ALL TRANSACTIONS ARE GOVERNED BY PEYTON WEBSTER ASSOCIATES’ (“PW”) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (“Terms and Conditions” or “T&C”). These Terms and Conditions may be updated from time to time, and Client agrees to be bound by the current and future terms. “Client” includes both the Account or business, and the Customer or individual representing the business.
1. Contract.
a. Purchases Made Via Cart. Via the PW Website, Client may add swatches, samples, and products to a shopping cart. Purchases made via the shopping cart are subject to the terms and conditions herein. An “Order” submitted via the shopping cart is deemed by PW to be an offer to purchase, which PW may accept or reject in its sole discretion.
b. Purchases Made via Quote. At Client’s request, PW will furnish a Quote to Client. Quotes are valid for 30 days. An acceptance of a Quote (an “Order”) is deemed by PW to be an offer to purchase, which PW may accept or reject in its sole discretion. PW's acceptance of an offer to purchase is binding when a Job Number is created for the order. If the order does not properly reflect the material(s), quantity, pricing, tax, installation or set-up, or shipping/freight charges, please contact PW immediately.
c. General. Once an Order is processed, restocking, shipping, and all incidental fees will be incurred for any changes or cancellations. PW reserves the right to discontinue the sale of any product at any time. All prices are subject to change without notice.
2. Client Responsibilities.
a. Client agrees to abide to the Website Policies.
b. Client agrees to educate the end-user on the best use and care methods for all PW products sold. PW is not responsible for the misuse or mis-cleaning of products. If a Use and Care Guide is needed, please contact Customer Service at [email protected].
c. PW offers measuring, templating, and installation only in select areas. If Client requests a measurement or n in-person quote, Client agrees that a knowledgeable representative of its company will attend the meeting. If a template is required for a Custom Area Rug, Client agrees that a knowledgeable representative of its company will be present. If a product is being installed, Client agrees that either a knowledgeable representative of its company will attend the installation, or the end-user will be available to approve the work before the Service Provider leaves the site. Otherwise, PW will not be responsible for missing or wrong information or claims made, and any additional work will be made via a Change Order. PW offers measuring, templating, and installation only in select areas. PW will not install product purchased by another provider.
3. Credit & Tax Exemption Certificate. PW may, but shall not be obligated to, grant credit terms to Client. Acceptance of any Order is subject to final credit approval by PW. PW reserves the right to cancel any Order if PW deems Client unable to pay for any products. PW reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to deny, change or limit the amount or duration of credit to be allowed Client, either generally or with respect to a particular purchase order, and may require additional payment in advance. A Tax Exemption Certificate must be on file for the destination of the Order before an Order will be processed, unless PW allows an exemption (at the sole discretion of PW).
4. Terms. Invoices are payable in U.S. currency only. PW accepts online payments (ACH or credit card) and checks; however, PW reserves the right to charge up to a 3% fee for credit card payments.

For unapproved Accounts, payment in full is required at time of order. For approved Accounts, a deposit of 50% is required at time of order; and the balance is due at delivery or completion of installation, (as the case may be). However, PW reserves the right to collect up to the full 50% of the second installment should the delivery or installation be postponed longer than 30 days from the date of Order and the postponement or delays are due to the Client (in PW’s sole discretion). Invoices are provided electronically; no paper invoices will be mailed. Invoices not paid within terms are subject to a 1.5% monthly finance charge.
