Terms & Conditions

Definitions
"We", "us" or "the company" means Oliver Lamps.
"You", "the customer" or "the buyer" means the person, company or entity contracting to purchase the goods.
"The goods" are the items that you order from us as specified by our order acknowledgement and on our invoice.

Order Acceptance
We can receive orders via the company's web site, by phone, fax, mail or e-mail using the contact methods published on our web site or in other publicity materials. We reserve the right to refuse to accept orders or to require additional confirmation at our discretion. We acknowledge receipt of your orders via an appropriate communication: For example, web-based orders are acknowledged automatically by e-mail, telephone orders are acknowledged verbally at time of order. Orders placed by telephone are accepted when the order is placed and a contract of sale then exists between us and you from that time. If orders are placed by fax, by mail, by agent or via our web site, no contract exists between you and the company until our official invoice has been issued.

Refunds
If we acknowledge an order but, for some reason outside our control, we are unable to complete the transaction within 28 days then any payment made will be refunded immediately if you ask us to do so. Refunds due against returned goods will be paid as soon as the returned goods are received by us, subject to the goods being received in unused, undamaged condition in their original packaging.

Pricing
We endeavour to ensure that all published prices are correct, however we reserve the right to change prices without notice and not to accept orders at prices that have been quoted in error. Prices are quoted in pounds sterling and unless specifically stated are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate of 17.5%.

Payment
Payment is accepted in pounds sterling by cheque with order (made payable to "Oliver Lamps") or by most major credit or debit cards as detailed on our web site at time of order. Business customers may be offered credit facilities at our discretion and subject to appropriate checks and references.

Goods shall remain the sole and absolute property of Oliver Lamps until such time as the purchaser shall have paid to Oliver Lamps the agreed price together with the full price of any other good the subject of any other contract with Oliver Lamps.

We aim to despatch orders within 48 hours of receipt, subject to stock availability, but please allow up to a maximum of 28 days for delivery. Orders are delivered by the most appropriate method, usually by courier, second class post or parcel post. If any delays occur, we will endeavour to keep you informed. If delivery is delayed beyond 28 days, we will always give you the option of receiving a full refund of any payments that you have made.
