In the event of any delay in Aronson Woodworks performance due in whole or in part to any cause beyond Aronson Woodworks reasonable control, Aronson Woodworks shall have such additional time for performance as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances. Acceptance by Buyer of any goods shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of any claim for damages on account of any delay in delivery of such goods.

TAXES

All taxes and excises of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter levied by governmental authority, whether federal, state or local, either directly or indirectly, upon the sale or transportation of any goods covered hereby shall be paid and borne by Buyer.

TITLE/RISK OF LOSS

Delivery of goods to carrier shall be deemed delivery to Buyer, and thereupon title to such goods, and risk of loss or damage, shall be Buyer’s. Any claim by Buyer against Aronson Woodworks or carrier for shortage or damage occurring prior to such delivery must be made in writing within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt of shipment and accompanied by original transportation bill signed by the carrier noting that the carrier received the goods from Aronson Woodworks in the conditions claimed. All deliveries are subject to the accompanying Delivery & Return Policy which is incorporated by reference and constitute a part of these terms and conditions.

METHOD OF SHIPMENT

Aronson Woodworks will arrange product shipments unless Buyer specifies shipment method. Any shipments returned to Aronson Woodworks as a result of Buyer’s unexcused delay or failure to accept delivery will require Buyer to pay all additional costs incurred by Aronson Woodworks including storage fees.

WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER

Except as specified herein, Aronson Woodworks warrants that any goods sold hereunder will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for one (1) year. This warranty does not apply to damage or breakage resulting from misuse, accidents, dramatic temperature variation, placement over or under air ventilation, abuse, neglect, mishandling or wear and tear resulting from normal use. Defective products will be replaced within the normal production time period required to reorder and manufacture the same product.

Many wood and metal finishes are applied by hand and may vary in color, tone and character. While Aronson Woodworks will make every effort to match a finish, no guarantee can be made of an exact match. Aronson Woodworks does not guarantee finishes against fading and oxidizing. Variations in color and veining are inherent in wood and considered to be part of the natural beauty. Furniture is handmade, and therefore is subject to slight variations.

Novelty Finishes such as Accent Grain and Ombre are artistic finishes which will vary from project to project. Accent Grain locations may not be dictated by the Designer, and will be dictated by Aronson Woodworks finishers. Accent Grain location is not grounds for refusal of the project.

Ombre finishes are created by making multiple passes with the paint sprayer along with width of the legs/bases of each piece, which slightly overlap. Ombre is hand applied by Aronson Woodworks finishers and is an artisanal finish that varies from one piece to the next. Renderings are provided for concept only and are not a one-for-one representation to how the ombre will be applied. Ombre fade variation is not grounds for refusal of the project.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, ARONSON WOODWORKS HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW.

LIMITATION OF REMEDIES

Aronson Woodworks shall not be liable for incidental or consequential losses, damages or expenses, directly or indirectly arising from the sale, handling or use of the goods, or from any other cause with respect to the goods or this agreement, whether such claim is based upon breach of contract, breach of warranty, strict liability in tort, negligence or any other legal theory. Aronson Woodworks total liability hereunder in any case is expressly limited to repair or replace (in the form originally ordered), at Aronson Woodworks election, the goods not complying with this agreement, or to the repayment of, or crediting buyer with, an amount equal to the purchase price of such affected goods. The remedy provided for above is buyer’s sole remedy for any failure of Aronson Woodworks to comply with its obligations regarding the workmanship of its products. Aronson Woodworks total liability to buyer shall not exceed the price of the product or part on which such liability is based.

Any claim by buyer with reference to the goods sold hereunder for any cause shall be deemed waived by buyer unless submitted to Aronson Woodworks in writing within forty-eight (48) hours from the date buyer discovered, or should have discovered, any claimed breach.

REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Aronson Woodworks requires payment for any shipment hereunder in advance. If Buyer fails to make payment in accordance with the terms of this agreement or otherwise fails to comply with any provision hereof, Aronson Woodworks may, at its option, cancel any unshipped portion of this order, retain the goods and declare a forfeiture of the deposit as liquidated damages.
