Oily Jack Service Disclaimer / Consumer Rights Act 2015
When you place a item of clothing to be re-waxed you are making a legally binding contract with Oily Jack England, which is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015. This law sets out what you are entitled to expect from every contract that involves the supply of a service, such as reproofing.
The key rights are:
- the service must be carried out with reasonable care and skill. A re-waxer must carry out the reproofing service to the same or similar standard to that which is considered acceptable within service industry.
- information about a trader or service is legally binding. Anything said or written down by a re-waxing (or someone acting on their behalf) about themselves or the re-waxing service forms part of the contract if you take the information into consideration before you agree the contract or if you make a decision about the service after the contract is made
- reasonable price to be paid for a service. You are only required to pay a 'reasonable' price for the re-waxing service that Oily Jack England provides unless the price (or the way in which the price is worked out) is fixed as part of the contract. The cost is usually fixed in advance with reproofing.
-
the service must be carried out within a reasonable time. Sometimes the contract will fix the time that a re-waxing service must be completed within. If the time has not been fixed then the service must be completed 'within a reasonable time.
Owners Risk Information
Problems can arise due to the fact that high value and designer items are not always tested against BS/ISO standards to ensure a reliable response to the re-waxing processes.
Although we will process your order with every care, we have to inform you that following detailed examination of your garment we are not entirely confident that it will re-wax to your satisfaction or ours, as we believe that there is a risk of:

Colour Loss / Migration

Degradation of surface effects
-
Damage to beads and or trimmings

De - lamination/shrinkage of interlinings

Will be documented and therefore not held responsible for any further damages caused by reproofing.
Correct services ordered for your type of wax jacket.
We will not be responsible for incorrect usage of wax used on your jacket. For example: If you placed an order for a "Standard Re-wax" service however you have sent us a dry wax jacket - due to large volume of orders we process, we will not be able to contact you directly to amend the order. At all times we follow our work directly from the order sheet to maintain our businesses timing logistics.
If you agree to continue with the service ordered, I therefore instruct you to accept that Oily Jack England will have no liability should your garment fail in any of the above areas, which have been brought to your attention. By continuing to go ahead with the service you accept that this is a waiver of your statutory rights and this waiver will only operate in relation to the garment / item specified in this disclaimer.
