Term & Conditions

TERMS AND CONDITIONS By accessing and using 2 Birds Furniture Inc service, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. Our products are custom made from raw materials specifically for your order. We dedicate specific materials and labour to your order. You pay for that commitmnet when you order. Because of our unique business model, we have outlined our specific polices below about characteristics, cancellation and return policies. We want to ensure that your experience and product is everything that you are expecting. PRODUCTION TIMES AND EXPECTATIONS Remember that since almost everything we make is from raw materials and we set a high-quality standard, all production times are estimates and not a guarantee. PRODUCT CHARACTERISTIC Unlike modern materials reclaimed wood is subject to a variable amount of changes. Each species displays its own characteristics, colours and grain patterns. As the material ages and is subject to seasonal weather changes it takes on a life of its own and each piece changes according to its own pore structure and from which area of the tree it came from. This guarantees that each piece of wood selected for your product is and will be different and each piece will take finishes differently. Reclaimed wood is a living thing and may continue to change as it adjusts to its new environment. 2 Birds Furniture Inc. has taken all the necessary precautions to avoid this, however, this will still occur as wood expands and contracts in response to seasonal changes in temperature and humidity. 2 Birds Furniture Inc. does not accept responsibility for any changes in the wood after it has been delivered to your premises. The company reserves the right to changes these conditions from time to time as they see fit. FINISH INFORMATION Reclaimed wood when finished can alter drastically and the inconsistent pore structure of the materials can cause finishes to penetrate the materials at different rate adding to the perfectly imperfect look of reclaimed wood. All reclaimed woods have different characteristics and some species and finish combinations will accentuate the woods natural defects. Shades of black, white and even green may appear in the finished product. Long term exposure to ultraviolet light will change the finish on the product and age the finish. Our finishes contain inhibitors to slow the process but do not completely prevent these aging defects. Long term exposure to moisture or humidity will alter to finish and leave white marks and or permanent damage to the product. Because all of our finishes are hand done, we cannot guarantee we will produce the identical product as seen in our showroom, online or on our social media platforms. Your product will likely vary from previous iterations of a similar product. It is important that you understand the characteristics of wood, finishes and applications that you have selected as these characteristics are not a reason for warranty work. IMPORTANT CARE INSTRUCTIONS Your new product requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking perfectly imperfect. Be careful using any product containing silicone or wax on your finished product. Avoid abrasive cleaners and sponges or any product which may scratch or damage the finish coat. You may use a Pledge or wood cleaner however over time this will alter the finish as it ages.
