5. Any changes made after the order is placed will be at your expense.

Designs & Images

1. We reserve the right to improve, alter or modify our designs without prior notification.
2. Colours shown are intended as a guide only.
3. All product descriptions are correct at time of publication.

Drawings

If you like our work then you’ve probably already decided that you would like us to make your project for you. Unfortunately, we’ve had some bad experiences with some unscrupulous people in the past, who asked us to design things for them and then these drawings were taken and fabricated elsewhere. As you would appreciate many hours go into designing quality pieces and this has caused us considerable loss. As such we now charge a design fee, but the good news is that this is then reimbursed when you place your order with us.

1. Drawings are presented as two dimensional concept sketches only. Farmweld does not have three dimensional CAD drawing facilities.
2. Due to the hand-made nature of the item, there may be some variation to the finished product.
3. All drawings are supplied as drawn from the front of the item unless otherwise indicated, e.g. right or left-hand hinging on gates referred to in any drawings is as viewed from the outside (front) of the property.
4. Some componentry/designs have a back and front face, e.g. flowers and leaf motifs.
5. In some cases modifications may need to be made to the design during the manufacturing process. This is generally because drawings are limited and it is impossible to foresee some issues, e.g. relating to the thicknesses and malleability of steel.
6. We reserve the right to improve, alter or modify our designs without prior notification.
7. Copyright of designs remain the property of AJ & PA Hood, t/a Farmweld and are not transferable.

Design Fees

1. A design fee will be charged for any drawings and custom design work. In the instance of more complex designs, quotes cannot be done without drawings.
2. A drawing fee is non refundable and covers the cost of concept drawings and up to two revisions of any one design.
3. The design fee will be reimbursed against your order.
4. Further amendments will incur further cost based on an hourly rate.
5. Design fees must be paid in full prior to any drawings being done.

Pricing/Quotes

1. All prices/quotes are inclusive of 10% GST.
2. Quotes for products are valid for 14 days.

2. Furthermore you agree to fully indemnify and hold harmless us and our employees and agents against all expenses, losses, claims, damages and costs (on a full indemnity basis) incurred by or awarded against us arising directly or indirectly out of any breach of these terms and conditions or howsoever arising, including any damage to a third party (including the infringement of a third party’s rights caused by your provision to us of works) or to property.

1. Powder coat is a decorative finish for indoor and outdoor use. It gives the metal some protection, however it is not a corrosion protection in its own right.
2. Colours shown are intended as a guide only.
3. Steel items are treated with a zinc rich primer prior to power coating to guard against corrosion. The products are then powder coated to make the surface resistant and suitable for use in exterior environments.
4. Minor rust spots which appear in areas such as welded joins and tight corners do not affect the structural integrity of the product. These are not covered by the warranty.
5. Whilst every care is taken to provide the most suitable finish according to the use and the environment the product will be subjected to, Farmweld cannot guarantee this decorative finish against rust, scratching, scuffing, chipping or fading and as a result of use in highly corrosive environments such as seafront and/or highly chlorinated environments.
6. When choosing a colour for outdoor use please select a suitable UV stable choice, as the product is not warranted against natural fading. To ensure longevity of this finish please refer to the care and maintenance.

1. Corrosion/rust occurs naturally on steel and as such is not covered by warranty.
2. Rust stains developing on painted or powder coated products will not affect the integrity of the item.
3. Unpainted items, other than Corten steel which develops a stabilised outer shell of rust, should be coated with an inhibitor such as Penetrol to inhibit further corrosion of the item.
4. Items used in confined areas within a chlorinated environment, high humidity and/or in a close location to marine conditions will be prone to developing corrosion at a much faster rate.
5. In agreeing to purchase a product from Farmweld you acknowledge and accept that continued exposure of the product will continue the rusting process. Farmweld therefore disclaims and excludes any and all liability for any claim, loss or damages that may arise as a consequence of, or caused by, rust development, including any loss or damage to other property caused by corrosion or rust stains on or around the product.
6. The term ‘raw’ steel refers to the fact that it is as supplied by the steel manufacturer and has not been prepared, painted or sandblasted after fabrication. It is as it comes “off the bench” straight after welding and fabrication. This may mean that the steel is rusty, pre-galvanised, painted or a combination thereof.
7. You should refer to our Care & Maintenance instructions.

1. If we create a custom product, designed solely by us, or in consultation with your or to a design provided by, or on behalf of you, we give no warranty or guarantee as to the suitability, performance or lawfulness of the design.
2. Our obligations are limited to creating the custom product in accordance with the specifications of the design and/or brief.
3. Unless otherwise agreed copyright remains the property of Farmweld.

1. The structural workmanship of products made by Farmweld is guaranteed for a period of 12 months in domestic situations, or 3 months in commercial settings.
2. Farmweld will not accept responsibility in any way for damage caused by misuse, abuse, incorrect installation or accident. Any such damage constitutes a breach of the warranty contract.
3. This warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear.
4. Farmweld shall not be liable for, and specifically excludes, any claims by any event or matter beyond its control, caused directly or indirectly, including incidental, consequential or contingent damages suffered as a result of the use of the product or a breach of this warranty either written or implied.

Custom Orders

Items manufactured to order are deemed to be ‘custom made’. Please be aware that under Consumer Law custom made products cannot be returned or exchanged unless they are faulty.

Farmweld will repair or replace items if:

1. Your goods are damaged in transit and you have declined transit insurance. As transfer of title occurs on payment in full of the items, shipping is at your own risk. In declining insurance you accept full liability for loss or damage occurring as a result of or during transit, including that to your own or a third parties property.
2. Your goods are damaged in transit and you have taken out transit insurance. If we arrange delivery on your behalf, we instruct the couriers to call you so that you can make arrangements for delivery. You must be present to inspect your goods before signing for them as your signature may void the insurance. You are offered transit insurance and if you take up this option we cannot under any circumstance exchange or repair an item that you have signed for as your signature on the delivery paperwork means you are accepting the goods no matter what condition they arrive in. In order that we may address the matter with our transport supplier and the insurance company if need be, please take the time to check your items upon their arrival. If they are damaged, please take digital photos of the item and the damage and contact Farmweld within 24 hours of the goods arriving.
3. Your goods have a structural fault/flaw or damage. In the unlikely event that you detect a structural fault with your item within 12 months of date of despatch, please notify us as soon as possible. In order to verify your claim, we will require you to provide photographic evidence of the fault or damage, so that we can assess the claim. It is a condition of sale that in the event that your item is in need of repair or replacement under this warranty, the customer agrees to pay for transport and shipping costs to and from Farmweld’s workshop. Damage to paintwork is excluded from warranty. Instructions for repairing paintwork can be found HERE.
4. The wrong item has been shipped to you. If the item differs to the description on your invoice and the wrong item has been shipped to you, contact Farmweld immediately to enable us to arrange a replacement item to be shipped to you and collection of the incorrect item.
   NOTE: if you did not check your invoice and pick up and notify Farmweld of any error or omission on the invoice, then any replacements will be at your cost as Farmweld made as described on the invoice as submitted to you.
5. Returns. Please ensure that the item is re-packaged to minimise damage. Items must be returned in good condition.You will not incur any additional costs if the item does not match the invoice. Your replacement item will be shipped to you as quickly as possible within the normal delivery time frame for that item.
   1. You must not use or otherwise deal with the wrong item if you know, or ought reasonably to know, that it is the wrong item.
   2. If you do use it, you will be deemed to have accepted it as a suitable, and accepted, alternative or replacement to the item ordered.
   3. Items must be packaged in materials and to a standard affording protection equal to or better than that in which the items arrived to minimise damage.

This Agreement is governed by and must be construed in accordance with the laws in force in South Australia. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of South Australia and the Commonwealth of Australia in respect to all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, its performance or subject matter.
