PROTECTION OF CUSTOMERS
We endeavour to protect the area for collections taken by active store based container customers within a ten mile radius. We do not protect the area of wholesale customers and all stock deemed to be an accessory is not protected by this rule.
Should issues arise with active container customers and the collections taken in a particular geographical area, Besp-Oak reserves the right to withdraw a collection from sale at any point without notice.
PRODUCT DESIGN
We may occasionally alter or slightly change the design of items. We cannot accept these changes as faults. Most of our furniture is handcrafted and therefore sizes are only offered as a guide. We reserve the right to change specification without prior notice.
PAYMENTS & PRICING
We do not take payments online as it is necessary for us to check and assign your order prior to its acceptance.
Payments can be made to us by cash, card, BACS or cheque. We do not accept American Express.

It is the company’s policy to comply with the Code of Practice for traders on price indications issued by the D.T.I. Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate.
WHOLESALE PAYMENTS
Prior to despatch, we will send to you by email a ‘Payment Request’ which details the outstanding balance for that order. Payment Requests do not take into account any credits which are assigned to you. You must then make contact with us to make payment or instruct us as to how and when payment will be made.
We only operate on cleared funds therefore full payment must be made on or before the scheduled collection or delivery date.
We reserve the right to cancel collections or deliveries if the required funds are not present in adequate time.

Stock levels may vary and we accept no liability for any losses related to Besp-Oak being unable to fulfil your stock requirement.
All purchase orders submitted by fax must be sent to us on letter headed paper, stating the full product code and required quantity along with the relevant contact details for the person submitting the order.
All orders will be acknowledged by email.
Stock is allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

We allow 14 days for collection or delivery of available stock to take place. If 14 days have passed without any action by the customer being taken to make the necessary arrangements, your stock reservation period will expire and your stock will be released for general sale.
Orders placed for items that are out of stock will be kept on back order and ordered in for you when a stock order is raised for that factory. Once we have ordered your product(s), an ETA date will be applied in your order summary.
By placing an order with us, you are acknowledging that we may alter the designs or sizes of our products at any time. We cannot accept these changes as faults however we do accept that this may make the goods unfit for purpose or no longer required. Customers can return the item with all original carriage charges and costs being at the Customers expense. If the item is for a specific purpose please be sure to email ahead before ordering to check that there are no specific changes being made to the product to be ordered that could affect its desired usage.
The majority of Besp-Oak’s stock is hand crafted and as a result it is inevitable that the sizes we provide are offered as a guide only. We reserve the right to change specifications without prior notice.
It is virtually impossible to accurately portray the true colour of natural or painted wood products or upholstery fabric and leather in a picture displayed on a VDU screen. This is due to differing screen resolutions and natural variations. With regards to our wood furniture, we endeavor to give the best portrayal of colour, but we cannot accept colour or shade differences as faults.
