1.2 'The Company' delivery periods as published are given in good faith and are anticipated, based upon our distributors’ guidance. Delivery may occur sooner or later than the anticipated timescales.
1.3 The delivery period will commence from point of cleared payment, thus (a) next working day upon card-based orders, and (b) clearance of funds upon cheque-based orders.
1.4 Delivery periods are provided in working days (i.e.; 20 working days = 4 weeks), to account for the incidence of public holidays and that manufacturers transport typically operate weekdays only.
1.5 Deliveries are made weekdays only, typically during the hours of 7.00am to 7.00pm, however this can vary by distribution company. 'The Company' is not able to offer timed deliveries.

1.9 Should the delivery period extend beyond (whichever is longer) that published, subsequently notified or 30 days after the date of order 'The Customer' can cancel their order without penalty.
1.10 It is the responsibility of the 'The Customer' to provide free and unobstructed access for product delivery and subsequent usage. Any failed, abortive or return delivery charges shall be recovered from 'The Customer' at cost.

1.14 If 'The Customer' cannot be in attendance on delivery, prior written authority and acceptance of responsibility to leave the unattended product must to emailed to sales@lignaoutdoor.co.uk.
1.15 'The Company' will not bear any abortive costs arising from 'The Customer' due to a failed delivery.
1.16 "Expected", "Typical", "Anticipated" and "Estimated" delivery dates stated on 'The Company' website and associated literature do not imply guaranteed delivery dates. See also 1.17 Where a 'premium delivery service' is selected (not available on all products) it is the responsibility of 'The Customer' to provide working daytime contact telephone number(s). Failure to do so may result in delays to the expected delivery.
1.17 It is the duty of 'The Customer' to make themselves available to be contacted prior to delivery. Should 'The Company' or its chosen agent is unable to contact 'The Customer' the delivery of the order may be adversely affected.
