Bicycle Barns Terms and Conditions
Bicycle Barns, copyright © 2024, are products and a brand from Oxford Design Curve Ltd. Oxford Design Curve can amend these terms and conditions when and as applicable.
Bicycle Barns are made and installed for the sole purpose of storing and locking bicycles. They are not intended for any other use. For example they must not be sat on or climbed over. When purchasing a Bicycle Barn you are agreeing to use the structure for its intended purpose. Oxford Design Curve Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damage, fault or injury if the Bicycle Barn has not been used correctly or as intended.
1 - General
1.a. We take every care in the content of this website, in particular, to ensure that prices are correct at the time of publishing and that all products have been fairly described. However, please note the following:
1.b. Colour and appearance on the Bicycle Barns website will vary according to the screen type and settings of your device. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the appearance or colours of the products shown, exactly reproduce the appearance or colours of the products themselves.
1.c. The price you pay is the price quoted on all correspondence and we aim to keep the prices on the website up to date.
1.d. We will take all reasonable care to ensure that all product descriptions on the website are correct at the time when this information was first entered. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the description of our products. We are unable to guarantee that these will exactly match the product delivered.
1.e. Packaging may vary from that described. This is because we aim to use recycled materials where possible.
1.f. We reserve the right to alter the design of products to ensure that we continuously improve our goods without prior warning.
1.g. Natural untreated kiln dried Oak (Green Oak) weathers to a silvery grey over a long period of time. During this process the dark tannins within the wood are released and will flow towards the ground producing streaks on the wood. Natural oak will also shrink marginally over time, this can produce minor distortions in the wood and also cracks that follow the grain, this is also a natural process which is accommodated within the design.
1.h. If Oxford Design Curve are unhappy about the quality of the longer oak beams, we may decide to replace these with taninised FSC wood in order for the structure to maintain its strength and integrity.
1.i. The metal feet are handmade by a blacksmith. Every effort is made to ensure that there are no sharp edges or burrs, however if you are handling the metal feet please make sure that you are wearing protective gloves.
1.j. If you have opted for a sedum roof, note that the sedum is heavy, particularly when wet and should be lifted by 2 people.
1.k. The Sedum will also require watering during dry weather, especially if your Bicycle Barn roof faces towards the south.
1.l. The 100% recycled plastic material used for the curved ribs and roof expands and contracts. The roof is designed to float within the grooves of the ribs to allow for this. Some rippling may occur in extremely hot weather, but the roof will then maintain its shape once it cools.
2 – Payment
2.a. Payment is expected to be made by bank transfer only. We use an ethical bank, Triodos, and these details are clearly marked on all invoices.
2.b. Once an order has been agreed by phone, text or email then an invoice will be issued. 50% payment will be required as a deposit and then 50% payment on completion of work or delivery.
2.c. All goods will remain the property of Oxford Design Curve Ltd until paid for in full. Should we have to recover our goods, any amounts paid up until that point would be non-refundable and any incurred costs will be the responsibility of the customer.

4.b. Delivery times vary depending on the product and availability. When placing your order we estimate a delivery time and lead times cannot be guaranteed.
4.c. Whilst all care is taken to deliver on a date that is agreed, it must be remembered that this will be in the hands of the delivery company.
