A to Z Wood Company: Terms and Conditions of Supply

At AtoZ Wood Company, we genuinely believe that we’re here because of the hard work and dedication of our workers. It’s not sufficient to pay them just in money, which is why we invest heavily in our workers’ safety, health, growth, and well-being.

2. Our Products

2.1 Visual and Physical Characteristics

Images of the Products on our Site are for illustration purposes only. Due to the nature of specialized industrial materials (e.g., timber, plywood, slabs), slight colour variations, inherent characteristics, and material defects are possible. We cannot guarantee your display accurately reflects the Product colour. The delivered Products may vary from the images.

2.2 Conditioning and Installation

Certain materials are sensitive to temperature and humidity, meaning they gain or lose moisture, potentially causing them to shrink or expand. Products may require conditioning or treatment before installation. The correct installation specification and moisture content must be followed for the Products to perform to their required standard. We are not liable for performance failures due to improper storage, conditioning, handling, or installation by you.

2.3 Measurement and Tolerance

All sizes, dimensions, and measurements indicated on our Site are subject to a 10% tolerance margin (as measured upon leaving the Company premises), unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

2.4 Availability and Packaging

All Products are subject to availability. If a Product you ordered is unavailable (e.g., out of stock or due to a pricing or stock error), we will inform you by email, cancel your order, and immediately refund any payment received. Packaging may vary from that shown on the Site.

3. Contract Formation and Privacy

3.1 How the Contract is Formed

  1. Order Placement: You place an order via the Site or on the phone.
  2. Acknowledgment: You receive an automated acknowledgment email, verifying that we have received your order.
  3. Acceptance: We send you an acceptance confirmation after checking availability and other factors:
    • Standard Orders: We send a Dispatch Confirmation.
    • Specification Orders: We send a Specification Confirmation.
  4. Refusal/Cancellation: If we cannot supply the Product (e.g., stock issue, pricing error), we will notify you and refund you in full, and the order will be cancelled.

3.2 Privacy Policy

We use your personal information solely in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please ensure you read this policy, as it contains important applicable terms.

4. Price, Payment, and Revisions

4.1 Pricing and VAT

Product prices are available upon request and may vary depending on order size and quantity. Delivery charges are separate and provided with the quote. We take reasonable care to ensure accuracy, but errors may occur.

4.2 Pricing Errors

If we find an error in the price of the ordered Products, we will inform you and give you the option to proceed at the right price or cancel the order. We will not process the order until we receive your confirmation. If the error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised as a mispricing, we are not obliged to provide the Products at the incorrect (lower) price.

4.3 How to Pay

Payment for the Products and all applicable delivery charges is required in advance or according to the payment terms communicated to you by our team. We accept major Credit and Debit cards and PayPal.

5. Delivery, Risk, and Ownership
