2. Trade Benefits & Discount Structure
- Net Pricing: Approved members receive a 10% discount on all full-priced merchandise.
- Exclusions: Trade discounts cannot be combined with other offers, seasonal promotions, or clearance items. Discounts do not apply to gift cards or shipping/delivery fees.
- Professional Intent: Trade benefits are strictly for professional client projects. Use of the program for personal purchases or third parties (friends/family) may result in account suspension or termination.
3. Items "On Approval" (Memo Policy)
We offer an "On Approval" service to assist with on-site styling and client presentations.
- Security: A valid credit card must be kept on file. While no charges are processed initially, a pre-authorization may be required to secure the inventory.
- Duration: Items must be returned within 48 hours. On the morning of the 3rd day, the card on file will be charged in full. Once charged, the transaction is considered a Final Sale and is no longer eligible for return or credit.
- Extensions: Requests for extensions are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed.
- Condition: Items must be returned in their original, pristine condition. If an item is returned damaged, soiled, or altered in any way, the card on file will be charged the full trade price.
4. Ordering & Payment
- Pro Forma Terms: All orders must be paid in full at the time of purchase. Work on custom orders will not commence until payment has cleared in full.
- Payment Methods: We accept major credit and debit cards. To maintain program integrity, the name on the payment method must match the business name or the authorized designer on file.
5. Custom Orders, Returns, & Cancellations
- Custom & Made-to-Order: All custom furniture, upholstery, and bespoke items are Final Sale. We cannot accept returns, exchanges, or cancellations once the order is placed.
