General Terms and Conditions 19.02.2015

All terms and conditions relating to the supply of products from Oakwood Archer websites are covered below. Please read all terms and conditions carefully before placing an order. By ordering any of our Products, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

Please print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference.

By confirming your order you have entered into a binding agreement with us and have agreed to accept these terms and conditions.

1. ABOUT Oakwood Archer

This is a website operated by Oakwood Archer Limited


2. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

This website is available for use worldwide, with international shipping available. Please see our "Delivery Information" page for further details.

3. YOUR STATUS

By placing an order through our website you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.

4. CUSTOMER INFORMATION

4.1 Communicating with the customer
The customer has to indicate when placing the order at the latest an email address, whose operability he has to ensure from the moment he places the order until the definite completion of the order. The customer has to assure in particular with the adjustment of his spam filter (off line and/or by his provider) that he gets the emails of. This email address also applies for future orders until it is recalled or until the customer sends a notification of change.

Oakwood Archer is authorised, but not obligated, to send messages of any kind – also such messages that are of essential importance for the contractual relationship and the correct implementation of the contract – by other means than electronic mail. In particular the customer can neither demand that messages for him are sent by telephone, letter, and fax or by services of telecommunication systems – e.g. short message services (SMS) – nor can he successfully invoke ignorance if messages by such means of communication are missing, when Oakwood Archer has sent the message to the email address according to paragraph 1.

Messages of Oakwood Archer, which are sent by email to the email address according to paragraph 1, are presumed to be received by the customer after their dispatch. Oakwood Archer is only responsible for transmission errors if their causing is based on Oakwood Archer’s own sphere. The customer is allowed to provide evidence that he has not received a message sent to him for reasons that are beyond his sphere.

Oakwood Archer is regularly not obligated to point out to the customer that there is a missing, wrong or an inoperable email address in terms of paragraph 1. However, the customer is allowed to provide evidence that such a message would have been technically feasible and reasonable.

4.2 Personal data and privacy policy
The personal data (for instance name, address, payment information) you have provided us with will be used for the fulfilment and processing of the contract. Our delivery company will be given access to your data as far as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. If you have agreed to us doing so, we will also use your data to inform you about our latest products and other news concerning our offers. You are entitled to withdraw your agreement at any time. Additionally, you have the right to request us to change or delete your data. This process will not entail any further costs, except those charged by your provider for sending emails. If we alter or delete your personal data you have the right to be informed.

We store your personal data as well as data concerning your order for the purposes of fulfilling the Contract. You will receive all information concerning the formation and the implementation of the Contract, and your order data. You can save this email on your PC which will enable you to access these data at any time. Additionally, you can access your personal data as well as data concerning your order by logging in to your account and choosing the appropriate menu.

If you have any questions concerning data protection, please feel free to contact our customer service.

6. THE CONTRACT BETWEEN US

7. AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

7.1 All the specified delivery schedules will not be fixed. A fixed schedule must have been expressly designated as such and agreed by Oakwood Archer. As a rule, specified delivery schedules denote planned shipment times.

7.2 The delivery date is dependant upon receipt and confirmation by Oakwood Archer of all data, payments and email notices, after receipt of payment. The beginning of the delivery time has to be postponed until receiving it accordingly. The delivery period is specified in working days - Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.

7.3 The delivery period will be regarded as having been observed if the goods have left the shop or, if they can be dispatched, have been reported as ready for shipment by the end of the delivery period. This will be subject to Oakwood Archer being supplied correctly and on time. Prompt and proper fulfilment by the customer of their obligations will be required so that the delivery period is observed.

7.4 If the agreed delivery schedule is not observed by Oakwood Archer, you will first set a reasonable period of grace in writing. You can rescind the Contract if this period of grace expires without result.

8. RISK AND TITLE

8.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery. If the goods are ready for dispatch and shipment or acceptance of them is delayed for reasons for which we are not to blame, the risk shall pass to the customer when the customer receives notice that the goods are ready for shipment.

8.2 Ownership of the Products will pass to you only when Oakwood Archer receives full payment of all sums due, including delivery charges.

9. PRICE AND PAYMENT

9.1 The prices of any Products will be as quoted on Oakwood Archer’ website from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

9.2 These prices include VAT but exclude delivery costs. The costs for shipment will cover once-only dispatch to the delivery address specified by the customer, with the exception of backorders that will dispatched at our cost as personally agreed.

9.3 Oakwood Archer’ website contains a large number of Products and Services and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some items may on occasion be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than the stated price, we will charge the lower amount. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

9.4 Oakwood Archer is under no obligation to provide the Product or Service to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after it has sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognized by you as a ‘mis-pricing’.

9.5 Payment for all Products and Services must be made through one of the following:

    PayPal (PayPal account or Debit/Credit Card)

9.6 The stated prices apply on the condition that the order data on which the prices are based does not change after conclusion of the Contract. Costs caused by subsequent changes instigated by the customer will be charged separately.

9.7 Oakwood Archer will send invoices by means of an email and printed invoice with your package (where applicable). By submitting an order the customer agrees to this form of invoicing. Payments will be due regardless of whether and when an invoice is issued.

9.8 Unless specified otherwise on the Order Confirmation, the gross total price will be due for payment upon placing your order (prior to receipt of the Order Confirmation).
