Payments. The Site currently uses third parties to process payments. Our third-party payment processors accept payments through various credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, as detailed on the applicable payment screen.

Non-Refundable Retainer. Because of the nature of the work done being custom, 100% of the fees are non-refundable. Payments will be made in 100% under $500 or two payments of 50% as a retainer and 50% upon completion for Unique Short Tree to accept an order.

Payment methods accepted are bank transfer or cash. Secure payments on our website are managed through Square (please refer to their own T&C’s for handling your personal information). Unique Short Tree does not hold your payment details on record. Any verbal or telephone orders will be confirmed to the client by email.

If payment is PO-based, payment must be received in agreed timing (30 days or less). Otherwise, 5% of the owed balance will be charged each month that payment is not received.

Shipping. When you place an order for Products through the Site, the Products will be shipped to the address you designate as the "Shipping Address" during the check-out process. We fully insure each order for loss and/or damages until the point of delivery to your Shipping Address.

Delivery. Delivery timeframes communicated through the Site are estimates and dependent on many factors beyond its control, including but not limited to production delays, shipping delays, governance delays and forces of nature. In no event shall we be liable for deliveries going beyond the estimated timeframe.

Returns. Because our Products are made-to-order and custom, we do not accept returns once the payment has been processed.

FULFILLMENT OF ORDERS
We endeavor to deliver the clients items forming part of this contract at the specified time. Our obligation, however, is to deliver on time providing that the materials to complete the work are available at the time the work is to be undertaken. We will keep the client informed at all times of any supply issues, or other factors, such as illness or equipment failure, which can affect delivery times. Any verbal or telephone orders will be confirmed to the client by email.

Our goal is to have all orders ready to ship within 6 - 8 weeks of receipt of Order, Deposit and COM/Fabric. However it is important to note that building custom furniture is an iterative process that can, quite often, result in extended development time. Unique Short Tree holds no responsibility for additional shipping costs, penalties, fines or fees charged due to late installation or any other costs associated with delays in the manufacturing process. Also please note we are closed for one week in early July and for one week during the Christmas holiday season. These weeks are not included in the 6 - 8 week estimated time to ship.

Production does not begin until we have received all of the following items:

Approved Estimate signed
All COM Fabrics, Trims
Finish Selections
Payment

AMENDMENTS/CHANGES
Any amendments/changes made by the client must be in writing and confirmed/agreed in writing by Unique Short Tree. Amendments may impact on delivery dates and costs. Any change to delivery date or cost will be confirmed in writing and agreed between both parties before continuing with the work and follow Unique Short Tree Change process.

Additional work, which may not have been apparent when the estimate is provided, will be advised to the client on discovering, and a course of action agreed. This includes items such as (but not limited to) frame and foam repairs which are hidden by the fabric.

OLD COVERS
The old fabric that is removed from the clients' item will be discarded/destroyed. The client must provide written confirmation, prior to commencing work, if they want the old fabric returned to them. Additional fees may apply.

FABRIC SUPPLIED BY THE CLIENT
Unique Short Tree takes no responsibility for the fabric supplied by the customer. Fabric supplied by the client is at their own risk. Shortage or faults or flaws in fabric supplied by the client is the clients' responsibility. Unique Short Tree reserves the right to apply a surcharge for handling materials not supplied by us. Additionally, there will be a further charge if the fabric is supplied in pieces, instead of one continuous roll.

The client must ensure their fabric is suitable for the intended item and complies with the necessary fire regulations. The possibility always exists that we may need to ask for additional fabric.

We will gladly return all unused fabric. Please mark your Purchase Order to indicate your request to have fabric returned. If not indicated, the Unique Short Tree will store extra fabric for 60 days and then dispose of accordingly.

The yardages indicated in the catalog and on the website are for 54” wide plain fabric. Fabrics with patterns and/or less than 54” wide require additional yardage. Please supply extra yardage.

Note: Add 20% fabric to all yardage requirements for COM fabric to be tufted.

Unique Short Tree holds no financial responsibility for fabric overages or shortages.

AFTERCARE

Unique Short Tree cannot be held responsible for the present or future behavior of treatments/fabric/trims, such as wearing and deterioration, stretching, shrinking, staining, cleanability, fading or damage to the person or property. A copy of the fabric technical specification can be provided to the client upon request, confirming the manufacturers recommended cleaning instructions. The client should note that cleaning products will cause damage to the fabric. Do not use any cleaning products on the fabric. Do not steam or wash fabric, it can cause shrinkage.

CANCELLATION
We are unable to accept any changes, modifications, holds, or cancellations after the frames have been built and/or the fabric has been cut/changed.

NON-PAYMENT
Any invoices that are overdue will be subject to a 5% interest charge per month.

REFINISHING

We do not fully refinish woodwork. We touch up, paint and get out scratches but we do not fully refinish furniture.

ESTIMATES
Estimates are valid based on averages that we have seen in the market. Quotes are based on actual details of the project. Once you approve the quote, this same document is sent to the shop floor as a Work Order and is the sole source of information. Any errors or omissions on your quote will result in errors or omissions in your final piece of furniture.

This document supersedes all other communication including conversations, diagrams, photos, emails and discussions. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the details on this document are correct. While we may, occasionally, from time to time, offer input or comments on certain design elements, dimensions, etc. we hold no responsibility should the finished product not meet the needs of the customer as long as we meet the specifications on the Quote.

Additionally since upholstery has several ways to be completed Unique Short Tree will utilize their best practices. This may be different from previous upholstery. It is important to note that we can not duplicate furniture that we have not designed. We always do our best to get as close as possible to the inspiration photos and drawings however variations will occur. Be sure to specify any design details or elements that are essential to the final product. In the absence of any detail, our team will make the best decision possible which may or may not match the design you have in your mind - so be sure to specify as much as possible!

CLASSES

NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT 10% of tuition for classes and workshops is considered a non-refundable deposit.

REFUND POLICY FOR CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
