Terms and Conditions


Age for attending courses

Our woodwork courses are designed primarily for adults unless otherwise clearly stated.  By agreeing to these terms and conditions you are confirming that you are at least 18 years old.


General course info

Your course fee covers tuition, tools and basic materials.  All tools and materials are provided by but you may bring your own tools along if you wish to.  All courses are beginner friendly, unless stated otherwise.


Bookings

Details of classes and workshops contained on the website may be subject to change without notice.  Oxford Furniture Makers reserves the right to cancel or move a class or workshop due to unforeseen circumstances including illness.


If for any reason we are forced to cancel a class we will notify you as soon as possible.  In this event we will be able to transfer your booking to another available class, or alternatively we will refund your course fee in full.


Once a booking is made you should immediately receive a confirmation email.


Joining instructions are emailed a few days before the course begins and will cover directions, times, what to wear and anything you need to bring.


Please note: email will be sent to the email address of the person who has made the booking. If you are buying a course for a someone else, we will leave it to you to pass on these details at your discretion.  Alternatively let us know at oxfordfurnituremakers@gmail.com who the participant is.


Cancellation policy

Oxford Furniture Makers reserves the right to cancel or postpone a course for any reason (for example, stormy weather, a pandemic, government direction or restrictions, insufficient numbers etc) and shall not be liable for any consequential loss that may be incurred.  We will notify you of a course cancellation or postponement as soon as possible.  Under these circumstances, a credit note will be offered against future course dates, subject to availability of places.


Up to 30 days prior to the course start date, students may swap their place to a later course (subject to availability) or cancel.  In the case of cancellations, a 30% cancellation fee will be subtracted from the course refund.  After this time, regrettably refunds will not be offered unless the cancelled place can be filled.  Similarly, unless the booked place can be filled, requests to transfer to alternative courses made less then 30 days prior to a course beginning will only be accepted subject to availability and at the discretion of Oxford Furniture Makers; the offer of alternative places will usually be made at short notice.  If you are booked on a course and do not turn up on the day then no refund or transfer will be given.  If you cancel after the 30-day cut-off point outlined above then 70% of the course fee will be refunded.


You can transfer your place on a course to a friend at any point before the course starts.  If you do wish to transfer your place to a friend, please notify Oxford Furniture Makers as soon as possible.


Booking courses for another person

Course places make great gifts. If you’d like to make a booking for a friend or loved on, simply make the booking as you normally would and then drop me a line once you’ve booked with the third party’s name and email address, so I can direct correspondence to the right place.


Insurance

All participants must have a valid health and personal insurance.

We also advise participants to arrange insurance for their own property and cancellation cover, in case participants have to cancel their course or leave early.  However this is not compulsory for attending the course.

Participants will be given a Health and Safety introduction at the beginning of each course.

By booking the course, participants agree to obey the health and safety instructions.

By booking the course, participants agree that they operate at the workshop at their own risk.
