Madernest Terms of Service
Last Updated: July 12, 2025
Welcome to Madernest! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Madernest website (the "Site"), our products, and our services. By accessing or using any part of the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the website or use any services. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.
Madernest, "Rooted in Wood. Designed for Living.", is committed to providing artisan-crafted furniture inspired by nature, comfort, and timeless design. These Terms are designed to protect both you and Madernest, ensuring a clear understanding of our mutual rights and obligations. Please read them carefully before proceeding with any purchase or interaction on our Site.
1. General Conditions
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. You understand that your content (not including credit card information), may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Service, use of the Service, or access to the Service or any contact on the website through which the service is provided, without express written permission by us. The headings used in this agreement are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these Terms.
2. Account Terms
To access certain features of the Site, such as placing orders or managing your purchase history, you may be required to create an account. When you create an account with Madernest, you agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.
- Maintain the confidentiality of your account password and to be solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security.
- Be at least 18 years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to create an account and make purchases. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
- Not use the Site for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
Madernest reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service for any reason at any time, particularly if we suspect that any information provided is untrue, inaccurate, incomplete, or not current.
3. Product Information and Availability
Madernest is dedicated to providing accurate and detailed descriptions of our artisan-crafted furniture. However, due to the unique nature of natural wood and handmade processes, certain variations are inherent:
- Accuracy of Descriptions: We strive to ensure that all product descriptions, images, and pricing information on our Site are accurate and up-to-date. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content of this Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by Madernest itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition as per our Returns & Refunds policy.
- Natural Variations: Our furniture is "Rooted in Wood," meaning each piece will have unique grain patterns, knots, and color variations. These are natural characteristics of solid wood and are not considered defects. Digital images may also display colors differently depending on your monitor settings.
- Availability: All products are subject to availability. While we make every effort to display accurate stock levels, certain items, especially "Made-to-Nest" custom pieces, may have lead times. We reserve the right to limit the quantities of any products or services that we offer.
- Modifications to Products and Prices: Prices for our products are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
4. Pricing, Payment, and Order Acceptance
Understanding our pricing and payment process is crucial for a smooth transaction:
- Pricing: All prices displayed on the Site are in Indian Rupees (₹) unless otherwise specified. Prices do not include applicable taxes, shipping, or handling charges, which will be added to your total at checkout.
- Payment Methods: We accept various payment methods as indicated on our Site, including major credit/debit cards and other digital payment options. By providing payment information, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your order.
- Order Confirmation: After you place an order, you will receive an email confirmation. This email does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell; we are simply confirming that we received your order.
- Order Acceptance: All orders placed through the Site are subject to acceptance by Madernest. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for any reason, including but not limited to: product or service availability, errors in the description or price of the product or service, error in your order, or other reasons. If we cancel an order after you have already been billed, we will refund the full amount.
- Billing Accuracy: You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
5. Shipping and Delivery
Our commitment to "Designed for Living" extends to ensuring your furniture arrives safely and efficiently:
- Delivery Estimates: We provide estimated delivery times for each product. These are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary due to factors beyond our control, such as manufacturing delays, shipping carrier issues, or unforeseen circumstances.
- Shipping Charges: Shipping and handling charges are calculated based on the size, weight, and destination of your order. These charges will be clearly displayed at checkout.
- Risk of Loss: All items purchased from Madernest are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier.
- Inspection Upon Delivery: It is your responsibility to inspect all items upon delivery. If you notice any damage or discrepancies, please make a note on the delivery receipt and contact our customer service immediately (within 24-48 hours) with photographic evidence. Failure to do so may affect your ability to claim for damages.
- Delivery Access: You are responsible for ensuring that the delivery location is accessible for our delivery partners and that the furniture can fit through doorways, stairwells, and elevators. Additional charges may apply for complex delivery situations or redelivery attempts.
6. Returns and Refunds
We want you to be completely satisfied with your Madernest furniture. Our returns and refunds policy is designed to be fair and transparent:
- Eligibility: You may return most new, unused items within [e.g., 14] days of delivery for a full refund or exchange. Items must be in their original condition and packaging. Custom "Made-to-Nest" orders are generally non-returnable unless defective or damaged upon arrival.
- Return Process: To initiate a return, please contact our customer service team. We will provide you with instructions and a return authorization. You may be responsible for return shipping costs unless the item is defective or was shipped in error.
- Refunds: Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund. If approved, your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your original method of payment within a certain number of days.
- Damaged or Defective Items: If you receive a damaged or defective item, please contact us immediately with photos of the damage. We will work with you to arrange a replacement or refund.
- Specific Product Return Conditions: Certain products may have specific return conditions due to their nature (e.g., mattresses, upholstered items). Please refer to the individual product pages or contact customer service for details.
