By placing an order with Allred Collaborative ("Allred Collaborative or "AC"), the customer (the “Customer”) agrees to be bound by these Terms of Sale.

    1.  Orders

    Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Allred Collaborative, these Terms of Sale are and will be the sole terms and conditions that govern any order submitted by the Customer and accepted by Allred Collaborative (the “Order”). No term, provision, or condition stated in an Order, quote, or elsewhere will be binding upon Allred Collaborative if such term, provision, or condition conflicts, is inconsistent with, or is in addition to these Terms of Sale, unless expressly approved in writing by Allred Collaborative. Orders can be placed online, by phone, or email. Allred Collaborative is not required to accept an Order submitted by the Customer and reserves the right to require a minimum order. 

    1.  Order Acknowledgment

    Upon Customer’s submission of an Order, acceptance of a quote, or other request for Allred Collaborative to fulfill an Order, Allred Collaborative will send Customer an order confirmation, or other order acknowledgment (“Order Acknowledgment”), which constitutes Allred Collaborative’s initial acceptance of the Order. 

    1.  Payment
    • Payment Method:
      Allred Collaborative accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, ACH, Wire, Apple Pay, PayPal, ShopPay and written checks from U.S. Banks.
    • Payment Due Date:
      As a general rule, Orders (including purchase price and delivery, shipping and transportation charges) have to be paid in full when placed if the order is in stock. For Made-to-Order items a 50% deposit and the balance and shipping charges are paid prior to shipping. At Allred Collaborative’s discretion, exceptions may apply to this rule.
    • Cabinetry Payment Terms:

    A 50% deposit is required for custom Cabinetry and Design Services at point of signing Contract; the remaining balance is due at least 2 weeks before anticipated shipment of product from the manufacturer. 100% payment is due for all other products prior to ordering.  Juniper House gladly accepts credit card payments on Cabinetry and Design Services, however, charges a 3% convenience fee for this service. 

    1.  Delivery Address

    It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the delivery address information is correct.

    If a change of Customer’s delivery address is required after Order placement, please contact Allred Collaborative’s Customer Service and Allred Collaborative will use reasonable efforts to direct the delivery to the correct delivery address. Any fees that occur due to such changes of delivery address is the responsibility of the Customer. 

    1.  Manufacturing, Shipping and Delivery
    • Lead Time

    Standard lead time from date of order to delivery to local warehouse is dependent on specific manufacturer and product. Allred Collaborative is not responsible for any delays whether due to manufacture, delivery companies and/or force majeure. Out-of-stock + special orders shall be shipped as soon as practical, subject to the production and delivery schedule of the Manufacturer and Customer’s compliance with the payment terms. 

    • Shipping

    JH is happy to arrange shipping for all orders via one of our pre-qualified carriers. Charges for this service are billed proforma and will appear on the final balance due invoice. Please be advised clients may incur a sale tax liability depending on where the items are to be delivered. 

    Delivery of products is dependent upon the availability of products by manufacturer.

    AC manufacturers ship orders through third-party transport companies and shipments are bound by the policies of said company. JH will communicate an ESTIMATED delivery date as provided by manufacturers.

    Distributor will use its best judgment as to shipment routing unless client specifically requests a shipment routing prior to ordering product. No rebate shall be issued should a cheaper method be found.

    Clients may make their own shipping arrangements but need to notify AC of all details within 1 week after date of purchase. All product is shipped via a Bill of Lading (BOL) and FOB from the manufacturer warehouse.

    • Delivery

    Once an order has shipped, the delivery company contacts clients to schedule a date and window of time for product delivery. Failure to schedule an appointment within 48 hours may result in storage fees and/or return shipment and redelivery costs, for which clients will be responsible (minimum charges are typically $150). 

    All deliveries are curbside ONLY, unless otherwise arranged and paid in full at time of product purchase.  As such, client must be present to receive and move product into business or home, inspect the product (quantity/material) and sign the order. If you require special assistance, please notify the freight company (extra fees may apply for special assistance and are to be paid by the customer). In the unusual event that due to site constraints determined by the freight company, they are unable to deliver to the provided address, merchandise must be either picked up from the nearest suitable delivery place by client or routed to a different address (additional fees will apply and be the responsibility of the client). 

    • Receipt and Inspection of Product

    We cannot suggest more strongly that a professional receiving service/warehouse be used to receive, inspect and consolidate delivery of AC product. Likewise, a professional delivery service with experience handling fine furnishings should be used for in-home installations.

    Allred Collaborative product will not be released unless it is signed for as being in new and unmarred condition. If any product is damaged during transit or is refused upon delivery for any other reason, your Allred Collaborative representative must be notified within 48 hours.

    In the event that a crated item cannot be uncrated and inspected at the time of delivery, the receiver should make a note on the receiving document/BOL. However, a thorough inspection must occur within 48 hours of delivery and all freight claims filed within 72 hours. Allred Collaborative will not accept returns without prior written authorization

    • Product Quality and Damage in Transit

    When the freight carrier takes possession of the product, ownership transfers to the customer as per ICC Regulations. As owner, full responsibility for damage occurring in transit is the owners and all claims for such damage must be made within 48 hours of receipt. Failure to make a claim within the 48-hour period constitutes acceptance of the product and waives all future claims for any such defect, shortages or errors.

    All product is thoroughly inspected by the manufacturer prior to being released to ensure that it is in new and unmarred condition.

    Likewise, the product must also be inspected by the freight carrier at the point of origin prior to taking procession of said product. Any and all damage must be noted at that time on the BOL. If any damage is reported, Allred Collaborative reserves the right to refuse release of the product. A signed BOL verifies that the carrier has accepted responsibility for the product in the stated condition and affirms that they will deliver the product in the same condition in which it was received.

    Customer is responsible to inspect all cartons upon delivery for any signs of exterior visible damage. If the order has any external visible, please note damage on the delivery receipt, take photographs and contact both the transport company and our office within 48 hours. The original packaging of the products must be retained or if not possible, photos of the packaging must be provided. 

    Customer and/or their designated representative is responsible to unpack and inspect all product for any direct damage or defect. Photographs clearly depicting the product defect/damage must be submitted with a written claim to Allred Collaborative within 48 hours of receipt of the order for consideration. 

    1.  Risk of Loss

    Risk of loss or damage to items shall pass to the Customer upon their delivery of the product to the delivery address listed on Allred Collaborative’s invoice. 

    1.  Manufacturer’s Warranty

    With regard to manufacturing defects on furniture, the Customer’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies are the respective manufacturer’s warranty. Depending on the manufacturer, i.e. the brand, the warranty period for furniture varies from 1 to 5 years from the date of delivery. Neither the manufacturer or Allred Collaborative make any additional warranties, express or implied, regarding the products.

    Allred Collaborative does agree, however, to assign to the Customer any assignable warranties we may receive from any manufacturer. Allred Collaborative will assist you and use reasonable efforts to expedite manufacturing-related claims in accord with the manufacturer’s warranty. Please contact our Customer Service within 48 hours of discovery.

    1.  Product Color and Material Representations

    Allred Collaborative attempts to describe its products as accurately as possible. However, Juniper House cannot guarantee that product representations appearing on the Website are completely accurate. Colors and textures, as they appear on Customer’s screen, may vary slightly from the actual materials.

    • Product Variation

    All material finishes, whether natural or manufactured, involve an allowable margin of variance. Customers acknowledge that finish variances are inherent to all products and that received product may vary from Showroom samples and orders due to independent dye lot and production runs. Variation may include but not be limited to: color, grain, texture, finish, etc. Determination whether to take any action such as re-order based on perceived variance is at the sole discretion of an authorized Allred Collaborative representative.

    1.  Pricing and Information Disclaimer

    Allred Collaborative’s goal is to provide accuracy in all prices, delivery rates and other information. All prices online are in U.S. dollars and are subject to any applicable taxes according to state and local laws. Availability, prices and delivery rates are subject to change. There may be errors in the prices, descriptions or images of certain merchandise, and Juniper House reserves the right to restrict Orders of those items and correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions.

    Quotes are valid for 30 days. Retainer Fees are non-refundable. Prices set forth are predicated upon current foreign exchange rate; therefore, all prices are subject to pro-rate devaluations of rate and increasing manufacturer/shipper costs.

    1.  Taxes & Duties
    • United States Customer

The Customer may provide Allred Collaborative with an exemption certificate or other proper documentation applicable to the relevant taxing or customs authorities, and Allred Collaborative may accept such documentation in lieu of Customer’s payment of tax or duty. The Customer must remit documentation before the Order Acknowledgment is sent by Allred Collaborative.
    • International (Non United States) Sales
      For the purpose of these Terms & Conditions, Value Added Tax (“VAT”) means an indirect tax levied based on local regulations.

    Unless expressly stated otherwise, all amounts specified on the Website and purchase agreements, purchase confirmations etc., are exclusive of VAT. 

    To the extent that any VAT is applicable on any sale, transfer, conveyance of goods pursuant to the Customer, Allred Collaborative will charge such VAT to the Customer and the Customer will pay such VAT to Juniper House upon receipt of an invoice including VAT. 

    Juniper House shall consider the availability of any exemptions, low VAT rates, or the 0% VAT rates that may be available for VAT purposes in connection with the supply of goods (Allred Collaborative’s products) to the Customer, provided that the Customer complies with all requirements to allow Allred Collaborative to apply such exemption or low, or 0% VAT rate.

    In the event the Customer does not provide the required information to apply a VAT exemption, low VAT rate or 0% VAT rate, such as for instance, but not limited to, a valid VAT-identification number and the appropriate transport documentation, Allred Collaborative will apply the VAT rate that Allred Collaborative finds appropriate.

    In the event the information and/or required documentation provided by the Customer in relation to the supply is incorrect and/or incomplete, or resulting in Allred Collaborative not applying the correct VAT treatment, Juniper House will issue an additional invoice for the correct VAT amount which VAT amount shall be remitted to Allred Collaborative within 5 working days.

    The Customer will be liable for any VAT assessment, penalties and interest incurred by Allred Collaborative due to the provision of invalid, incorrect or incomplete information and/ or documentation. Any such damages shall be invoiced to the Customer and shall be remitted to us within 5 working days.

    1.   Limitation of Liability

    To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and except as set forth in the above-mentioned limited warranty, in no event will Allred Collaborative, its affiliates, owners, directors and employees under any circumstances be liable for special, incidental, consequential, direct or indirect damage of any kind arising out of or related to Allred Collaborative’s product, from delays, from failure to give notice of delay, or otherwise, even if Allred Collaborative has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Allred Collaborative’s total liability relating to any purchases governed by these Terms of Sale will not exceed the purchase price paid for the product giving rise to such claim, regardless of the legal theory asserted for such liability, whether in contract, tort, warranty or otherwise.

    Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to certain Customers.

    1.   Returns
