Our terms and conditions comply with existing legislation including the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended); the Consumer Credit Act 1974, if appropriate, (as amended) and any legislation relating to restrictive trade practices.For all business transactions between the Buyer and the Seller, the terms and conditions of Cast and Pine Direct apply.

Warranties & Guarantee of Quality of Goods Supplied
The Seller guarantees the product for 12 months from the day of purchase. We operate a full satisfaction policy and if you are not happy with the quality of the goods supplied when they are delivered we will take goods back immediately and refund any monies already paid to us. You should therefore satisfy yourself at the point of delivery that goods are satisfactory, and if not, you should refuse to accept them from the deliverer or carrier, who will return them immediately to us. Normal Manufacturer's guarantees also apply. Your statutory rights are not affected. Before they buy goods Buyers should satisfy themselves that:

• Goods are of in perfect condition and should have no "unacceptable" defects, apart from those pointed out to you by the seller at the time of purchase;
• Goods are fit for the purpose for which you intend to use them - including any particular purpose you mention to the seller. For example, whether you intend to use a fireplace as a functional fitting, or purely for decorative non-functional purposes, you should ensure that the product you intend to purchase is fit for that purpose. Similarly, if you intend to burn a particular fuel (coal or a gas fire for example) you should ensure before buying that the product you intend to buy is capable of burning that fuel. We are happy to advise and discuss compatibilities with you;
• Goods are as described - by the seller and/or in the catalogue descriptions on this website.

Please note that any faults due to negligence, rough handling or unfair treatment after receipt and acceptance of goods are not covered by guarantee. Basically, if the fault is clearly ours then Cast and Pine Direct will honour all guarantees on our products. However, if the fault is the Buyer's we cannot be held responsible. Buyers should therefore inspect goods on delivery, and should refuse to accept delivery where there is damage or other faults in evidence as a result of transportation. After the Buyer has accepted delivery, we cannot be held responsible for subsequent damage. We may however be prepared to make some reparations, but this is at our sole discretion and on the basis of goodwill, and not on the basis of any liability on our part.
