CLAIMS:
- 1. Customer is responsible for inspecting all delivered furniture for damage and/or defect at the time of delivery and prior to execution of the Bill of Lading. The Delivery Team will allow Customer sufficient time to inspect delivered furniture for damage and/or defect and to inspect personal and real property for any damage rendered thereto as a result of the delivery process.
- 2. Once inspection and installation are complete, Customer is to sign the Bill of Lading. By doing so, Customer acknowledges and agrees that ARCADIA HOME DELIVERY, LLC and the Manufacturer and/or Seller are not liable for any damage or defect to Customer’s property and/or the delivered furniture except as otherwise noted on the Bill of Lading.

- 4. Customer waives all claims for damage or defect by retaining possession of the allegedly damaged or defective furniture. Customer waives all claims for damage or defect by refusing or failing to inspect the furniture at time of delivery unless delivery takes place outside the appointed time frame for delivery and Customer cannot be present. In such case, Customer has 24 hours from the actual time of delivery to report the alleged damage or defect.

Items deemed damage-free and/or of normal production quality will be returned to Customer upon payment of a redelivery charge.

If the piece cannot be repaired to manufacturer’s standard of quality, ARCADIA HOME DELIVERY, LLC will, at their discretion, reimburse Customer the actual purchase price of the freight damaged furniture or replace the freight damaged furniture, and no more. Customer specifically waives the right to any further claim for damages. All repaired or replaced freight damaged furniture will be redelivered to Customer at no additional charge provided the entire delivery charge has been paid in full, and on a priority basis but no guarantee is made as to the time frame of redelivery.
- 7. ARCADIA HOME DELIVERY, LLC is not responsible for and will not repair, pay for repair, or replace any items returned due to Manufacturer’s defect.
