6.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions and graphical representations of Firewood available from Us correspond to the actual Firewood. Please note, however, the following:
6.1.1 Images of Firewood are for illustrative purposes only. There may be slight variations in colour between the image of a product and the actual product sold due to differences in computer displays and lighting conditions;
6.1.2 Images and/or descriptions of packaging are for illustrative purposes only, the actual packaging of Firewood may vary; and
6.1.3 Due to the nature of the Firewood sold through Our Site, there may be variance in the colour, size, dimensions and measurements between the actual Firewood and the description.
6.1.4 Our product line consists of a variety of firewood including hardwoods such as alder, maple, birch, cherry, elm), mixed oak, ash and silver birch. Proportions may vary.
6.1.5 Whilst we season our logs, kiln dry them, thereby removing all moisture content, some whitish grey marks of mould may be present on the wood. This is not the evidence of any live mould but merely markings on the wood.
6.1.6 Occasionally there is some sparking and spitting within the wood during burning. Additionally, as with all dense hardwoods, initially fire may be hard to start.
6.1.7 Firewood by its very nature is an imprecise product. We do everything we can to ensure our product meets and exceeds the above specification, nevertheless a tolerance of 4-5% should be applied to all of the specifications indicated in all our marketing literature.
6.2 Please note that sub-Clause 6.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor variations of the correct Firewood, not to different Firewood altogether. Please refer to Clause 10 if you receive incorrect Firewood (i.e. Firewood that are not as described).
