The warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear or normal deterioration as a result of domestic residential use. The warranty does not cover defects caused by the application of teak oil, varnish or wood stain except the use of Teak Wonder Sealer. The warranty does not apply to furniture which has been placed on an uneven surface which as a result has caused the table to warp or caused opening/closing mechanical problems. For maximum longevity of your furniture your teak furniture should be placed on an even surface. The warranty is applicable only at the original delivery address unless the dismantling and moving of the furniture is done professionally by Ocean Teak employees at the current cost. A notice of 14 days prior to the move is required via email or in writing. Furniture which has not been delivered and assembled by Ocean Teak's own delivery team (whether by request or geographical limitations) is covered by the guarantee on a back to base basis only and the customer will be responsible for all costs of re-delivery and returning goods to our warehouse. Back to base means the warehouse from which the goods have been despatched. We cannot accept furniture which has been incorrectly assembled causing a fault or damage to the furniture.

Any money which you have paid excluding the delivery or collection cost will be refunded within 30 days provided that the Seller receives the goods unused, in its original packaging and in the same condition as they were in at the time of delivery to you. The Buyer's account shall then be credited with the full purchase price of the goods and excluding the collection cost. This credit may be used to buy items from the Seller's online catalogue. It may alternatively be exchanged for a refund. We recommend that you use an insured registered carrier to return your item. Ocean Teak will not be held liable for the cost of return or lost or damaged items.

5.5 Except where the Buyer acts as a Consumer all other warranties, conditions and terms relating to fitness for purpose, satisfactory quality or conditions of the products whether implied by statute or common law or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent of the law.

We will not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of any problem you notify to us and will have no liability to you for any failure or delay in delivering goods or any damage or defect in goods delivered which is caused by any event or circumstance which is beyond our reasonable control.

In this case the furniture will be returned to base and a re-delivery charge may apply.
