SALES OF MERCHANDISE
Sales of merchandise by LINDA HORN is made on an “as-is” basis. If you have questions about a particular piece you should send us an e-mail at INFO@LINDAHORN.COM or call us at 212-772-1122. We will try to assist internet customers in making a determination as to whether an antique or re-creation you are interested in purchasing meets your expectations. “As-is” means that the merchandise you purchase my have some scratches, nicks, defects or repairs as are commonly found in antiques. Some refinishing, repairs, rewiring or refurbishing, which could include new materials, may have been done.
PRICING AND VALUE
All prices are in US dollars. Payment may only be made by credit card, bank official (certified) check or bank wire transfer payable to LINDA HORN. We make our own judgment as to the value of our merchandise. The judgment of an employee or representative of LINDA HORN is not in any way to be considered an appraisal of the worth or value of any merchandise we sell.
All purchases are subject to New York State Sales Tax if delivered in New York State, regardless of the state or country in which the purchaser resides or does business. Purchaser may be exempt from paying such tax only upon advance presentation of a valid New York State Resale Certificate or an Interstate Commerce Commission Bill of Lading stating ultimate shipment to a location outside of New York State. It is the Purchaser’s sole responsibility to comply with any applicable foreign laws and any export or import licenses.
PURCHASING, PACKAGING AND SHIPPING
A purchase agreement is made via e-mail for Internet orders. When LINDA HORN receives an offer to purchase an antique or re-creation, we will respond with e-mail quoting the price, tax (where applicable) and estimated packaging, shipping and insurance costs, all of which is the purchaser’s responsibility. Prices and the additional charges for packaging, shipping and insurance are only for shipments within the Continental United States. Whether shipping can be arranged outside the Continental United States depends upon the particular circumstances. You must call us to discuss whether such arrangements can be made before we can make a purchase agreement.
If you respond with e-mail affirming a decision to accept the quote, a purchase agreement is made between us. Unless we are in receipt of cleared funds within seven (7) days of our making a purchase agreement, we may sell the items you have expressed an interest in via our e-mail communications to another party without further obligation to you except to return any funds received after the seven (7) day period. We will normally ship the next business day after our receipt of cleared funds or you can arrange to pick up the merchandise yourself at our business. Most shipping is by United Parcel Service (UPS) or Federal Express (FedEx). Shipping of larger items is by the freight carrier of purchaser’s choice or, if requested, we will attempt to obtain a carrier and a quote for you. Shipping of large furniture items may take several days or more to arrange. Payment for items shipped by carrier other than UPS or FedEx is made directly to the carrier and in such instances, purchaser must make final arrangements, including payment and delivery, directly with the carrier.
LINDA HORN is not responsible for delivery delays including those due to force majure, i.e., weather, strikes, war, or other actions beyond our control. LINDA HORN is not liable for any claims due to breakage during shipping. If a package is damaged, report it immediately to the carrier by filing a damage report using the carrier’s standard damage reporting process. We recommend that all packages be inspected as soon as possible and any damage reported to the carrier immediately to allow for the carrier’s processing of insurance claims. Title to the merchandise shall pass to the purchaser, regardless of residence, upon delivery of the merchandise to the carrier.
MERCHANDISE RETURNS
Advanced written authorization is required before purchases can be returned. Merchandise may be returned for store credit only and must be shipped prepaid, insured, and in the same condition as when originally sent. We must receive the returns within ten (10) days of the original ship date.
