Client or its agent should inspect all deliveries immediately upon delivery or pick up, and should make note of any damage to boxes when signing for Product deliveries. No replacements or refunds will be given for Products moved or re-shipped after delivery to the shipping address on record. Defective Products and Products delivered in error may be returned to ALLURA only after obtaining a Return Authorization Number from ALLURA.

If ALLURA determines that such returned Product was delivered in error, ALLURA will correct such error and re-deliver the Product ordered to Client. “Defects” are defined as imperfection in material or workmanship that will impair the use of the Products.
10.2 If Client finds a material Defect in any Product, part or component within six (6) months of the date that title to the Products passed to Client, provided the Product was properly stored, handled, assembled, maintained, and used by Client under normal conditions for Commercial Use, Client must report such Defect via email and during the Policy Period to the Client’s assigned representative or at (sales@AlluraEventFurniture.com). Defective Products may be returned to ALLURA, freight prepaid, only after obtaining a Return Authorization Number from ALLURA.
10.3 If after inspection any such returned Product is determined by ALLURA to qualify for this repair or replacement policy, ALLURA will, at ALLURA’s option, repair or replace the Product free of charge. This repair or replacement policy is limited to Client (and not any third-party user or purchaser), and is conditioned on Client providing a valid proof of purchase. This repair or replacement policy does not cover: (i) Defects caused by improper product storage, handling, assembly, installation, maintenance, or use; (ii) Defects occurring to the Products after purchase due to Product modification, intentional damage, accident, misuse, abuse, or negligence; (iii) normal Product wear and tear due to age and/or use; (iv) labor or assembly costs; or (v) variations of color or texture in Products made of natural materials (e.g. wood, leather, paint, stain, etc.).

14. NO SPECIAL DAMAGES Except as to a party’s breach of its confidentiality obligations, the parties’ indemnification obligations, liabilities resulting from death or personal injury and non-excludable statutory rights of consumers (e.g., under laws providing for strict product liability), in no event shall either party be liable for any indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential damages in connection with or arising out of these Terms (including, without limitation, loss of business, revenue, profits, goodwill, use, data, electronically transmitted orders, or other economic advantage), however they arise, whether in breach of contract, breach of warranty or in tort, including negligence, even if that party has previously been advised of the possibility of such damages, and whether or not such damages are foreseeable. ALLURA’s liability to Client hereunder shall not exceed the purchase price of the Product sold to Client under which the liability arises. Client agrees that the limitations of liability specified in this Section will survive and apply even if found to have failed of their essential purpose.
15. CONFIDENTIALITY. These Terms, including any amendments, exhibits or attachments hereto and all Invoices and Orders, including any information contained therein (including, without limitation, estimates, pricing, discounts, and quantities) and any other related documentation or communications, shall be treated as confidential information (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes, without limitation, any information, ideas and materials, in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed or provided to Recipient before or after the Effective Date: (i) which may be marked or otherwise identified, orally or in writing, as confidential or proprietary, prior to, upon or promptly after receipt by Recipient; or (ii) which Recipient should recognize from the circumstances surrounding the disclosure as Confidential Information.

The Recipient shall not disclose, deliver, provide, disseminate or otherwise make available, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information to any third party, without the express written permission of Discloser in each instance. Recipient may disclose Confidential Information only to Recipient’s employees and prior approved subcontractors who have a need to know such Confidential Information, and who are each obligated by a written agreement to comply with terms and conditions no less restrictive than those set forth in these Terms. Recipient shall take the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own information of similar nature and importance (but in any event no less than reasonable care), to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of Confidential Information. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information: (a) is or becomes generally known or available through no act or omission of Recipient; (b) is known by Recipient prior to the time of disclosure to Recipient and is not subject to restriction; (c) is independently developed by Recipient without the use of Confidential Information and can be proven by Recipient to be so developed; or (d) is lawfully obtained from a third party who has the right to make such disclosure without restriction. Recipient may use or disclose Confidential Information only to the extent that Recipient is legally compelled to disclose such Confidential Information, provided that Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to give advance notice of such compelled disclosure to Discloser and shall cooperate with Discloser in connection with any efforts to prevent or limit the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information.
16. FORCE MAJEUR. Other than Client’s payment obligations hereunder, if the performance of any part of these Terms is prevented, hindered, delayed, or otherwise made impractical by reason of flood, riot, fire, explosion, war, acts or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to those listed, beyond the reasonable control of a party, that party shall be excused from such performance to the extent that it is prevented, hindered, or delayed. If any such event occurs, the non-performing party shall make reasonable efforts to notify the other party of the nature of any such condition and the extent of the delay. The parties in good faith will attempt to modify these Terms to require such performance as the circumstances will allow. If revised terms cannot be agreed upon, the unfilled parts of these Terms shall be considered cancelled without penalty or premium. Likewise, if any of the conditions or events described above render the performance of any part of these Terms impossible, all or any part of undelivered Orders or unfilled parts thereof shall be considered cancelled without penalty or premium.

Client shall not use or infringe on the intellectual property of ALLURA or its affiliates, including, but not limited to, any trade names, trademarks, trade dress, patents, copyrighted works (including photographs from website or Source Books), or any other intellectual property rights (collectively, “ALLURA IP”), in Client’s showroom or store front facilities or on any Client website or catalog, social media site, advertising, marketing or promotional collateral, or any other materials available or publicly accessible to others unless ALLURA provides prior written approval, which it may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Client’s unauthorized use of ALLURA IP shall constitute a material breach of these Terms and constitute infringement of ALLURA and its affiliates’ rights in the ALLURA IP.

In the event Client uses any ALLURA IP in violation of this provision, Client shall immediately comply with any ALLURA or its affiliates’ request to cease use of the ALLURA IP (“Infringement Notice”).
