We will give you this information in a clear and understandable way. Typically, we will do this in a written Proposal before you buy the Goods from us. Some of this information is likely to be obvious from the context. Some of this information is also set out in this contract, such as the company and contact details above, details of our warranty contact information in clause 12 and our cancellation and returns policy in clause 9. 4.2 The key information we give you by law forms part of this contract (as though it is set out in full here). 4.3 Once the contract is made we will only change any key information if you agree to it.

6. Ordering Goods from us Below, we have set out for your information how a legally binding contract between you and us is made: 6.1 The Proposal or any other information or quotation given to you by us or provided online before you make an order for Goods is not a binding offer by us to supply such Goods. 6.2 When you decide to place an order for Goods with us, this is when you offer to buy such Goods from us. 6.3 When you place your order with us, we will carefully check the details and will normally issue an Order Confirmation promptly by e-mail or post. If we have any queries or in the unlikely event of any changes being needed (for example if we need to change any details regarding products or installation dates) we will contact you as soon as possible by telephone or email. Once we have confirmed that you are happy we will send you an Order Confirmation/deposit invoice which includes these details. 6.4 The contract is binding once the Order Confirmation/deposit invoice is sent out and we will start the detailed design and production of the Goods ready to deliver and/or install them for you. See clause 9 for the cancellation policy.
7. Delivery and Installation The time(s) and date(s) for delivery, and for installation where applicable, will be arranged with you by phone/e-mail within the period shown on the Proposal and Order Confirmation. 7.2 If you have any questions please contact us using the details shown above. 7.3 If anything should happen which is outside of our control, and affects the estimated date of delivery and installation we will let you know as soon as possible and rearrange this with you and confirm it by email. 7.4 Delivery of the Goods will take place when we deliver them to the address that you gave to us, and if we are installing the Goods for you the order will be regarded as completed as soon as the installation has been satisfactorily finished and a completion form signed by a responsible person, and the installation manager on the day. We will require a responsible person to be available at the completion of the installation, or delivery, to inspect the work and product and to sign that this has been completed satisfactorily. If no one is available to sign for the completion of the works at the point of completion we will need to leave site and it will be assumed that the installation has been completed to the correct and satisfactory standard and any further site visits will then be chargeable. 7.5 If you require a mains gas, electrical or water and waste connection these are not included unless specifically stated within the Proposal and Order Confirmation and you will need to arrange these separately with suitably qualified and certified persons. Our quotation for installation is for a dry fix installation only and includes delivery and installation of kitchen units, worktops and placing of equipment. It excludes any first and second fix electrics, plumbing or gas work. These services need to be arranged separately using qualified contractors, unless specifically stated on the proposal. 7.6 You are responsible for the Goods when delivery has taken place. In other words, the risk in the Goods passes to you. 7.7 If you request that TOKC ship the Goods to an address outside of the UK mainland you agree to be responsible for the extra costs involved such as shipping, export paperwork, duty and taxes etc. and understand that cancellation and return rights long with Warranty may not apply outside the UK. 7.8 We reserve the right to charge for storage at a commercial rate for any products that cannot be delivered to site or installed on the agreed date given to you at the point of order, if the project is delayed through no fault of TOKC. The rate charged will be £10 per Euro pallet (1200mm x 800mm) per week plus additional delivery and stocking charges, if these apply. Larger pallets will be by separate quotation. Storage fees must be paid for in full before redelivery takes place. 7.9 Failed deliveries or installations will incur a restocking and redelivery charge if these are not the fault of TOKC and will be dependant on the size of the project, distance and length of the delay and the costs and loss of time incurred. If an installation is cancelled by the client with less than 3 day’s notice of the delivery/installation date then this will incur another installation fee. The redelivery charge will need to be paid in full before redelivery/installation takes place.
8. Payment and Price 8.1 We accept payment by bank transfer, cheques, and cash (Cash up to a certain monetary limit of £500). We also accept Visa, Mastercard and most debit cards with the following conditions. We do not accept American Express. Should you wish to pay for your project on Credit/Debit card we will only accept payments up to £1000. Kitchen projects above this value require payment by BACS transfer. Due to the bespoke nature of our kitchen and canopy projects no refund of deposits will be considered, either in part, or in full after the money clears into our account or 7 days from the invoice date, whichever is sooner. This is because fabrication will start at this point. Please note that it can take up to 7 days once a credit card payment is made until the funds reach our account and we cannot start to process the fabrication, or order the kitchen, until the funds are cleared. This can extend the delivery date to you, and when deadlines are tight BACS payments are quicker as funds reach our account immediately and we can process the order immediately. Payment of the full balance is required, in cleared funds, before installation/delivery can take place. Cancelled installation appointments due to payment not being received in time will incur additional charges and delays as per clause 7.9. 8.2 Payment is required as follows, unless other terms are set out in the Proposal or agreed in writing: 8.2.1 For website orders of in-stock products payment is required in full at point of order and delivery will be arranged within 10 working days unless clearly stated otherwise. 8.2.2 For orders placed by phone and/or email or for bespoke products other payment terms may apply and will be written on the proposal documentation/quotation. 8.3 The price of the Goods will be as shown on the Proposal and confirmed in the Order Confirmation including the following details: 8.3.1 The total price which includes VAT at the applicable rate. 8.3.2 All charges for delivery at the address shown. 8.3.3 Charges for installation if TOKC are providing this service. (Note: unless otherwise stated prices quoted for delivery and installation assume the address is on the UK mainland at ground level with normal access. If this is not the case extra charges will apply – please ask for a quotation before ordering.) If you have questions or anything is not clear please contact us for clarification as we want everything to be clear to you.
9. Right to Returns and cancellations 9.1 If, after the order has been placed and the deposit paid, the consumer needs to cancel the order, for whatever reason, the deposit will be refunded within 7 days of placing the order minus any restocking and cancellation charges that might imply – credit card fees are non-refundable. Due to the bespoke nature of all orders, no refund of the deposit invoice will be made after 7 days after the invoice date, or after fabrication has started as the goods will be in production. 9.2 It is important to understand that because of the specialist nature and large size of the product, delivery and collection costs are expensive and customers are required to pay for these if orders are cancelled after delivery. The cost of delivery may not be refunded and the cost of collection will be calculated and charged based on the cost of sending specialist carriers to the collection address. Any product returned must be in “as new” condition and TOKC may deduct charges for excessive handling or damage.

It must be possible to park the van/lorry/trailer within 25 meters of the location of installation, and the location of installation should be accessible from the vehicle by a paved path without any obstacles. - At the installation location, we need enough space to manoeuvre with a manually operated (gantry) crane, so we advise you not to plan other work to be done at the same time as the installation. - Plumbing and electricity works are excluded in all quotes, including but not exclusive to:- installing, diverting or adjusting of, for example electric cables, water pipes, gas pipes, garden irrigation etc. - Ensure that the installation area is clear and level before arrival, removing, rubble, paving, old fence, roots, plants, soil, sand, stones and other debris. The ground must be at or lower than the final finished level of the area. - If any obstructions, such as, but not restricted to, roots or debris under the surface, concrete foundations, etc. are found when digging the holes for the posts this will incur additional cost. - All paving, such as removal of pavement, patio tiles, gravel etc. to be done by others prior to arrival. - Reinstatement of any paving is excluded from all quotes. - Transportation of the elements through the house or building would incur an additional cost. - Vertically transporting the elements up steps, stairs, ramps, lift, etc. would incur additional costs. - Extra costs would be incurred for manually placing the kitchen when there is too little manoeuvring room for a (gantry) crane on the location of installation. - All spoil resulting from excavation of the post holes is to remain on site unless agreed prior to installation. We can remove and dispose of the spoil if required at an additional cost of £75 incl VAT. - If, due to obstructions, or not being able to get a good fixing in the ground, one or more posts need to be fixed to a stone wall, wooden fence, etc. this would incur an additional cost - Any customization/grinding of the standard elements on the location of installation would incur additional costs. - If high ground water or weak / soft ground is discovered on commencing digging results in only being able to set the posts in place, with no further elements installed, and a return visit is required to install these elements this would incur an additional cost. - Where WWOO are not undertaking the installation and we are only delivering the goods then the client, contractor or end user is to inspect the goods before the courier leaves the delivery address and all goods must be signed for as acceptable and undamaged, or returned in its original packaging.
CONCRETE QUALITY - There could be slight shade differences between different concrete elements and over the surface of individual elements due to the nature of pouring concrete. The WWOO kitchen has variations in it and this is considered to part of the beauty of the product. - Due to the nature of pouring concrete, small air holes may be present on the surface. During production, any large air holes will be filled in with a slip, however these may appear again over time. - Due to the nature of pouring concrete, small drying or shrinkage cracks may be present or appear on the surface. These are to be expected and are considered normal. They will not affect the structural stability or strength of the concrete. - The Anthracite colour will discolour slightly over time particularly if placed in direct sunlight. Coleman Croft Woodcock Hill St Albans Hertfordshire AL4 9HJ +44 (0)1727 743 712 info@wwoo.co.uk sales@theoutdoorkitchencollective.co.uk - The finish on one side of the posts will look very slightly different due to the moulding process - The sink will be installed in the worktop and the waste connected and left as an open pipe through the back of the wall.
