7. Damaged and Faulty Goods

Pennine Fencing & Landscaping undertake to provide products and service of the highest quality and will try to rectify any problems should they arise, and request that you read the general points listed below about timber:

  • Timber is a natural material and as such will vary in shades and will alter further with weathering.
  • Shrinking and expansion of timber may occur due to seasonal changes and weather.
  • Hot and humid temperatures may naturally cause “shakes”, “splits / cracks” and warping to possibly appear. These do not affect the longevity of the product and is not a valid reason for returning products or replacing parts.
  • Knots in timber are a natural occurrence, these will vary in size and shape, sometimes they may also dislodge.
  • The green spotting sometimes apparent on the surface of some products is caused by salt / resin leaving the timber during the pressure treatment process. It will fade / vanish over time and does not affect the durability of the product.
  • All timber products are either wholly or in part handmade with the aid of machines and small differences can occur.

The Buyer must inspect the Goods upon receipt and once signed for are deemed acceptable. The Seller will not be liable for any shortages in quantity delivered nor any defect in quality, nature or condition of the Goods or for non compliance with any specification unless the Buyer endorses the delivery document with details of the claim. If not signed for the Buyer must notify the Seller within 48hs of delivery by e-mail leslie@penninefencing.co.uk or contact us on 01706 659703 that the Goods are damaged or do not comply with the contract.

When a claim of defect or damage is made this must be supported with photographic proof, and it is at the discretion of Pennine Fencing & Landscaping as to whether the damage warrants a replacement of the complete product or that replacement parts be supplied to rectify the damage / fault. Where replacement parts are provided these are to be fitted by the Buyer. It is the responsibility of the Seller to collect faulty Goods if the items are large, otherwise the Goods shall be returned by the Buyer to the Seller and the Buyer will be entitled to replacement Goods or full credit (excluding delivery cost if applicable). E-mail [email protected] or contact us on 01706 659703.

The Seller will not accept any liability in respect of Goods supplied which subsequently prove to be defective where such goods have been altered.

8. Force Majeure

Neither the Seller nor the Buyer will be liable for any failure or delay to undertake any of its obligations if this results from events or circumstances beyond anyone’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, strikes, lock outs, accidents, war, fire, breakdown of plant or machinery or shortage or unavailability of raw materials which are from a natural source of supply, and both party will be entitled to a reasonable extension of its obligations.
