TERMS + CONDITIONS

Welcome to woodenbowl.co.nz, the online home of Gavin Brunton Woodturner.

Everything you see here reflects my work as an independent woodturner and artist, from the individual pieces I create to the stories behind the timber. By using this website or making a purchase, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions.

General use of this website

  • All content on this website, including photographs, written material and artwork, belongs to Gavin Brunton unless otherwise stated.

Products and orders

  • All prices are listed in New Zealand Dollars (NZD). Prices may change from time to time without notice.
  • Every piece of my work is individually made, so natural variations in colour, grain, shape and character are to be expected. These are part of what makes each piece unique.
  • Once you place an order, you'll receive an email confirmation with the details of your purchase.
  • Your order is considered confirmed once payment has been received in full.
  • While I take care to ensure all product descriptions, photographs and prices are accurate, occasional errors can happen. If something isn't quite right, I'll get in touch to discuss the options before proceeding with your order.

Shipping and delivery

  • I take great care to wrap and package every piece securely, making sure it's well protected for its journey. I also have shipping insurance for added peace of mind, should anything happen while your purchase is in transit.
  • Estimated delivery times and further shipping information can be found on my Shipping page.
  • Once an order has been dispatched, delivery is in the hands of the courier. While I'll always do my best to help resolve any delivery issues, delays caused by couriers, customs or other external factors are outside my direct control.
  • For international orders, any applicable customs duties, import taxes or other charges are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Looking after your purchase and liability

My wooden bowls and vessels are made to be enjoyed, whether as functional pieces for everyday use or as individual works of art.

Like any natural timber product, they benefit from a little care and consideration. Prolonged soaking, extreme heat and inappropriate use can cause damage or affect the timber over time.

I included care instructions and helpful advice in the FAQ section of my website, including recommendations on how to look after your wooden bowl and what to avoid.

I take care in making and describing every piece, but cannot accept responsibility for damage resulting from misuse, neglect or failure to follow the recommended care instructions.

Privacy

I respect your privacy and understand the importance of keeping your personal information secure.

Any personal details you provide when placing an order or contacting me will be used to process your purchase, arrange delivery and communicate with you about your order.

Where necessary, relevant information may be shared with trusted service providers involved in processing payments and delivering your purchase. Your information will not be sold or used for unrelated marketing purposes.

Get in touch

If you have any questions about these Terms and Conditions, your purchase or anything else on the website, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I'm always happy to help.
