ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
These Terms and Conditions of Sale and Delivery (“Agreement”) govern all sales and deliveries by South + English (“South + English” or “we”) to the customer (“Buyer” or “you”). All other terms and conditions, including, without limitation, those terms and conditions contained in any purchase order(s) which are different from, in addition to, conflict with, or that vary the terms hereof are hereby rejected and shall not be binding on South + English unless specifically accepted in writing.
CUSTOMER:
We sell to professional and commercial customers. We require a NC E595E form or active Resale Certificate for tax exemption. By submitting an order you are warranting that you meet these requirements and have the necessary, valid tax and business license and/or certificates, that you are knowingly making tax-exempt purchases for resale or other use that allows you to not pay sales tax legally, and in no way binds South + English to any potential tax or legal liability associated with your non-payment of sales and use tax in the transactions associated with the purchase and sale of our products to you, and that you agree to be bound by this Agreement. We reserve the right to cancel orders or terminate relationships in our sole discretion.
SALE REQUIREMENT:
- Purchase order (Preferred) Email / Website. We are happy to assist with pricing and order details by phone, but all orders will require a formal written document.
- Production starts after receipt of a formal Sales order and deposit or payment in full. Custom orders, Original Art, and Lighting are “FINAL SALE” and cannot be returned or refunded.
- Custom orders are final and cannot be returned. To ensure satisfaction on custom/Bespoke furnishings we require detailed specifications/drawings to be submitted for sign off before production can begin.
- Showroom Market samples or Warehouse Sale items are sold “AS IS”, with all faults. S+E is not responsible for refund, repair or replacement of these sales and the packing and shipment of goods is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
- Showroom, market and warehouse orders must have pick up schedule within 30 days of purchase.
PAYMENTS AND DEPOSITS:

CANCELLATIONS:
- Stocked Items: a 25% CANCELLATION FEE IS REQUIRED – in the spirit of customer service and the building of relationships, we will treat each situation individually, prior to making a final decision.
- Bespoke orders: NO REFUNDS OR CANCELLATION ON CUSTOM ORDERS AFTER DEPOSIT IS PAID: This applies to items that have been customized using customer supplied materials (COM) and to orders with specific dimensions and/or specific finish choice. In these instances, the DEPOSIT IS FORFEITED, as the incorporation of these materials renders the item non-saleable.

WARRANTY AND RETURNS:
- Warranty: Six months from ship date. (Normal environment conditions and everyday wear and tear.)
- Acceptable Tolerances: S+E takes pride in using high-end solid wood and every order gets our quality seal of approval as the manufacturer. Due to the nature of the wood, S+E cannot guarantee consistency in wood grain patterns. Each piece is hand crafted and unique. Bespoke orders allow for a variety of customizable finish options, but we cannot guarantee a color match across all hardwood species.
- For our Custom finishes, customers may specify wood grain visibility preference. Some designers crave a full-color finish; Others desire a wood-grain undertow. This needs to be stated at the time of order and discussed in sales consultation.
- No returns will be accepted without prior written approval. Returned items are subject to 25% restocking fee and return freight is customers responsibility.
- Refunds or account credits may be subject to a product being returned & inspected.
