Any typographical or clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by the Seller shall be subject to correction without any liability on the part of the Seller.
If any provision of these conditions is adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part the validity of the other provisions of these conditions and the remainder of those provisions in question shall not be affected.

The refund will be made as soon as possible and, in any event, within 30 days of your order and the Seller will not be obliged to offer any compensation for disappointment suffered.
The price and payment
Save as provided otherwise herein the Price shall be that as stipulated in the Seller’s published price list current at the date of order of the Products.

Payment of the Price shall be due at the date of the order. Time for payment shall be of the essence. If the Buyer does not pay the Price on notification of shipment the Seller may bring an action for the Price even though property in the Products has not been passed to the Buyer.

An order may be cancelled at any time between the placement of the order and 7 days following delivery of the goods.

Any money which you have paid (excluding additional shipping charges) will be refunded within 30 days provided that the Seller receives the goods in the same condition they were in at the time of delivery to you in their original packaging or similar. Items which are not adequately packaged at time of collection will not be collected and a charge of £25 will be levied to cover cost of failed collection.

Disclaimer
The information of this website is provided by Living Outdoors as a service to the public.

Our Refunds Policy
The following describes how we calculate refunds. The Living Outdoors refunds policy does not affect your statutory rights.
Some notes about refunds:
When you send your item back to Living Outdoors (or, in the case of large items delivered via specialist courier, when we collect the item from you), we'll process the returned item then notify you via telephone or e-mail of your refund. You can expect a refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase within one week of our receiving your returned product as long as it is received in resaleable condition and in the original packaging.
How Refunds Are Calculated
Items returned due to damage, defective or incorrect
If you are returning an item because of an error on our part or, in accordance with our returns policy, because it is damaged or defective, we will refund the delivery charges incurred in sending the item to you and pay your costs of returning it to us (either via a personalised pre-paid return label, or by refunding your return postage costs). Specific rules apply to the return of large items. Living Outdoors will check all items returned as damaged or defective. In the event we find no fault, we reserve the right to re-charge you for the item/s and to recover our fees and expenses from you.
Items returned within the seven-day cooling off period
By law, customers located in the European Union also have the right to withdraw from the purchase of an item within seven working days of the day after the date the item is delivered.
Where you are withdrawing from your purchase within the seven working day cooling-off period, and there has been no error on our part, we will refund the cost of the item less the costs and services related to the delivery as follows:
1) We will refund the cost of the product less the delivery cost
2) We will not refund any extra costs related to the delivery, such as Installation.
3) The cost of returning the goods is the responsibility of the customer. For large products we will arrange collection and deduct the cost from your account.
4) Unfortunately items that are manufactured to order we cannot replace or refund unless the goods are defective or not as ordered.
Delivery Times
We aim to advise approximate delivery times when you place your order but, as standard, our orders are delivered within 10-15 working days. Normally the delivery times are met except in abnormal circumstances such as out-of-stock situations, import problems, European statutory holidays etc. We will do our best to inform you in advance of any of these problems.
How do we deliver ?
Delivery of items: items are delivered by parcel carrier or supplier transport between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and are delivered to your door. Items must be signed for and the carrier is instructed to leave a card so that the customer can ring the depot to re-arrange delivery if no-one is in.
Delivery of bistro tables, chairs and outdoor furniture: these items are normally delivered by heavy parcel carrier on a pallet between the hours of 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday. Depending on the type of product these deliveries are flat-packed and unassembled. The reasons for this are to reduce cost, to reduce damage in transit, and therefore to minimize returns. Assembly is always straightforward. Pallet delivery is to kerbside (or car park in the case of business customers).
