2 TERMS OF SALE
By placing an order you are offering to purchase a product on and subject to the following terms and conditions. All orders are subject to availability and confirmation of the order price.
Dispatch times may vary according to availability and subject to any delays resulting from postal delays or Force Majeure for which we will not be responsible.
In order to contract with ORMF you must be over 18 years of age and possess a valid credit or debit card issued by a bank acceptable to us. ORMF retains the right to refuse any request made by you. If your order is accepted we will inform you by email and we will confirm the identity of the party which you have contracted with. This will usually be ORMF or may in some cases be a third party. Where a contract is made with a third party ORMF is not acting as either agent or principal and the contract is made between yourself and that third party and will be subject to the terms of sale which they supply you. When placing an order you undertake that all details you provide to us are true and accurate, that you are an authorised user of the credit or debit card used to place your order and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the goods. The cost of foreign products and services may fluctuate. All prices advertised are subject to such changes.
(a) Our Contract
When you place an order, you will receive an acknowledgement e-mail confirming receipt of your order: this email will only be an acknowledgement and will not constitute acceptance of your order. A contract between us will not be formed until we send you confirmation by e-mail that the goods which you ordered have been dispatched to you. Only those goods listed in the confirmation e-mail sent at the time of dispatch will be included in the contract formed.
(b) Pricing and Availability
Whilst we try and ensure that all details, descriptions and prices which appear on this Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of any goods which you have ordered we will inform you of this as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
Delivery costs will be charged in addition; such additional charges are clearly displayed where applicable and included in the ‘Total Cost’.
(c) Payment
Upon receiving your order we carry out a standard authorisation check on your payment card to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the transaction. Your card will be debited upon authorisation being received. The monies received upon the debiting of your card shall be treated as a deposit against the value of the goods you wish to purchase. Once the goods have been despatched and you have been sent a confirmation email the monies paid as a deposit shall be used as consideration for the value of goods you have purchased as listed in the confirmation email.
Payment of the price and VAT and any other applicable costs shall be due immediately upon completion of the online sale, unless the Seller agrees that payment may be made upon collection at one of the shop branches.
(d) Cancellation
Your right to cancel an online order
Consumer Contracts Regulations apply to cancellations. You have the right to cancel up to 14 days after receiving your item. If you choose to cancel your order our preference is that you return it to us in the original UNOPENED packaging. This is because our products are oils and liquids and are packaged specifically by us to be protected. If you choose to open and repackage the item you will be responsible for any damage to the item during transit and that will be reflected in the refund. You are responsible for return postage and we recommend that you get a proof of postage or send it back signed-for. Your refund will not be allocated until we receive the item, and we have 14 days from that point to make the refund. To cancel you must contact us in writing (we will accept email to oakroadsarah@gmail.com).
If you have opened the packaging and then decided you no longer want the product that is considered a return. We do not accept returns for mis-ordered or unwanted items that are not damaged. In the unfortunate event that an item arrives damaged in transit you have 24hrs to send us photographic evidence in order for us to send you a replacement.
3 DESCRIPTION
Any description given or applied to the Goods is given by way of identification only and the use of such description shall not constitute a sale by description. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer hereby affirms that it does not in any way rely on any description when entering into the contract.
4 SAMPLE
Where a sample of the Goods is shown to and inspected by the Buyer, the parties hereto accept that such a sample is so shown and inspected for the sole purpose of enabling the Buyer to judge for itself the quality of the bulk, and not so as to constitute a sale by sample
5 DELIVERY
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the address specified by the Buyer. The Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. Any date of delivery offered by the Seller is an estimate only.

If the Seller is unable to deliver the Goods for reasons beyond its control, then the Seller shall be entitled to place the Goods in storage until such times as delivery may be affected and the Buyer shall be liable for any expense associated with such storage
The Buyer shall be entitled to replacement Goods where the Goods have been damaged during transportation. The Buyer must notify the Seller of the damage within 24 hours of delivery and provide photographic time stamped evidence.
6 RISK
Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the moment the Goods are dispatched from the Seller`s premises. Where the Buyer chooses to collect the Goods itself, risk will pass when the Goods are entrusted to it or set aside for its collection, whichever happens first.

Title in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has been paid in full for the Goods.

- the defect being due to the faulty design, materials or workmanship of the Seller.
Any Goods to be repaired or replaced shall be returned to the Seller at the Buyer’s expense, if so requested by the Seller.
