CANCELLATIONS

In an effort to process and ship orders as quickly as possible,

order cancellations must be received within 48 hours of

purchase. After 48 hours, a 10% cancellation fee will apply

to all orders. If the order has already shipped, then a

restocking fee will apply.

Once an order has already shipped, it cannot be cancelled,

rerouted or redirected.

If you would like to return the item, you will need to follow

our "Standard Return Policy." Please do not refuse the

delivery of non-damaged goods. A delivery refusal may

complicate the return and refund process.

Special/Custom Orders

Special Orders are not returnable, no exceptions. If the

Special Order is cancelled by the customer during the

production or transportation - the customer's deposit of such

order may be forfeited.

DAMAGED MERCHANDISE

Damage Claim Filing

Items prior to being shipped out are thoroughly inspected by our quality control team. Because of this, furniture deliveries are received in good condition UNLESS damaged in transit. You have both a right AND a responsibility to inspect all items carefully during the delivery. Customers who sign for delivery and do not notate "Damage upon delivery" assume responsibility if merchandise is damaged. If the product itself appears

Page 4: TERMS & CONDITIONS - advancedebaydesigns.comterms & conditions mbw furniture ... reconsignment fee: $95 expedited shipping: see fee schedule protection plans: see fee schedule

severely damaged or it’s the wrong item you must take pictures of the packaging when being unloaded or while in the truck, you should submit the pictures and you may refuse the delivery. Please notify us of refusal so we can anticipate the return and send out a new item. Please make arrangements to prepare yourself and have help upon delivery of your merchandise as most deliveries consist of large and heavy items. At the time of delivery, open the items out of the packaging to check for damages in presence of the driver. If the truck driver is not willing to wait for you to inspect the actual item, you MUST write: "TRUCK DRIVER REFUSED TO WAIT" and “DAMAGED UPON ARRIVAL” on the delivery receipt. If the packaging or product has any damage or if there is any reason you are concerned with the delivery: If it is damaged, you MUST write “Product Damaged” on the tracking company's receipt called proof of delivery or the Bill Of Lading (BOL) prior to signing off. If anything is missing, you MUST list the missing items on the delivery receipt. You MUST retain applicable packaging materials, and notify us immediately. Take pictures of the damaged items immediately.

Page 5: TERMS & CONDITIONS - advancedebaydesigns.comterms & conditions mbw furniture ... reconsignment fee: $95 expedited shipping: see fee schedule protection plans: see fee schedule

In the event that damage is not noted on the BOL when signed "received in good condition", on the delivery receipt or the applicable packaging materials are not retained, would make it impossible to file a claim with the trucking company. In this case, it will be impossible for us to help out with any claim filed.

Damaged items must be noted on the freight/delivery receipt at the time of delivery acceptance. We recommend having a camera handy in-case you need to photograph packaging as well as the item(s). You must then contact us immediately so we can remedy the situation. Any damage must be reported to us within 24 hours.

ITEMS MUST BE RETURNED IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING - WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANY RETURN NOT IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING.

If an item is repairable, we will attempt to send out a repair tech to initiate the necessary repairs, if we feel the item(s) can be restored to new condition.

Please allow us 7-10 business days to arrange for this service.

and court costs) incurred by Seller to collect amounts owed by Buyer under the Contract.

(a) any of Buyer’s obligations to Seller under the Contract with Seller are not paid promptly when due;

(b) Buyer breaches any provision hereof, or of any other instrument or agreement in connection with

this or any other transaction; and (c) whenever Seller in good faith believes the prospect of payment or

performance is impaired or in good faith believes the Products are insecure. If Buyer is in default

hereunder, the indebtedness herein described and all other debts then owing by Buyer to Seller under

and/or repossess all or any item of the Products, disconnecting and separating all Products from any

other property and using all force necessary. Buyer expressly waives all further rights to possession of

the Products after payment default and all claims for injuries or damages suffered through or loss

not liable if any license or governmental authorization is delayed, denied, revoked, restricted or not

renewed and the Buyer shall not be relieved thereby of its obligations to pay the Seller for the

Page 13: TERMS & CONDITIONS - advancedebaydesigns.comterms & conditions mbw furniture ... reconsignment fee: $95 expedited shipping: see fee schedule protection plans: see fee schedule

Period is subject to the express condition precedent that the Products will be properly cared for and

does not

include ordinary wear and tear. The Warranty Period begins at the time of delivery of the Products.

Seller has no control over the use or suitability of the Products and therefore, does not guarantee the

use of the Products. Buyer is responsible for determining the suitability of the Products for its own use.

Buyer understands that Seller resells products manufactured and designed by others. Seller cannot,

therefore, expressly or impliedly warrant the Products’ merchantability, fitness for any particular

and/or that the Products do not infringe on third party intellectual property rights. EXCEPT AS

SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCTS COVERED BY THIS CONTRACT AND LIMITS

BUYER’S REMEDY TO THE REPAIR AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS DURING THE

WARRANTY PERIOD. THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTS

SUPPLIED HEREUNDER REMAINS WITH BUYER. No employee or agent of Seller is authorized to make any

warranty other than that which is specifically set forth herein. The provisions in any specification,

brochure or chart issued by Seller are descriptive only and are not warranties. Warranties provided

under this Contract are contingent upon the proper use of the Products in an appropriate environment.

This Limited Warranty does not cover: (1) damage to Products due to improper use or maintenance,

accident, neglect, misuse, fire, humidity, rising water, insect infestation, failure or fluctuation of

electrical power, improper voltage, damage resulting from accessories or attachments, or elements of

nature; (2) repair or replacement of expendable items; (3) routine cleaning and maintenance,

preventive maintenance; (4) refinishing or replacement of cosmetic parts; and (5) unauthorized

Products repairs, replacements, alterations or modifications. Seller shall have no obligation to Buyer

under this Limited Warranty or otherwise with respect to any claim that is based upon or arises out of

the use of the Products by Buyer in a manner that breaches this Contract or is materially inconsistent

with the Products.

10. Indemnification. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and its representatives, agents and

employees harmless from and against all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, judgments,

settlements, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees), fees, penalties, damages, liabilities and

obligations arising out of or relating to a breach of the Contract by Buyer, the negligent acts or

omissions of Buyer and any of its representatives, and Buyer’s improper use of the Products.

Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, however, Buyer shall not be liable or

responsible for, and shall not be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller for

liability, claims, lawsuits and demands (including all judgments and settlements made at arm’s length

and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and litigation expenses) caused by the sole negligence,

willful misconduct, crime or fraud of the Seller, its agents or employees.

(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), STATUTORY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, FOR ANY

INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, MULTIPLE, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SIMILAR

DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY AMOUNTS REPRESENTING LOSS OF PROFITS (DIRECT OR

INDIRECT), LOSS OF CONTRACTS, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF REVENUE,

LOSS OF USE, LOSS OR INEFFICIENT USE OF TIME, FACILITIES AND/OR EQUIPMENT, LOSS OF DATA, COSTS

OF REPLACEMENT GOODS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION LOSSES, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM USE OR

MALFUNCTION OF THE PRODUCTS, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE REGARDLESS OF

WHETHER SELLER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR CLAIMS OR RESULTED

FROM THE BREACH OF A FUNDAMENTAL TERM OF THIS CONTRACT AND EVEN WHEN OTHER REMEDIES

ARE IMPOSSIBLE OR INEFFECTIVE, ARISING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF THIS

CONTRACT OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH OR RELATED THERETO, OR THE USE OF

ANY PRODUCTS FURNISHED HEREUNDER. IN NO EVENT WILL THE TOTAL, AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF

SELLER UNDER THIS CONTRACT EXCEED THE CONTRACT PRICE FOR THE PRODUCTS FOR WHICH LIABILITY

IS CLAIMED. The parties agree that these limits of liability shall survive and continue in full force and

effect despite any termination or expiration of the Contract between Seller and Buyer. Any action by

Buyer against Seller including, without limitation, arbitration must be commenced within ninety (90)

days after the cause of action has accrued or shall forever be barred.

12. Force Majeure. SELLER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR DELAY ARISING OUT OF ITS

FAILURE TO PERFORM HEREUNDER DUE TO CAUSES BEYOND ITS REASONABLE CONTROL, INCLUDING,

WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTS OF GOD, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF BUYER, ACTS OF CIVIL OR MILITARY

AUTHORITY, FIRES, STRIKES, FLOODS, EPIDEMICS, QUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS, WAR, RIOTS, ACTS OF

TERRORISM, DELAYS IN TRANSPORTATION OR TRANSPORTATION EMBARGOES. IN THE EVENT OF SUCH

performance of their obligations under this Contract. Any dispute arising out of this Contract and not

resolved between the parties shall be referred to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in

subpoena documents, to the extent permitted under the Georgia Civil Practice Act for civil actions.

The parties understand and agree that this Contract is made, executed and will be partially performed

in the state of Georgia. All terms of this Contract, their force, effect, interpretation (including breach)

and dispute resolution procedures shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic

In the event that any claim or controversy, including any counterclaim, is determined not to be

subject to the mandatory binding arbitration clause, above, the parties hereby waive trial by jury, and

agree that any and all controversies of whatsoever nature and where so ever they may arise, may only

be brought in Fulton County, Georgia. By purchasing the Products and entering this Contract, Buyer

purposely avails itself of and consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in the Fulton County, Georgia

state courts for all purposes including, without limitation, confirming any arbitration award (“Award”).

Buyer agrees that the Fulton County, Georgia state courts are a convenient forum and covenants not

seek to transfer such action or proceeding to any other forum or jurisdiction, under the doctrine of

forum non convenient or otherwise. In the event that Buyer brings any action in any forum other than

JAMS in Atlanta, Georgia, or if JAMS be unavailable for whatsoever reason, in any court in any forum

other than in Fulton County, Georgia state courts, Buyer consents to the dismissal of said action. This

Section and its obligations shall survive any termination or completion of the Contract. The prevailing

party in any litigation or arbitration involving the parties shall be entitled to recover from the other

party all of its costs and reasonable attorneys and expert fees expended in the prosecution and/or

defense of such action. The term “prevailing party” means that party, as plaintiff or defendant

(claimant or respondent), who substantially prevails against the other party. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, if a written offer of compromise made by either party is not accepted by the other party

within thirty (30) days after receipt or the commencement of the trial or hearing, whichever is sooner,

and the party not accepting such offer fails to obtain a more favorable judgment (award), the non-

accepting party shall not be entitled to recover its costs of the litigation or arbitration and reasonable

attorney’s fees and costs (even if it is the prevailing party) and shall be obligated to pay the costs of

suit or arbitration and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the offering party.

14. Miscellaneous Provisions. This Contract constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto

with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes all contradictory agreements,

understandings, negotiations and discussions, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with

respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. This Contract may be modified only by written

instrument signed by the parties’ authorized representatives. No waiver of any of the provisions of this

Contract shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof, nor shall any such

waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly so provided. The terms of this

Contract that by their nature are reasonably intended by the parties to survive completion or

termination, including, without limitation, the terms relating to confidentiality, proprietary and

intellectual property rights, indemnification, dispute resolution and warranty, will survive the

expiration or termination of this Contract. Should any term, provision or Section of this Contract be

deemed void or unenforceable, it is the intent of the parties that the remaining provisions remain in

full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth or referred to herein, nothing herein expressed or

implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the Parties

and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Contract.
