PAYMENT TERMS- Proformas should be signed and stamped by the customer as a form of approval of the described content. In the absence of a signature and stamp, by making a deposit, the customer is approving the described content of the proforma. A 50% deposit minimum is required to start the production of the customer‘s order and the balance payment before shipping from Portugal (until 3 days before the expedition date). A 60% deposit is required to start the production of orders with custom products. We reserve the right to negotiate a deposit higher than 60% for large-value orders.

DESIGNS AND INSPIRATIONS are not responsible for delays in production or any fabric misuse if the fabric is sent without identification by the customer.

PRODUCT WAREHOUSE & STORAGE FEES- All customers will have a total of two (2) weeks from the date they are billed for their final payment to pay all remaining balances on their order. Once the balance is paid, the item will be shipped as soon as possible. If the balance remains unpaid or the order is not collected by the customer (in the case of the customer‘s transport), after the two-week grace period, a storage fee of 120$m3 will be applied weekly. Orders that accrue storage fees cannot be released until the fees and the remaining balance are paid. If the order extends eight (8) weeks past the date of final billing, the customer consents to release the order to DESIGNS AND INSPIRATIONS stock, and the 50% order deposit is lost.

All fabrics from DESIGNS AND INSPIRATIONS Collection may vary in color and may be discontinued without prior notice. Wood, Metal, and Stone Many wood and metal finishes are applied by hand and may vary in color, tone, and character. While the Manufacturer will make every effort to match a finish and/or texture, no guarantee can be made of an exact match. The manufacturer does not guarantee finishes against fading and oxidizing. All furniture featuring brass elements will need to be properly cared for and polished over time. Due to the porous nature of brass, it is common to have slight, unavoidable discrepancies in the metal upon production completion. Variations in color and veining are inherent in stone and wood and considered to be part of the natural beauty. Furniture and lighting are handmade and therefore are subject to slight variations. Due to this, products may vary from images seen online.
