These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern the supply of a shepherd’s hut and any associated goods or services by Farmhouse Huts Limited (the “Seller”, “we”, “us”) to the person or business who buys them (the “Buyer”, “you”). Please read these Terms carefully before placing an order. By paying a deposit or signing an order acknowledgement you confirm that you accept these Terms.

1.  Definitions and Interpretation

1.1  “Goods” means the shepherd’s hut described in the Order Confirmation/Invoice.

1.2  “Order” means your request to purchase the Goods, “Order Confirmation/Invoice" means our written acceptance of it.

1.3  “Contract” means the contract between the Seller and the Buyer for the sale and purchase of the Goods, incorporating these Terms and the Order Confirmation/Invoice.

1.4  “Consumer” has the meaning given in the Consumer Rights Act 2015. A reference to a particular law is a reference to it as amended or re-enacted from time to time.

1.5  If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Order Confirmation/Invoice, the Order Confirmation/Invoice prevails.

2.  Basis of Contract

2.1  The Order constitutes an offer by you to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Terms. No contract comes into existence until we issue an Order Confirmation/Invoice, at which point the Contract is formed.

2.2  Any quotation we give is valid for 30 days from its date, unless stated otherwise, and does not constitute an offer capable of acceptance.

2.3  These Terms apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate.

3.  The Goods and Specification

3.1  The Goods are handcrafted, bespoke items. Each shepherd’s hut is built to the specification set out in the Order Confirmation/Invoice.

3.2  As the Goods are made from natural materials such as timber, variations in colour, grain, knots and finish are inherent characteristics and are not defects. Timber is a natural product and will move, settle and weather over time.

3.3  Images, drawings, samples, dimensions and descriptions in our marketing material are illustrative only and minor variations may occur in the finished Goods.

3.4  We may make changes to the specification that are necessary to comply with applicable law or safety requirements, or that do not materially affect the nature or quality of the Goods. We will notify you of any material change and you may cancel the affected part of the Order if you reasonably object.

4.  Price and Payment

4.1  The price of the Goods is set out in the Order Confirmation/Invoice and is exclusive of VAT, Please Note that when the company reaches the VAT threshold, VAT will be added at the rate in force at the date of invoice where applicable.

4.2  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a non-refundable deposit of £5,000.00 of the price is payable on placing the Order, with the balance payable in cleared funds before delivery.

4.3  Delivery, siting, craning, groundworks and connection of services are not included in the price unless expressly stated in the Order Confirmation/Invoice, and will be quoted separately.

4.4   If you arrange collection and delivery, we will not be liable for any damage in relation to collection, transport or delivery of goods you purchase from us if they are damaged however you will be liable for any damage caused to the collection site if any damage is caused.

4.6  You must pay all amounts due in full without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except as required by law).

5.  Delivery, Siting and Installation

5.1  If agreed, we will arrange delivery of the Goods to the location agreed in the Order Confirmation/Invoice. Any dates quoted for delivery are estimates only and time of delivery is not of the essence.

7.2  Bespoke goods exception: the cancellation right does not apply to goods that are made to your specification or clearly personalised. As our shepherd’s huts are bespoke and made to order, once manufacture has begun the statutory 14-day cancellation right will not apply to that hut.

8.  Warranty and Consumer Rights

8.1  We warrant that on delivery the Goods will conform in all material respects with their specification and be free from material defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months (the structure being covered for 5 years), subject to fair wear and tear and proper use and maintenance.
