Carriage

NOVA reserves the right to choose the best method of delivery. All furniture is carefully inspected and securely packed before shipment. The carrier will only accept packages in good condition and agrees to deliver it in the same condition. NOVA relinquishes all responsibility for goods shipped upon a signed receiving document from the carrier. It is the customer’s responsibility to inspect merchandise immediately upon receipt.

Loss, damage or delay

NOVA shall not be liable for loss, damage, or delay resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, strike, inclement weather, accidents, or delay in transportation. In the event of a delay, due to any such cause, the delivery date will be postponed.

Shortages

If the shipment is not delivered in accordance with the quantity of cartons and packages shown on the Bill of Lading and/or Freight Bill, do not accept it until such shortages are noted on both documents.

Freight claims

The merchandise is carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before shipment. The carrier upon acceptance of the shipment assumes responsibility for its safe delivery.

Signing the Bill of Lading as “Subject to Inspection” does not make the carrier liable for damage.

Concealed loss or damage

Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage that does not become apparent until the merchandise has been unpacked. The contents may be damaged in transit due to rough handling even though the carton may not show external damage. When damage is discovered upon unpacking, take pictures immediately and notify NOVA within 7 calendar days of the delivery date. NOVA will contact the carrier to initiate a claim.

Visible damage or shortage

Any external evidence of damage or shortage must be noted on the freight bill or express receipts and signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately describe such external evidence of damage or shortage may result in the carrier refusing to honor a damage claim. Take pictures of the damaged product and contact NOVA immediately to file a claim.

In the event of damage all cartons and packaging must be kept with the merchandise at the delivered location. Failure to do so constitutes acceptance and a waiver of any such claim.

Returns

NOVA will not accept the return of any merchandise without a Returned Material Authorization (RMA). Special order items may not be returned for credit. No returns will be allowed after sixty (60) days from the ship date. If merchandise is approved for return, a restocking fee will be applied. Upon receipt, all returned merchandise will be thoroughly inspected, and any discrepancies will result in an adjustment to the amount of credit issued.
