Furniture terms & conditions
IMPORTANT
Before purchasing a vintage/antique item please make sure you have read the listing carefully, please keep in mind before purchasing that age-appropriate wear is part of buying vintage and antiques and this is a disclaimer that you are buying used items that may have wear and/or flaws which the pictures cannot depict, they are sold ‘as is’, ‘with flaws’ and are not new. Antique & vintage items may have developed their own historical marks, bumps, scrapes, stains, minor damage, old signs of woodworm & general appearance of age and character that you would associate with this type of furniture, therefore items will not be accepted as faulty or returnable and ‘are fit for purpose’. The purchaser hereby acknowledges this and all goods are purchased by the purchaser “as is” and “with all faults”
To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend that you closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details in particular measurements before purchasing anything. We do try our best to describe any major details, if you’re unsure about an item’s condition, dimensions, quality, or description please contact us
All the vintage and antique items we sell are sympathetically repaired where necessary i.e. feet, minor repairs to missing parts using appropriate reclaimed or new materials. Items may show signs of historical marks or woodworm, they are all sold fit for good usable purpose. Any major defects will be noted in the description but obviously, we cannot state every minor flaw/detail
We describe all items to the best of our knowledge & ability and all items are sold as seen, more photos or reports can be given on request before purchasing online
As with all painted and wooden furniture, colour and pattern variation may occur on the website due to screen differences and is out of our control, Vintage Midcentury is not liable for any colour variations or differences, and a refund will not be given for this reason
As with most antique items may show signs of old/extinct woodworm activity, we treat them as a precaution where necessary but it’s impossible to be sure that everything is 100% woodworm free & can not guarantee. Obviously, we do not knowingly purchase furniture that has woodworm
The wood boring beetle or common furniture beetle can be relatively common in antique furniture and timber in period homes. Therefore, Vintage Midcentury cannot be held responsible for evidence or activity of woodworm or common furniture beetle and any damage caused to the furniture supplied or to surrounding furniture or building materials
Furniture that has been purchased and placed in the home that may show signs of movement due to central heating i.e. slight shrinkage, slight splitting, Vintage Midcentury will not be held responsible for something out of our control and a refund will not be accepted. We will do our utmost to help where we can
The customer acknowledges that items may be dangerous if improperly used. Vintage Midcentry is in no way liable.
