Direct Supplier Connection, Connection Service or [Supplier] Quote Acceptance: A method of purchase in which the Buyer is directly connected with the Supplier via the Wooduchoose platform to obtain quotes, communicate, and agree on the terms of purchase. Wooduchoose’s role is limited to facilitating initial contact, with no further involvement in the transaction after connection.

Methods of Purchase

Wooduchoose offers two primary methods for purchasing goods through its platform: the Direct Supplier Connection and the Facilitated Purchase. Each method involves a different level of Wooduchoose involvement and distinct responsibilities for both Buyers and Suppliers. The following sections outline each method in detail. Sometimes the Buyer may recieve a 'mix' of quotes for the same job/offering, where suppliers have chosen to offer direct purchase (Direct Supplier Connection) or offered to sell via Wooduchoose (Facilitaed Purchase), each, individual supplier offering, clearing states the method of purchase and all subsequent steps flag the method in use.

Pricing:

Although the Woooduchoose makes every effort to ensure that published prices and quotes are as accurate as possible, Wooduchoose reserves the right to refuse the sale of mispriced or misquoted goods.

Where 'estimated prices' are shown these are strictly for guidance purposes only. These figures do not form any part of the sale/transaction process. It is only once fixed prices are obtained and a purchase is made that any terms and conditions regarding prices apply. It is recommended that the Buyer does not rely on any estimated prices as the final product(s) price may vary once the fixed prices are obtained. 

In the case of all products sold, unless the seller expressly provides otherwise the price payable by the Buyer for each delivery shall be the seller’s current price at the date of despatch.

The Wooduchoose reserves the right by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery to increase the price of the product/products to reflect any increase in the cost to the seller which is due to any factor beyond the control of the seller.

As many of the prices shown are created in real time they are only valid at the time of creation. The prices may vary at any time due to the dynamic nature of the pricing method. The price is fixed and agreed once the Buyer places the order, although the Wooduchoose reserves the right to cancel and offer a full refund within 7 days if, for any reason, the order cannot be fulfilled by the Wooduchoose or the Supplier.

Direct Supplier Connection

The Direct Supplier Connection, also referred to as the Connection Service or [Supplier] Quote Acceptance, is a method by which Wooduchoose enables Buyers to connect directly with Suppliers. Through this service, Buyers can request and compare quotes, communicate with Suppliers regarding specifications, and ultimately decide on a suitable Supplier for their needs.

1. Process: Buyers request quotes from Suppliers based on their requirements. Suppliers respond with quotes, and the Buyer may choose to accept a quote.
2. Responsibilities: Once connected, the Buyer and Supplier are solely responsible for all aspects of the transaction, including negotiating terms, ensuring product quality, and fulfilling delivery. Wooduchoose has no further involvement after the initial connection and bears no liability for any issues arising from the transaction.
3. Payment: Payments are made directly between the Buyer and Supplier. Wooduchoose does not process payments in this method and assumes no responsibility for payment disputes or financial transactions.
4. Liability Disclaimer: Wooduchoose acts only as an introducer in the Direct Supplier Connection method. All risks, warranties, and responsibilities rest with the Buyer and Supplier after the initial connection.

Facilitated Purchase

The Facilitated Purchase method is where Wooduchoose acts as the intermediary seller, coordinating the order and purchase process between the Buyer and the Supplier. In this method, Wooduchoose is responsible for handling the transaction and order fulfillment with the Supplier on behalf of the Buyer.

1. Process: Buyers select their products, confirm specifications, and complete their order through Wooduchoose. Wooduchoose then coordinates with the Supplier to manufacture and deliver the goods to the Buyer.
2. Responsibilities: Wooduchoose oversees order processing and is responsible for ensuring the Supplier fulfills the order as specified. However, the Supplier remains responsible for the quality, manufacture of the goods, delivery and fulfillment.
3. Payment: Payments are made directly to Wooduchoose, which manages the funds and coordinates payment to the Supplier. All payment terms outlined in the Payment Terms section apply.
4. Liability Disclaimer: While Wooduchoose coordinates the order and delivery process, it is not responsible for product defects, quality, or fitness for purpose. These responsibilities remain with the Supplier, as detailed in the Responsibilities and Liabilities section.

This section outlines the respective responsibilities of Wooduchoose, the Buyer, and the Supplier/Manufacturer across the different methods of purchase.

Any issues must be communicated directly to the Supplier (in the case of a Direct Supplier Connection) or to Wooduchoose (in the case of a Facilitated Purchase) promptly after receipt (within 24 hours).

2. Order Fulfillment: The Supplier must manufacture and deliver the goods as per the terms agreed with the Buyer or Wooduchoose (in the case of a Facilitated Purchase). Timely delivery and adherence to specifications are expected for all orders.
3. Handling of Disputes: For Direct Supplier Connections, the Supplier must address any issues, discrepancies, or disputes directly with the Buyer. For Facilitated Purchases, any issues must be coordinated with Wooduchoose if they pertain to the order’s processing or delivery.

Liability Disclaimer

Under no circumstances will Wooduchoose be liable for any indirect or consequential losses.

Payment Terms

Payment terms and conditions vary depending on the method of purchase chosen by the Buyer. Below are the details for each method, including when payments are due, who processes them, and Wooduchoose's role in each transaction.

Funds must be cleared before the order can be processed and commissioned with the Supplier. Please note the method of payments offered vary based on job type and value. These are clearly outlined at the quote stage or product page. 
3. Cancellation Policy: As the products for sale by the Seller are bespoke the Seller is therefore exempt from the trading standards distance selling regulations. Therefore, once the Buyer places an order with the seller; 100% of the payment is required and no refund will be provided if the Buyer cancels the order. Unless cancellation is received and acknowledged during the same working day in which the order is placed.

However, the Seller will offer a refund (where possible) subject to charging a reasonable fee for the work already performed on the cancelled order, as well as a reasonable administration fee. Therefore, any remaining funds after this assessment will be refunded to the Buyer.
