Returns and Refunds Policy
We want you to be delighted
with your purchase. Once you receive your furniture you have Seven (7)
days to decide whether you wish to return it. If you wish to return
your furniture you can either make your own arrangements or ask us to
make the necessary arrangements for collection. If you would like NaturalGiftware.co.uk
to collect your furniture a charge will be deducted from your refund
(See section 8 below).
1. About this Returns and Refunds
Policy
The terms and conditions set
out in this "Returns and Refunds Policy" apply to all goods
purchased from NaturalGiftware.co.uk, whether you buy through our website
at http://www.NaturalGiftware.co.uk/, over the phone or otherwise.
Together with the Terms &
Conditions this Returns and Refunds Policy forms part of a legally binding
contract between you and us, which you accept whenever you buy goods
from NaturalGiftware.co.uk. All of the terms and conditions will apply
equally to this Returns and Refunds Policy, including any defined terms.
In the event of a conflict between the Terms & Conditions and this
Returns and Refunds Policy, the Terms & Conditions will apply.
2. Your right to cancel made
to order goods
2.1 Goods that are ordered
to your specification, for example made to order sofas, cannot be cancelled
or returned once the order is accepted. In this case, after we have
sent you our Delivery Advice email you will have entered into a binding
contract to buy the goods, and because the goods are being made to your
specification you will not be able to cancel that contract. Once the
goods have been delivered you can only return them if they are not of
satisfactory quality or reasonably fit for the purpose and we cannot
remedy the fault to your reasonable satisfaction.
3. Your right to cancel "off
the shelf" goods
3.1 Where you place an order
through NaturalGiftware.co.uk for standard stock products which are
not made to your specification you can cancel your order at any time
before the goods are delivered to you.
3.2 Following receipt of the
goods, you can cancel your contract by notifying us (as set out in section
4 below) within Seven (7) days of the date on which the goods were delivered.
This means that if you change your mind about the goods or for any other
reason you decide you do not want to keep the goods, you can notify
us of your decision to cancel the contract, and then return the goods
to us for a refund. If your order comprises more than one item you can
cancel and return any of the items individually or in combination.
3.3 Nothing within these Returns
and Refunds Policy or the Terms & Conditions affects your rights
under law, and in particular you will always be entitled to return goods
to us for a full refund if they were mis-described, or are not of satisfactory
quality or reasonably fit for their purpose and we cannot remedy the
fault to your reasonable satisfaction.
4. How to cancel
4.1 If you wish to cancel an
order please contact NaturalGiftware.co.uk by calling 02089085118.

email to hand and be ready to quote your order number and to specify
which goods you want to return. Alternatively you may give us written

or by writing to us at NaturalGiftware.co.uk, Customer Services Team,
Unit 17a Quad Road East Lane Business Park Wembley HA9

order number in the written notice, and clearly specify which goods
you wish to return.
4.2 Where you cancel your order
after the goods have been delivered you agree to return the goods to
us by following the procedure set out below.
5. Returning your goods
5.1 To arrange collection of
the unwanted goods please contact NaturalGiftware.co.uk by calling 02089085118.
Please have your order number and delivery receipt to hand. We will
then arrange for your unwanted goods to be collected by a NaturalGiftware.co.uk
representative. A collection fee will apply, see section 8.
5.2 You agree to return the
goods in full, in a resalable condition and securely packaged (properly
repacked in their original packaging if they were removed from it).
You are responsible for all costs of returning the goods.
5.3 If you decide to return
goods to us after you have started to assemble them then you should
disassemble them to the extent necessary to allow them to be properly
returned. However, if disassembly is reasonably likely to cause damage
to an item please leave it assembled and let us know by speaking to
NaturalGiftware.co.uk Customer Services Team on 02089085118.
6. Taking reasonable care of
the goods
6.1 You agree to take reasonable
care of the goods from the time that they are delivered to you until
the time that they are returned. Examples of a failure to take reasonable
care of goods may include if you use the goods, if you assemble or part
assemble the goods or if you remove the goods from their packaging and
fail to properly repack them. If your failure to take reasonable care
of the goods means that they cannot be resold as new we reserve the
right to apply a charge of 30% of the price you paid for the goods,
which you agree we may discount from your refund for the goods. We can
only re-sell opened, assembled or used goods in-store at a significantly
discounted price and the 30% charge is your agreed contribution to our
likely loss on these goods.
6.2 If the goods are damaged
whilst in your care (including damage caused in assembling or disassembling
the goods), if you fail to return all parts of the goods or otherwise
if your failure to take reasonable care of the goods means that we reasonably
believe that resale will not be possible at all, you agree that we may
withhold payment of all or part of the refund in respect of the goods
as compensation for our loss on these goods. Without limitation, this
paragraph 12 will apply to mattresses and other goods which are delivered
with a protective covering. You should make all reasonable attempts
to examine the goods before removing the protective covering, and agree
that removing the protective covering will constitute a failure to take
reasonable care of the goods.

7.1 Collection of the goods
will only take place from the delivery address to which they were delivered,
and will be subject to the following conditions:
7.1.1 you agree to provide
NaturalGiftware.co.uk with as much detail as possible of relevant features
of the delivery address (for instance, in the case of a 2 man truck

prepare for the collection;

there is suitable access to the chosen collection location;

of re-arranging collection;
7.1.4 If our representative
reasonably considers that collection from the room of your choice is
likely to cause damage to the goods or to your property, they will inform
you and record this concern on the collection document. You may instruct

we will not be liable for any damage caused to your property or to the
goods as a consequence of us attempting collection on your instructions
(provided that reasonable care is taken in collecting the goods);

your own risk until they have been removed by our collection agents
from your premises;

as if they were your own;
