LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLATION & CLEANING

If the services you purchase from us include the installation and/or cleaning of a chandelier or other light fixture, you understand and agree that we are not electricians and are not responsible for the suitability, condition, or soundness of the existing outlet, outlet boxes, electrical service, wiring, support boxes or brackets, or other existing components of the space in which we are installing or cleaning the fixture.  We do not supply or install bulbs, lamp wire, ceiling medallions, dimmers, trim plates, support brackets, outlets, outlet boxes, controllers, or chain for your fixture unless those items are listed and specifically included on your estimate or customer service agreement.  If any necessary parts or components are included with a fixture you have purchased for us to install or clean, it is your responsibility to confirm all parts are supplied with your purchased fixture.

If we arrive to clean or install a fixture and the necessary parts are not present or we cannot safely clean or install the fixture through no fault of our own, we may elect to cancel the provision of the service with no obligation to reschedule at a later date and without any additional duty or obligation to perform the installation and/or cleaning services.  We may elect to refund or not invoice you for some portion of the agreed-upon price but are under no obligation to do so.  If we cannot install or clean the fixture through our failure to have the items previously listed on your estimate or customer service agreement, we will reschedule the provision of services at a later date.

If you have purchased the on-site drip method of cleaning, it does not include the removal of crystals from the fixture, hand-polishing or repair, as cleaning is done using a spray drip method of all exterior glass and attachments without disassembly. You understand and agree that fixtures that have never been cleaned or are heavily soiled may require multiple cleanings, each of which must be separately invoiced and scheduled at later dates.

LIGHT FIXTURE PICKUP & TRANSPORTATION

 

If the services you purchase involve the pickup and transport of a chandelier or other fixture, the fixture must be wrapped and ready for transport from a local merchant or storage facility and delivered to a location within a five (5) mile radius of the local merchant or storage facility.  Our pickup and transportation pricing does not include installation or cleaning of the fixture, which must be purchased separately if desired.  We do not inspect, warranty, or repair the fixture, and deliver it in an as-is condition without warranty.

INTERIOR DESIGN DECORATING & STAGING SERVICES

If the services you purchase involve interior design and/or decorating and/or staging services, the services will be described in a customer service agreement you enter into with us.  The customer service agreement will specify the nature and extent of the project, the cost, and terms of payment.  Except as specifically amended by the customer service agreement, these terms and conditions apply.

PAYMENT

Payment in full is required before the provision of any service and at the time a product is purchased.  Payment may be made by check, cash, CashApp, Zelle, or Venmo, with any and all processing fees to be paid by the customer. Unpaid invoices are subject to a late fee of 15% of the invoice value compounded monthly plus all court costs and attorney fees at the rate of $375.00 per hour to effect collection when required.

SHIPPING

All purchased products are subject to a handling and processing period by the manufacturer or dealer before shipment, which is typically between 5 to 10 business days.  Once your purchased product is shipped, delays beyond our control, such as for customs clearance, weather, or pandemic-related issues, are not uncommon.  We will provide you notice of when your purchased product is shipped.  Please allow at least 4 to 8 weeks for delivery of most items.  It is also your duty to confirm we have the correct shipping address when you place your order, and you are responsible for the payment of additional shipping fees for items shipped to incorrect or incomplete addresses.  In some circumstances, international shipments will require import and/or customs fees or taxes and those are your responsibility as well.

If your purchased product is damaged upon receipt, we may accept a return of the damaged product if the product remains unused in its original packaging with all warranty cards, manuals and accessories, and you provide us with photographic evidence, to our sole satisfaction, of damage occurring in transit.  If we accept a return of the product damaged in transit, you will be responsible for paying the shipping costs to return the item and if a discounted or free shipping had been applied to the original order, you will be charged the normal outbound shipping cost.

For furniture or large item delivery, it is your responsibility to check the shipping boxes thoroughly as soon as the shipment arrives. If the boxes show evidence of rough handling or should they be punctured, crushed, dented, creased, torn, or wet, you must note this condition on all copies of the freight bill when you sign for the shipment. Should you suspect that the contents are damaged or if there are any visual shipping damages, it is important to document the damages in detail on the delivery receipt and have the delivery party co-sign the delivery receipt. If you feel that the damage is minor, keep the original package and containers, note the damage in full detail on the delivery receipt. Even if the package appears only slightly damaged, write “package damaged” when you sign for delivery and contact our customer service department. If the boxes are badly damaged or if for any reason you feel any of the boxes are damaged more than slightly, it is your responsibility to refuse delivery on those items specifically and write down on the delivery receipt “refuse delivery due to box/carton damage” and contact our customer service department.  You are responsible for properly describing any and all damages on the delivery receipt. In the event you fail to do so, you will be responsible for additional item re-shipment charges as well as 35% product replacement fees. By signing the delivery receipt and not noting any damage, any damage reported later is your responsibility and not that of Shawn Penoyer, LLC.  Any and all damage claims must be reported to us within 24 hours of delivery. We are not responsible for any damage not reported to us within 24 hours of delivery.

If the shipment delivered to you is not in accordance with the number of cartons shown on the freight bill, it is your responsibility to have the delivering driver note the shortage on the freight bill when delivery takes place. Advise us of any shortage and we will trace the shipment with the delivery carrier. If the shortage cannot be located within a reasonable time, the missing items will be replaced.

WARRANTY

Some of the products we sell are sold with a manufacturer’s warranty.  It is your responsibility to obtain that information from the manufacturer as you see fit, and to contact the manufacturer if you have questions or concerns.  We make no warranties with respect to any service or product we sell, express or implied, including any warranties concerning the specific function of any service or product, or their reliability, availability, or ability to meet your specific needs. To the extent permitted by law, we expressly disclaim all implied warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of satisfactory quality, non-infringement, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
