TERMS & CONDITIONS
These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of the Strongs Country Store Ebay store and every order placed with Strongscountrystore.com. We’re passionate about our customers and making sure that you’re happy and so the following sets out the terms and conditions that apply to your order in what we hope is a straight-forward and customer-friendly way.
OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
When you place an order, you are offering to buy the product(s) from us, and we will send you an order acknowledgement. However, your order will only be accepted by us once your product(s) have been delivered to you. Until then we can decline to supply the goods – we will try to ensure that this never happens but we do, however, reserve the right not to fulfil your order for any reason if, for example; we have made an error on the price, the manufacturer cannot fulfil or similar or we are transitioning stock or simply can no longer obtain the product you need. In the event of these circumstances, we will refund you any price you’ve paid to us. Please note that we reserve the right not to accept an order for any reason and we won’t be liable to you or anyone else in these circumstances.
AVAILABILITY
We complete lots of deliveries a week, and so we have to rely on both a computer system and manual procedures for our stock control. Computers are better than people at this stuff but occasionally things can go wrong. If we get this wrong, we will tell you as soon as we know, and we will try to sort it out for you as quickly as possible via a refund, substitute or extended delivery (with your agreement).
OUR PRODUCTS
The images of the products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours and the latest packaging accurately, but we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the products. On rare occasions your product may vary slightly from the images on our website as manufacturers and our supply chain do have a habit of refreshing their packaging periodically as so the packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website. The image may also show only a particular size, and so be careful to choose the correct size if there are any variants or options available. With regards to our wood log and other fuel related products, there will be natural variations, but the parameters of each product’s specification are clearly shown on the website and may periodically be reviewed and amended by us.
DELIVERY
Strong’s Country Store uses a variety of delivery couriers to provide best service based upon weight, package dimensions and delivery location.
THINGS BEYOND OUR CONTROL
We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these terms that are caused by events outside our reasonable control. Such events include any act, non-occurrence, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and include, in particular (without limitation), the following:
• Strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action; or civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war; or

• Impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport; or
• Impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks
Our obligations under these terms are suspended for the period that such event continues, and we will have an extension of time to perform these obligations for the duration of that period. We will take reasonable steps to bring the event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these terms can be performed despite the event.

If you are a consumer then for products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days of receiving the goods and receive a refund.
You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions, such as restocking charges, and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods.
If you are ending a contract for a reason set out below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:

If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know.
