Zoot cannot guarantee that the exact item(s) will be available. If this is the case Zoot will advise you at the time of contact and endeavour to source similar items for you/ add you to a waiting list. 3. The listing of an item in the Available Used School Furniture section constitutes an offer to each participant to collect/ purchase the item at a price (or not) subsequently agreed between Zoot and the collector. Zoot may retract an item listed in the Available Used School Furniture section at any time. 4. Unless otherwise agreed with Zoot, the Collector is responsible for collecting or arranging delivery of any item collected/ purchased through the Available Used School Furniture section. The Collector/ Collector's Representative is responsible for ensuring that the items and quantities collected are accurate, as refunds will not be given on collection shortfalls. In the event that a collection address is revealed to the collector no refunds will be given under any circumstance. 5. Zoot Educational Furniture provides a venue for schools and educational establishments to dispose of unwanted school furniture and equipment and Collectors to negotiate the collection/ purchase of the used school furniture and equipment that they require. Zoot Educational Furniture is not the agent of and has not authority for either, for any purpose. 6. Compliance with Applicable Law You warrant that the donation, sale or distribution of the collected item(s) is not in breach of applicable law (including, where items are donated, sold or distributed internationally, the law of the destination country). This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that: - (a) any items sold or distributed are safe, (b) any items donated, sold or distributed bear a "CE" mark where required by applicable law, (c) any items donated, sold or distributed are appropriately packaged and labelled as required by applicable law, (d) any items donated, sold or distributed otherwise comply with all applicable law regarding their donation, sale or distribution. You will audit any of the products that you donate, sell or distribute to ensure ongoing compliance with this obligation. 7. You as the Collector are responsible for the collection of any used item(s) required. This is at your cost and risk. If required, Zoot Educational Furniture can recommend trusted and competitive transportation suppliers and obtain a quotation on your behalf. If the third-party quote was acceptable to you, you would deal directly with the third party. Zoot Educational Furniture is not the agent of and has not authority for any third-party supplier, for any purpose. Accordingly, any contract formed at the close of a negotiation/ sale is solely between the Collector and third-party supplier. The enforcement of any contractual obligations arising out of the completion of a transaction is the responsibility of persons party to that transaction. Zoot Educational Furniture is not obliged to mediate between parties or enforce or execute fulfilment of any contract. Collectors use the Site and the Services and/ or Third Party Services at their own risk. 8. To obtain a quotation on your behalf you authorise that Zoot Educational Furniture may give your contact details to the organisation(s) deemed suitable to carry out the required services for you.

Zoot Educational Furniture supplies images and descriptions obtained from third-party sources and items collected are as seen and described by the original party and no warranty express or implied is made on the part of Zoot Educational Furniture as to the accuracy of the information and no liability shall be incurred by Zoot for any inaccuracy, omission or error. It is the responsibility of the Collector to ensure that items/ services are in accord with their requirements, to ensure that the item(s) is(are) safe, and any items donated, sold or distributed otherwise comply with all applicable law in this country or abroad. 13. Zoot Educational Furniture reserve the right to charge fees to the Collector where expense has been incurred in carrying out the Collectors instructions and the Collector has subsequently cancelled. Most of this work is carried out specifically to your requirements and we therefore cannot accept cancellations or amendments except with our written consent and on our terms, which will indemnify Zoot against loss. Cancelled collections may incur up to a 100% fee where applicable.
14. Collections are time sensitive, involve several different parties and take time and much organisation to facilitate. If you agree to a collection and there are any items/ services for which you are being charged via an invoice, payment is expected by return and within 48 hours maximum of the invoice date. Invoices issued that remain unpaid and require a credit note to be raised will incur an administration fee (currently £10.00 plus VAT). Unmade collections are non-refundable. Due to the nature of this service shortfalls in quantities collected will not be credited. 15. Conditions relating specifically to Collectors should be read in addition to the above Terms and Conditions for the site in general. By using the Zoot Educational website and any of the available services you signify your agreement to be bound by these conditions.
Conditions relating specifically to Donators 1 If you donate your old, used, redundant or surplus items to Zoot to take advantage of the currently free used furniture disposal service, we will do our best to have your items collected. However, we cannot guarantee this on all occasions. Collection is dependent on several factors including what it is you need to dispose of, the time scale you have allowed for doing so, how much you need to dispose of, the condition of the items to be collected and whether or not Zoot can find a charity, foundation, organisation, company or individual that is willing to collect within any time constraints you may have. 2 Whilst Zoot have placed unwanted items within 24 hours we are not miracle workers and would recommend allowing as much time as possible to aid a successful collection, ideally informing us at the same time as you plan to buy new furniture. This gives you the best chance of a successful, cost-less and timely collection. (I.e. Old items will be collected after delivery of your new items ensuring you aren’t without crucial equipment.) 3 Donators Fees: This service is currently free of charge. Although Zoot Office Furniture does not currently charge Donators any fees to access the Site or use their services, it reserves its right to do so in the future. You do not have to buy new furniture and equipment from Zoot to take advantage of this free service, but we would request that where possible you include us in your quotation process. This has the potential to make you further savings and drives down the ‘Whole Cost of Life’ for all your purchases. Please contact Zoot for further details. 4 By listing an item in the Available Used School Furniture section: 4.1 Donators Obligations with respect to Listing Items You represent a warrant to prospective collectors that: (a) you are the true owner of the item or are properly authorised to dispose of the item by the true owner and are able to transfer good title to the item free from any third-party claims, liens or encumbrances; and (b) the listing is accurate, current and complete and is not misleading or otherwise deceptive; 4.2 Donators Warranties. Unless we have agreed with you in advance and in writing to the contrary, you represent and warrant to Zoot Educational Furniture that: (a) you are representing an office/ educational establishment that is established in the United Kingdom; (b) the items you are donating are physically located in the United Kingdom at the time of collection. In any event, you represent and warrant to Zoot Educational Furniture that the item(s) is(are) safe. 4.3 Compliance with Applicable Law You further warrant that the donation, collection, sale or distribution of the item is not in breach of applicable law. This responsibility includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that (a) any items collected are safe, (b) any items collected bear a "CE" mark where required by applicable law, (c) any items collected are appropriately packaged and labelled as required by applicable law, (d) any items collected otherwise comply with all applicable law regarding their condition at the point of collection. You will audit the products that you have donated on a regular basis whilst you wait for collection to ensure ongoing compliance with this obligation. You will also advise us of any age or other restrictions that apply to the collection of any products that you donate. 5 By agreeing to donate an item(s) to Zoot Educational Furniture and/ or the Available Used School Furniture section you authorise Zoot Educational Furniture to give your contact details to both the successful Collector and trusted third-party supplier (i.e. transport company, shipping container company), in order that the services can be provided. 6 To facilitate a collection Zoot Educational Furniture will require images, descriptions and quantities of the items to be collected. If you do submit material you warrant that the information and images supplied are accurate and representative of the items to be collected and you grant Zoot Educational Furniture and its affiliates a non-exclusive, royalty-free and fully sub licensable rights to use, reproduce, publish, distribute, and display such content as needed to facilitate a possible collection. No liability shall be incurred by Zoot for any inaccuracy, omission or error. 7 Zoot Educational Furniture provides a venue for schools and educational establishments to dispose of unwanted school furniture and equipment and endeavours to find Collectors for the used school furniture and equipment available within a time frame or deadline. Zoot Educational Furniture is not the agent of and has no authority for either, for any purpose. Zoot Educational Furniture is not obliged to mediate between parties or enforce or execute fulfilment of any contract. Donators use the Site and the Services at their own risk. 8 Zoot Educational Furniture will not be held responsible for any delay or failure of collection under these conditions including when the delay or failure arises from any cause or event which is beyond our reasonable control. 9 Zoot Educational Furniture reserve the right to charge fees to the Donator where expense has been incurred in carrying out the Donators instructions to make a collection and the Donator has subsequently cancelled or made substantial amendments to the original quantities to be collected. Most of this work is carried out to specifically cater to your requirements and deadlines, third party services will have been booked to facilitate collection and we therefore cannot accept cancellations or amendments except with our written consent and on our terms, which will indemnify Zoot against loss. Cancelled collections may therefore incur a fee where applicable. 10 Donators must not use the Services or the Site in the contravention of any applicable law nor permit or assist others to do so. 11 Conditions relating specifically to Donators should be read in conjunction with the above Terms and Conditions for the site in general. By using the Zoot Educational website and any of the available services you signify your agreement to be bound by these conditions. E&OE. Let common sense prevail. Contact Zoot. |
