Terms of Sale

Applicability of the Terms and Conditions. These general sales terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") are applicable to all Product orders placed with BOOTH by the Customer. All general purchase terms and conditions of the Customer are excluded (regardless of their mode of transmission or medium). The Customer acknowledges that by placing an order with BOOTH, the Customer has received, read and accepted these Terms and Conditions.

Sale price. All orders are invoiced in USD based on the applicable rate on the day of the order. All initial orders are systematically issued in the form of a pro forma invoice. The minimum yardage for any fabric order is: 1 meter. For any order of less than 250€ HT, an administrative fee of 18€ HT will be due (except for samples). All Products ordered, with the exception of wall-to-wall carpeting and furniture, are shipped postage paid within the European Economic Area at the applicable rate in the Customer's country of destination. Given the specificities of the Products, the delivery is only carried out by carriers approved by BOOTH. For all EX-WORKS sales, the Client may choose his carrier, provided that he bears all risks and costs, including those of FOB delivery. Inventory reserves are valid for 15 days. Sampling hangers, cuts and books are sold individually according to the applicable rate in force and cannot be subject to a reserve. The memo samples made available to the Customer free of charge will be invoiced at €25 excl. VAT/each if they are not returned within two months of their date of receipt. For furniture, prices in white are increased by 12% for any order where the fabric is supplied by the Customer. In case of customized manufacture, a variation of +/- 10% of the delivered quantities is tolerated.

Payment terms and conditions. Unless otherwise stipulated, all invoices from BOOTH are payable with due date at "30 days end of month". In case of late payment, BOOTH may suspend or cancel current orders without prejudice to any other legal recourse. In case of payment by bill of exchange, these must be returned accepted to BOOTH within 48 hours. Failure to return the bill of exchange shall be considered as a refusal of acceptance equivalent to a payment default. The costs of returning unpaid bills of exchange are the responsibility of the Customer, and failure to pay on one of the set due dates will result in:

1) The outstanding sums shall become immediately payable, whatever the payment method chosen, and even if these involved issuances of bills of exchange.

2) Late payment penalties at an annual interest rate of 10%.

3) The payment of a fixed recovery indemnity of 40€.

A 50% deposit is required for any order requiring custom manufacturing (fabrics, furniture, carpets & rugs, confection...) or for any order of more than 6000€ exc. VAT. For furniture (custom-made or not), any order is only registered in the production process upon receipt of the order confirmation duly signed and stamped by the Customer and together with the payment of the 50% deposit.

Reservation of ownership. The transfer of ownership of the Products and its accessories is deferred upon full payment of the price. This reservation of ownership does not affect the transfer of risks to the Customer as soon as the Products are made available to the Customer. Payment failure on a due date may result in the Products delivered being claimed back, even if they were subsequently resold by the Customer to an end customer. The provision of a title involving an obligation to pay (such as a bill of exchange or other title) does not constitute a payment within the meaning of this clause. In the event of a garnishment procedure, preventive seizure or any other intervention by a third party on the Products, the Customer must inform BOOTH without delay in order to enable it to oppose this and to preserve its rights. The Customer shall refrain from pledging or transferring ownership of the Products delivered by BOOTH by way of security. For furniture, if the fabric has been supplied by the Customer and is incorporated into the furniture by BOOTH at the Customer's request, no compensation by the Customer may be claimed.

Delivery times. In general, the Products ordered are deemed to be in stock. The delivery dates provided for in the order confirmations issued by BOOTH are indicative and any delay shall not give the Customer the right to cancel the sale, refuse the Products or claim damages. BOOTH shall have the possibility of delivering the Products in part. Any partial delivery will be subject to its own invoicing payable under the agreed conditions. All deliveries are made from Monday to Friday and can be made at an additional fee on Saturdays. BOOTH shall reserve the right to discontinue any reference listed in its catalogues and price lists without this giving the Customer the right to lodge any complaint against BOOTH.

Fortuitous events and force major. If BOOTH is prevented from performing one of its obligations due to force major, and in particular the delivery within the contractually agreed delivery times, BOOTH shall inform the Customer in writing. In case of a force major event, BOOTH's obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event. In particular, total or partial strikes, any natural disasters, shortages of raw materials, administrative closures due to pandemics, wars and acts of terrorism are considered to be cases of force major.

Transport and conditions applicable to professionals. The Products are transported at the Customer's own risk, regardless of the mode of transport. In the case of express shipment at the Customer's request or for cash on delivery, a lump sum will be invoiced. For furniture and rugs, any delivery to the Customer's premises or directly to the final customer will be subject to a quotation.

Acceptance of goods. Any complaint relating to the condition of the Products at the time of receipt must be made by the recipient to the carrier. The Customer must check the condition of the parcels on delivery and express detailed reservations on the delivery note, failing which no complaint will be accepted by BOOTH. All complaints must be made in writing within 8 days of delivery. The Customer must carefully examine the Products delivered, check their yardage and color and any possible defects, before using them or reselling them to an end customer. No complaints will be accepted after any cutting or use and, in any case, beyond one month from the date of invoice. The liability of BOOTH is strictly limited to the value of the Products invoiced. In the event that the Products are delivered directly to the final customer, it shall be the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that the Products are received and verified by the final customer and that they comply with the order. Given the specificities of the Products, BOOTH recommends that any order for Products by the final customer from the Customer should be made after consultation by the final customer of a sample in order to give him/her the opportunity to check the conformity of the Product to his/her own needs. For reversible fabrics, the Customer must specify the desired side.

Return of Products. For any return of Products, the Customer must contact BOOTH within one month from the date of the invoice. No returns will be accepted without prior written authorization from BOOTH. If the cause of the return is not attributable to BOOTH, a 30% reduction will be applied to the amount of the credit note established on receipt of the Products, which must reach BOOTH in perfect condition, postage paid. If the Products returned are damaged, a reduction of 50% may be applied. No credit note can be issued without the return form enclosed with the shipment. BOOTH will not accept the return of third-party Products of which BOOTH is the exclusive distributor or returns relating to custom-made products.

Usage recommendations & guarantees. The description of Products in BOOTH's catalogues and price lists is given for indicative purposes only. The Customer acknowledges that the fittings & widths may vary slightly from one batch to another (+ or - 5%). BOOTH may modify the characteristics of its Products without the catalogue and price lists being opposable to it. If certain characteristics of the Product are essential for the Customer, it shall be the Customer's responsibility to mention this in writing when placing the order and to obtain a written guarantee from BOOTH that they are essential for the sale. As the Customer is a professional in the field of furniture and decoration, BOOTH can only inform or advise the Customer if the Customer spontaneously puts BOOTH in a position to do so and makes use of his obligation to inform himself. Furthermore, the Customer remains the sole judge of the use he makes of the Products ordered, of their adaptation to his needs or those of the final customer and the Customer remains solely responsible for the consequences of their use.

Color and model consistency. Given the specificities of the Products, BOOTH cannot guarantee absolute consistency from one production to another. BOOTH suggests that the Customer request a sample taken from the product by indicating to BOOTH the approximate yardage that the Customer may possibly need so that BOOTH can record a reservation on the product for the Customer and this for a maximum period of 15 days.

For furniture, BOOTH can make any changes to its models without prior notice. Dimensions of hand-knotted rugs vary and depend on the rug's composition and construction. Before choosing a rug or carpet, please take into consideration its composition, construction, type of backing and the foot traffic and atmospheric conditions of the room. In light of these characteristics, matting from foot traffic and fading from sun light is possible. As sisal and other plant fibers are particularly sensitive to humidity and water. Note also that steam cleaning can cause slight shrinkage.


Special treatments: (flame proofing, stain-resistance, etc...): Such treatments are carried out under the sole responsibility of the customer who must request and accept a trial beforehand. They must be unpacked and checked upon receipt.
