Terms and Conditions of Service  
 
 
     
  Inquiries  
 
We welcome three (3) product inquiries per attempt with a three attempt maximum from the same email person. All responses will be made in a timely fashion, usually within a period of 24-hours. Recurrently, there is market cost fluctuation and in a best effort, we want to make sure the price you receive is our lowest.
 
     
  Fraud  
 
All orders will be thoroughly scrutinized before shipping in accordance with Discount Upholstery Fabric’s Credit and Fraud Avoidance Department. Discount Upholstery Fabric, the Seller, urges you, the Buyer, to confirm your purchase and personal information before submitting any orders. The Seller may require additional information from you, the Buyer, and/or verification before accepting or processing any order.

The return of the product must be authorized by the Seller's email in response to the Buyer's return request.
 
     
 
Incorrect Shipment
In the case of the Buyer receiving an incorrect shipment, it is the responsibility of the distributor to retrieve and reship the correct goods at the distributors expense. If the Buyer is not at home for a second pick-up attempt, the cost of any additional projected relevant pick-up attempt will be the responsibility of the Buyer. All returns, in any case, must be authorized by the Seller’s email in response to the Buyer’s email return request.
 
     
 
In the case of the correct goods having been delivered, but indicated as incorrect by the Buyer due to any inaccuracy on the part of the Buyer, the responsibility of the inaccuracy lies with the Buyer. In this case, a refund in the total amount of the product's purchase price will be credited to the Buyer's original credit card less a 35% restocking fee and a 9% administrative fee. Any sales tax levied on the original purchase will be refunded in the full amount. There will be no refund or credit to the Buyer's charge card for the original shipping & handling charge. Any shipping & handling charge incurred as a result of any return will be charged to the Buyer's original credit card.
 
     
 
Buyer's Returns, Refusal of Goods, or Cancellations
If the Buyer or Buyer's agent for any reason returns or refuses a purchase or cancels an order either partially or in its entirety, a refund in the total amount of the product's purchase price will be credited to the Buyer's original credit card less a 35% restocking fee and a 9% administrative fee. Any sales tax levied on the original purchase will be refunded in the full amount. There will be no refund or credit to the Buyer's charge card for the original shipping & handling charge. Any shipping & handling charge incurred as a result of any return will be charged to the Buyer's original credit card.
 
     
 
In any case, the product shipment is to be returned to the distributor uncut, undamaged, unaltered, and contained in the original package with the original description label and/or packing slip or invoice attached to the product showing the complete description. When determined that the packaging and labeling is proper, the merchandise must be returned directly to the manufacturer, distributor or mill using either the Seller's newly assigned carrier or the Seller's authorized same carrier by which it was originally delivered to you. The Seller's email letter in response to the Buyer's return request must authorize the return of the product and appointed carrier.
 
     
 
If the Buyer wishes to purchase the correct product and furnishes the seller accurate descriptive information, a new total charge will be presented for payment, which may or may not be the same price as the initial order. In any case, the total cost of the reselected product and its shipping charges, and sales tax (if applicable) will be a new charge, whether a greater or a lesser amount than the original purchase and will be the responsibility of the Buyer.
 
     
 
Special Orders
Special Orders, i.e. product orders placed and in the process of being prepared, milled, or manufactured expressly for the Buyer's use, must be paid for in advance and are not subject to cancellation or refund of monies paid in any form under any circumstance, with the exception of the lack of fulfillment on the part of the Seller with a lapse of sixty days or more from date of order.

Cancellation of Reserved Incoming Fabric
Please refer to the Special Orders section above.
 
     
 
Damaged Merchandise
Resolution for any merchandise received damaged, either the initial shipment or a subsequent shipment, is the responsibility of the Buyer and must be resolved directly with the shipping company for any claim or compensation either in full or in part; however, certain distributors or mills will accept the responsibility for exchanging the same product. This arrangement does not infer culpability on the part of the shipper or Seller.
 
     
 
Defective Fabric
All fabric has been inspected by the distributor as well as by the mill. However, if the product has been determined defective by an upholsterer, the upholsterer must present a written finding to the Seller. It is then the responsibility of the distributor to issue a pickup for the defective uncut fabric and a new cut of the same size, pattern and color delivered.
 
 
If, for any reason, the Buyer wishes to cancel the order, a credit in the full amount of the purchase will be issued to the Buyer’s credit card. This policy will come about only if the distributor concurs with the Buyer’s indication of a defective fabric. The word “defective” would necessarily indicate that a fabric has flaws throughout at least 8% of the fabric received.
 
 
 
 
All fabrics contain a certain amount of small flaws or slub, which usually can be cut around and negotiated by an upholsterer so that they are not showing on the finished piece on furniture. If it has been determined by the distributor that the fabric had been returned for reasons other than indicated by the Buyer, and that the fabric was indeed not defective, our policy for restocking would take effect. In this case, a credit in the full amount of the total fabric purchase, including any sales tax, will be issued to the original charge card less a distributor's restocking fee of 35% of the cost of the returned fabric plus a 9% administration fee, less the cost of the original shipping and handling charge. The return of the package must be authorized by Seller's email in response to Buyer's return request.
 
     
  Credits and Refunds  
 
Upon receipt and restocking of the product, and in compliance with the above conditions, a refund will be issued promptly by a credit issued to the Buyer's original credit card used for the fabric's purchase. Credits issued to the Buyer's original credit card may not show until after the next billing date shown on Buyer's credit card statement. This information may be easily and quickly ascertained through a credit card company's toll-free telephone number or through an available credit card company's online access.
 
     
  The amount to be credited to the original credit card, would be in all cases, with the exception of defective or discolored fabric, the full amount of the total fabric purchase, including any sales tax, less a distributor's restocking fee of 35% and a 9% administration fee of the cost of the returned fabric and less the cost of the original shipping and handling. In the case of defective or discolored fabric, the product will be exchanged from either current or incoming stock, not exceed a 60-day waiting period.  
 
 
  All merchandise subject to a return must not be subjected to credit card stop payment or a charge-back process. This would imply duplicity and a lack of responsibility on the part of the Seller and an undue urgency and lack of faith by the Buyer and may necessitate the pursuit of a local lawsuit or collection by the Seller against the Buyer. Buyer agrees to pay for any lawsuit or process of collection in its totality resulting from any such or similar processes or occurrences. All legal action or collection will be addressed by proxy and governed by the laws within the state of the Buyer.
