Items” means the kitchen or other item(s) of furniture which you purchase from a Seller.

Order” means the order which sets out the terms on which you have requested to purchase Items from a Seller.

Seller” means a seller of goods that is introduced to you through the Website.

3.         Using the Website

3.1       You should agree the terms of the purchase of your Items directly with us as agent for the Seller, and not with the Seller direct. If we notify you that the Seller has accepted your offer then a binding contract will be automatically created between you and the Seller for the supply of those Items once you have made payment to us for the Items.

3.2       All payments (including any deposit required) for your Items must be made only through the Used Kitchen Company. You undertake not to pay or seek to make any payments directly or indirectly to Sellers in relation to the Items or anything else they are offering for sale. We will receive your payment as agent for the Seller in full prior to dismantle/collection date and will transfer the relevant payment to the Seller.

3.3       In the event that your Order is cancelled for any reason, or if you have any complaint or claim you wish to make in respect of any Items purchased, or you wish to seek a refund of your purchase price, you must do so directly with the Seller. We pass your purchase money to the Seller and therefore we are not in a position to refund to you any monies.

3.4       If the Seller has agreed a deposit, we will pass this on to the Seller (all deposits are non refundable). In the event that you wish to cancel your purchase or receive your deposit back from the Seller, for any reason, you must contact the Seller directly. We are not able to intervene in such matters and we will not be in a position to return your deposit.

3.5       You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any failure by a Seller:

(a)        to deliver the Items you have ordered;

(b)        to return any deposit;

(c)        to return any other payment made to the Seller; or

(d)        resulting from any defect of any nature you may find in the Items.

3.6       We have no obligation to be present on collection or delivery of any Items.

3.7       You will be responsible for arranging the dismantling, removal, delivery and/or fitting of any kitchens or other Items (or for delivery only if it has already been dismantled). We cannot do this for you, although we may recommend third parties to you who are able to do so.  Accordingly, we are not responsible for their actions or for any damage that may occur as a result. If you have any claims resulting from removal or delivery of Items, such claims must be made directly with the removal/delivery company directly. If you do not wish to use removers recommended by us, you will be responsible for arranging the removal and delivery of your Items from the Seller and any costs involved in doing so (unless otherwise agreed between you and the Seller).

3.8       We cannot guarantee that the Items you purchase will match the description or the photographs which the Seller has given to us to post on the Website. If there is any discrepancy in your Order, you will need to take this matter up directly with the Seller. We are not responsible in such a case and we will have no obligation to enter into any correspondence with the Seller to try to resolve any dispute.

3.9       We highly recommend that you inspect the Items in person prior to placing an Order to confirm measurements, condition and working order and to check for any discrepancies against the sale description.

3.10     You understand that we may need to disclose your customer information to the Seller. By using the Website you give your consent for us to disclose your personal data to a potential Seller.
