DISCLAIMER ON REPRESENTING GOODS, FINISHES & DISTRESSING:

HomeCinemacenter.com offers thousands of products on our website. We do all that we can to provide the most accurate and complete product information. The customer/purchaser is responsible to review the HomeCinemacenter.comwebsite for all information, details, features, pictures, videos, construction/quality rating, and/or distressing rating for each item ordered.

HomeCinemacenter.com is responsible to deliver all goods up to the Manufacturer’s Standards and Tolerances. We cannot anticipate customers’ expectations or preferences for color, quality, scale, acceptable level of distressing, and/or fitness for a particular use. Our obligation and guarantee is to deliver the goods up to the Manufacturer’s Standards and Tolerances. If a customer requests to cancel or return furniture because it does not meet his/her subjective expectations or preferences, he/she may cancel or return an order in accordance with our Cancellation & Return Policy.

Customer’s purchasing online should be aware that there are several reasons an item may look different online than in person. Below is a list of the most common reasons an item will look different in person than it does online.

Pictures: We use pictures from the manufacturer to represent items. Whether printed or digital, pictures are representative of the actual item. Computer screens and your setting preferences can distort color. Studio lighting is often very different from environmental or home lighting.

Manufacturing Changes: Changes in production can affect design features, dimensions, and the appearance of fabrics and/or finishes. Manufacturers may change production and determine the change does not warrant the expense to reshoot a collection.

Preferences and Perception of Color & Quality: Many characteristics such as color, quality, and/or amount of distressing are subjective. Every person interprets wood species, color descriptions, color, and quality differently. Customers may view a picture and believe the finish will match something in their home. That is the customer's preference, but it may not be the reality for how the piece is finished. HomeCinemacenter.com cannot anticipate a customer's preference or expectations for an item. Please consider this before deciding to purchase online.

Distressing/Reclaimed/Refurbished furniture: Distressing techniques are typically hand-applied and will vary in quantity and location from piece to piece. Items made from reclaimed or refurbished materials will vary in color, texture, and character marks.

Natural Materials have variation: Each piece of furniture made from natural materials like wood, leather, stone, etc. will have its own unique fingerprint. Wood variations include but are not limited to wood grain, wood grain pattern (as determined by the cut of the veneer), mineral streaks, knots, burls, lightness/darkness dependent on the location in the log from which the wood is cut. Leather variations include but are not limited to skin blemishes (warts or moles), healed scars, veining, wrinkles, urine/manure burns, and leather graining. Depending upon the finish on the leather, these inherent characteristics will be more or less visible. Stone variations include but are not limited to differing grain pattern, grain density, color, veining, pit holes, and cleft.

For these reasons, customers purchasing online should be aware of and expect variation from the appearance of the item on our website to the appearance of the item that arrives to their home.

RIGHT TO CORRECT AND/OR CANCEL:

HomeCinemacenter.com reserves the right to correct pricing and/or product descriptions upon discovery of incorrect pricing and/or product descriptions. This includes corrections to quotes and submitted orders. HomeCinemacenter.com reserves the right to cancel any order for any reason, and we will offer a full refund if we choose to cancel your order.

DISPUTES, DEFAMATION & PARTIAL DELIVERIES:

In the event of a dispute of payment, charge back inquiry, or credit card dispute, HomeCinemacenter.com. reserves the right to pursue legal recourse to recuperate expenses incurred to deliver orders, regardless of the bank or credit card company’s finding for the dispute. The purchaser agrees to allow up to 9 weeks for HomeCinemacenter.com to provide a resolution for items that arrive incorrect or with damage or defect. If HomeCinemacenter.com. wins in court, the customer agrees to pay the sale price of the goods, plus any additional shipping incurred by Home Cinema Center., plus all collection and attorney’s fees associated with the collection and/or legal process.

If the customer defames HomeCinemacenter.com. with untrue or incomplete information in public reviews, to credit card companies, or to the Better Business Bureau, HomeCinemacenter.com. reserves the right to recuperate all damages caused by the customer.

If HomeCinemacenter.com cannot restore or replace an item, HomeCinemacenter.com will issue a refund for that item. If the item was purchased as part of a set, HomeCinemacenter.com will issue a refund for any item that we cannot restore or replace. If the customer would like to return items from a set because HomeCinemacenter.com cannot restore or replace an item in a set, the customer agrees to the return with a 50% restocking fee.

In cases of payment dispute, charge back inquiry, or credit card dispute, if items delivered free from damage or defect are included in the amount in dispute, HomeCinemacenter.com will consider the goods delivered to be a theft of HomeCinemacenter.com property. If and when the dispute is settled in favor of the purchaser, and HomeCinemacenter.com will pursue legal action for the theft of HomeCinemacenter.com property.
