TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Use of the website martinhughesfurniture.co.uk and sale and purchase of products and or services from it are governed by the Terms and Conditions as detailed on this page. By browsing and using this website, you are agreeing to be subject to these terms and conditions.
ORDERING
No contract for the sale of any product will exist between you, the buyer and Martin Hughes Furniture, until the order has been confirmed by email.
This will detail products ordered, payment method and cost. It is the responsibility of the buyer to check that all order details are correct. You must inform us, the seller, of any mistakes or inaccuracies in the order, by email as soon as possible. Martin Hughes Furniture will not take any responsibility for any mistakes made during the order process.
All orders are subject to availability. Most items are made to order with the exception of plant stands. We make every effort to ensure all orders are delivered in a timely fashion. An estimated delivery date will be given once the order has been accepted. Smaller items are made more quickly, larger and bespoke items take longer. No guarantee of delivery date can be given on bespoke items made to order, an estimated timescale for delivery will be given at time of order. Every effort will be made to produce items quickly but without compromising quality.
There are times when delays are impossible to avoid. The customer will be kept informed of any delays within a reasonable time and every effort will be made to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Representation of all our products is done as accurately as possible via images and description. Wood is a natural product and is therefore subject to difference in colour and grain pattern. It can also contain natural flaws which are part of its beauty. If you have specific requirements regarding appearance you must make Martin Hughes Furniture aware of these, in writing, at time of order. Material samples can be provided by request. Wooden products vary greatly in colour, pattern and general appearance - the product you receive will differ slightly from the ones advertised.
PAYMENT
Prices shown are in UK sterling and include VAT at the prevailing rate, where applicable. Prices on our website are current at the time of display and are subject to variation without notice.
We do not store credit card details and your credit card transactions are secure. All on-line orders are encrypted and sent through our secure server, using SSL technology to prevent information from being intercepted.

CANCELLIATION AND RETURNS
When you purchase an item that is in stock (i.e. not made to order) you have the right to cancel your order and return items to us up to 14 days after delivery subject to the conditions below.
If you wish to cancel your order you must do so in writing by email at to martinhughesfurniture@gmail.com
If you request a refund, we will refund the amount you paid for your goods excluding the original delivery and the charge for returning the goods. If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods before they return to us and this causes the damage or deterioration of the products, we will charge you for the reduction in value.
Any returns should be unused and in their original packaging. Please check your goods thoroughly to ensure you are satisfied before disposing of your packaging.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all measurements of furniture purchased are checked to ensure accessibility. Any item of furniture that we are unable to deliver as a result of problems involving access that were not mentioned in writing at time of order will not be refunded.
For non-stock items, including bespoke orders, (i.e. items that are made to order on a typical 8-10 week lead time), no refunds are available once work has begun making the piece.
Furniture made to order (either standard size, custom and/or bespoke) may only be returned for full refund or exchanged in the unlikely event of items being found to be faulty.
For security reasons, refunds are given by the same method that the original payment was made by.
This cancellation policy does not affect your statutory rights.
FAULTY GOODS
Every effort is made to ensure your goods arrive in a perfect condition. However, if you should find any problem with your order please contact us at martinhughesfurniture@gmail.com
Please do not attempt to fix the problem yourself, contact us first. Goods or products that have been tampered with in any way by any party other than Martin Hughes Furniture will be ineligible for refund or return, as it will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
We try to display our products as accurately as possible on our website. However, as different computers display different colours, we cannot guarantee the complete accuracy of the pictures or photographs shown.
DISCLAIMER
We supply high quality prime furniture grade wood. This may vary for grain, colour, knots and other markings. We do our best to select and match as appropriate but we cannot accept returns on the basis of natural variations. Any special requirements for colour, matching, etc. must be provided in writing.
Wood warpage, shrinkage, and dimensional changes:
Wood is an active material, in that it is known to have dimensional changes depending upon moisture, temperature, humidity etc.
We purchase and supply prime furniture grade wood which has been dried to correct moisture content but sometimes warpage, shrinkage etc, can still occur, especially when the furniture is shipped to drier climates from where it was made. We will accept returns if the timber was not appropriately dried but we cannot accept returns that stem from climactic differences. Should movement occur in the wood addressing issues of temperature and moisture usually resolves the issue.
