TERMS & CONDITIONS

INTRODUCTION

We are sole traders trading as The Faded Shed, based in Bells Yew Green, East Sussex. Your use of this website and any order you place through this website are subject to the following terms of business:

1. SALE OF GOODS

a. These terms and your order comprise the agreement between you and The Faded Shed for the sale of the goods. Any amendments to that agreement must be formally confirmed in writing. You need to ensure that you are happy with these terms before you submit your order because our agreement will be governed by the terms once a contract comes into force between us.

b. Any photographs or descriptions we use on our website are used exclusively to provide you with an approximate idea of the items we are selling, and do not form part of the contract between you and us for the sale of goods.

c. Your order is an offer by you to enter into a legally binding contract that we may accept or decline at our discretion.

d. These terms shall become binding on both parties when we issue you with confirmation of purchase, at which point we shall both enter into a contract.

e. You may cancel your order in accordance with your rights under UK law.

f. We have the right to revise and amend these terms from time to time. You will be subject to the terms in force at the time that you order the goods from us.

2. THE GOODS

a. We always try to describe all items for sale as fully and as accurately as possible, to the best of our knowledge, providing as much history, age and details as we know, alongside a full description of any notable defects or faults. However, it should be noted that the items that we are selling are vintage or antique so, in most cases, items may have some age-related wear and tear or other issues normally associated with years of use or age which forms part of the appearance and nature of an antique or vintage item. Small signs of wear are normal and appropriate to the authenticity of the items. By placing an order, you are deemed to acknowledge the vintage nature of the goods we are selling.

b. We will take all reasonable steps to pack the goods properly and to ensure that you receive your order in good condition.

c. We shall not be liable for any defect in the goods arising from wear and tear, wilful damage, accident and/or negligence by you or any third party.

3. HEALTH & SAFETY

a. The goods we sell are genuine and original products that were manufactured before today’s health and safety standards. We do not guarantee or imply any guarantee of compliance with health and safety standards or fitness for any purpose. All original vintage products are clearly marked in the product description with an approximate date of manufacture.

b. For electrical items in particular, while they may be perfectly safe to use, vintage electrical goods are unlikely to meet current UK standards that can change from time to time. We recommend that all electrical goods are inspected, PAT tested, certified and installed by a qualified electrician who can confirm that the items and their use are protected by an RCD. We will not be liable for any loss, injury or death caused by electrical goods that have not been inspected, tested and certified by a qualified electrician.

4. DELIVERY

a. Collection: All items are available for inspection and/or collection from our site in Bells Yew Green, East Sussex.

b. Delivery: delivery arrangements are set out in the ‘Delivery’ section of this website. However, if you arrange your own delivery, you will need to pay the courier or shippers direct and communicate directly with them once the goods have left our site. Items picked up by your own delivery companies or sent by third party delivery services recommended by us are not covered by us in terms of insurance. Delivery agents should all have their own insurance options and you will need to confirm this with them.

c. We are happy for you to arrange collection of items personally from The Faded Shed. Unless we have agreed otherwise, orders not collected within the agreed time will incur a storage fee of £10 per week. The same fees will be applied where third party delivery is delayed, unless there has been prior agreement to the contrary.

d. For smaller items where we arrange delivery, we will aim to ship your order within two to four working days of it being placed. Where this is not possible, we will liaise with you and arrange alternative delivery dates.

e. If you have not taken delivery of the goods within six weeks of our notifying you that they are ready, we may, after giving you reasonable prior notice in writing, re-sell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, pay you for any excess over the price of the goods or charge you for any shortfall below their price.

5. RETURNS

a. In the unlikely event that the goods delivered do not conform to these terms and the order, please let us know as soon as possible after receipt and we will find a mutually agreeable solution, be it a refund, a credit note or replacement if this is possible.

b. Freight items delivered via third party delivery services must be checked thoroughly and approved by you when you take receipt of them and any problems notified to the driver at the time of delivery.

c. It is your right to cancel your order any time from placing the order until five working days from the day after delivery. If such cancellation is made, we

will not be responsible for the cost involved in returning your unwanted goods.

d. All returns should be notified to us before sending and unwanted goods must be returned within five days of delivery. Goods must be returned in the same condition they were sent out and arrangements for delivery of returns must be notified to us.

6. TITLE & RISK

a. For small items we undertake to deliver to you and for which payment is made at the time of purchase from our website, will be your responsibility from the time you take delivery.

b. For freight items sent via third party delivery services, the goods will cease to be our responsibility from the time they leave our premises.

c. Ownership of the goods will only pass to you when we receive payment in full of all sums due for the goods, including delivery charges where applicable.

7. INTERNATIONAL

For items to be sent worldwide, we can obtain a quote on the buyer’s behalf but we will not be liable for any export or import duties or taxes arising as a result of the goods being sent.

8. PAYMENT

Payment for all goods must be made in advance by credit or debit card at the time of ordering. We accept payment by debit or credit cards and PayPal. At our discretion, we may accept bank transfers.
