Arhaus Contract Terms & Conditions

The following ARHAUS Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) sets forth the terms under which the person or entity set forth in the signature block hereto (the “Client”) shall purchase, from time to time, certain furniture and fixtures (“Products”) offered by Arhaus, LLC (“ARHAUS”) through the ARHAUS Contract division. Client acknowledges and accepts these Terms and agrees that these Terms shall be incorporated into and made a part of any and all Sales Order(s) (as defined below in Section 1), and that these Terms shall take precedence and control in the event of any conflict therewith.

1. SALES ORDERS. All Product purchases shall be set forth in an ARHAUS Sales Order (“Sales Order”) prepared by ARHAUS and delivered to Client for Client’s approval and acceptance. All pricing in a Sales Order shall be guaranteed for thirty (30) days from the date of a sales quote, unless agreed to otherwise in a writing signed by ARHAUS prior to acceptance. Client shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the Sales Order to accept the terms therein as evidenced by Client’s signature on the Sales Order, or Client’s submission of an email acceptance or other form of written acceptance referencing the Sales Order. An accepted Sales Order will constitute a binding contract between ARHAUS and Client, and any changes to the terms of an accepted Sales Order, including these Terms, must be mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing.

2. ORDERS. To place an order for Products (“Order”), Client must deliver to ARHAUS all of the following: (i) an accepted Sales Order; (ii) payment as set forth in Section 4 below; and (iii) a complete and accurate “ship to” address so that freight charges and delivery dates can be accurately calculated.

3. PAYMENT. For Products that are regularly stocked (“Stocked Products”), a deposit of 50% of the total price of the Stocked Products in an Order (including delivery charges) is required at the time of placement of an Order. The balance owed on a Stocked Products Order must be paid in full prior to scheduling delivery. Any amount due from Client that remains unpaid after the due date will be subject to a late charge equal to the lesser of one and one-half percent (1½%) of the balance due per month, or the maximum rate allowable by law from the due date until such amount is paid. For Products made to the Client’s specifications (“Custom Products”), 100% of the total price of Custom Products in an Order (including delivery charges) is required at the time of placement of an Order. Payment on any Sales Order may be made by check, credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover), ACH, or wire transfer. All Products (Stocked and/or Custom) must be paid in full prior to the delivery date.

4. TAXES. All prices payable for Products are exclusive of taxes. Client will pay all applicable sales taxes, excise taxes, use taxes, value added taxes, goods and services taxes, and other taxes, except to the extent Client provides ARHAUS with a valid resale or sales tax exemption certificate or other evidence of such exemption in a form acceptable to ARHAUS.

5. SHIPPING, HANDLING & DELIVERY. ARHAUS will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the most current and accurate Product delivery date and inventory information, but there is no guarantee items will be available when payment is received. Product deliveries for furniture are made within a pre-arranged delivery window. All non-furniture Products will be shipped, as and when available, by UPS or similar expedited carrier. ARHAUS will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship back-ordered Products on the date set forth in the Sales Order. In the event that an available date changes, Client will be notified promptly. Delivery dates are estimates only, and ARHAUS will not be liable for any damage, loss, or expense incurred by Client if ARHAUS fails to meet the specified delivery dates. Client agrees that ARHAUS may make partial shipments of Products, and each Product shipment will constitute a separate and independent transaction. All Products will be packaged in the manner determined by ARHAUS, unless otherwise requested by Client and agreed to in writing by ARHAUS. Any special delivery requirements must be submitted to ARHAUS in writing prior to delivery. To the extent not included in the Order, Client shall reimburse ARHAUS for all related shipping, handling, and insurance costs and expenses.

6. CANCELLATIONS. Subject to a 15% Cancellation Fee, Client may cancel Orders for products that are not special order or custom (“Stocked Products”) within forty-eight (48) hours after placement of the Order. No Order of Stocked Products may be canceled after forty-eight (48) hours from placement of an Order, and Orders for special order or custom products (“Custom Products”) are non-cancelable at all times, such that Client shall be obligated to pay the entire amount due.

7. RESALE OF PRODUCTS. Client represents, warrants and covenants to ARHAUS that Client, including its agents, affiliates, directors, officers, and employees, does not intend to, nor shall it, resell the Products or offer the Products for resale to any third parties without the express written consent of ARHAUS. Client acknowledges that ARHAUS has set its prices and entered into these Terms in reliance upon Client’s intention not to resell the Products, and that the same forms an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. Therefore, any resale of the Products shall constitute a material breach of these Terms, and ARHAUS shall have the right to immediately terminate these Terms and Client’s account by delivery of written notice to Client, and ARHAUS shall further be entitled to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief against Client.

8. COMMERCIAL USE. Client represents that the Products shall be restricted to Client’s commercial use only (e.g., limited to use in hotels, restaurants, bars, model homes, and other places of public accommodation where third parties may access and use the Products (“Commercial Use”). Client shall be solely responsible to determine whether the Products are suitable for Client’s intended, anticipated, and foreseeable Commercial Use of the Products (“Intended Use”). Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied herein to the contrary, the following terms shall apply to any such Intended Use of the Products:

8.1 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INHERENT RISKS. Client represents that it is an expert in its business and a sophisticated user of the Products, and Client’s integration into or application of the Products with Client’s businesses, services, and other product offerings are being done so by Client with full knowledge of such risks. Client acknowledges and represents that it has been given full opportunity to conduct its own due diligence on the Products and that ARHAUS has provided all necessary information to Client to make an informed decision regarding Client’s purchase of the Products, and Client fully accepts and agrees to the inherent risks and the disclaimers presented here.

8.2 WAIVER OF ARHAUS LIABILITY. Client accepts and assumes the risk of all property damage, personal injury, or death resulting from the Commercial Use or misuse of the Products by itself and any third parties, including, but not limited to: losses, liabilities, demands, penalties, judgments, damages, costs, and expenses resulting from any and all claims, demands, actions, and other proceedings brought by or on behalf of itself or any third party, and holds harmless ARHAUS, including its agents, affiliates, directors, officers, and employees, from and against any and all of the foregoing liabilities resulting therefrom.

8.3 WARRANTIES, REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. Unless expressly prohibited by applicable law, ARHAUS disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, relating to the Commercial Use of the Products, including, but not limited to: any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular use or purpose, even if the particular
use or purpose is disclosed to ARHAUS in advance, from course of dealing, course of performance, or usage in any commercial environment. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary. 

Arhaus warrants that the Products will be free from manufacturer’s Defects for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery of the Product. If Client finds a material manufacturer’s Defect in any Product, part, or component within one (1) year from delivery of the Product, provided the Product was properly stored, handled, assembled, maintained, and used by Client under normal conditions for Commercial Use, Client must report such Defect within the one (1) year period to the ARHAUS Contract team by e-mail ([email protected]). “Defects” are defined as imperfection in the manufacturer’s material or workmanship that impairs the intended use of the Product. Products containing Defects may be returned to ARHAUS freight prepaid only after Client has reported the Defect to ARHAUS and has made arrangements for pick-up or return of such defective Products. If ARHAUS determines after inspection that such returned Products contain Defects, ARHAUS will provide Client with the same or reasonably equivalent Product. This warranty is limited to the Client with proof of purchase. This warranty does not cover: (i) Defects caused by improper product storage, handling, assembly, installation, maintenance, or use; (ii) Defects occurring to the Products after purchase due to Product modification, intentional damage, accident, misuse, abuse, or negligence; (iii) normal Product wear and tear due to age; or (iv) variations of color or texture in Products made of natural materials (e.g. wood, leather, marble etc.).

8.4 THE ABOVE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT POLICY AND WARRANTY ARE THE CLIENT’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND SETS FORTH ARHAUS’ SOLE OBLIGATION TO CLIENT REGARDING THE PRODUCTS. ARHAUS DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL ASSURANCES (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE) RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS PROVIDED BY ARHAUS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED ASSURANCES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE (EVEN IF THE PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE IS DISCLOSED TO ARHAUS IN ADVANCE), OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY ASSURANCES THAT MAY ARISE FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE IN TRADE.

9. REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT POLICY.
9.1 All Products are considered to be in good condition and error free when delivered, unless damage or Sales Order error is reported by Client to the ARHAUS Contract team by e-mail ([email protected]) within fourteen (14) days of Product delivery to the shipping address on record. Client should inspect all deliveries immediately upon arrival, and should make note of any damage to Products or boxes when signing for Product deliveries. No replacements/refunds will be given for Products moved to a different location/address or re-shipped after delivery to the shipping address on record. Damaged Products and Products delivered in error may be returned to ARHAUS only after Client has reported the issue to ARHAUS and has made arrangements for pick-up or return of such Products. If ARHAUS determines after inspection that such returned Products are damaged, ARHAUS will, at its option, repair or replace the Products free of charge. If ARHAUS determines that such returned Product was delivered in error, ARHAUS will correct such error and re-deliver the Product ordered to Client.

The covenants and obligations contained in this section shall survive termination of these Terms.

17. ASSIGNMENT. Client may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of ARHAUS (which may be withheld in ARHAUS’ sole discretion), and any such attempted assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall automatically be deemed null, void, and of no effect. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors of each of the parties.
