RUGS ONLY - SPECIAL FULL REFUND BENEFIT

Need help deciding which rug to buy? Let us help you.

Buy up to three rugs, and bring them to your space for evaluation. Keep at least one, and get a full refund for the one(s) you return. For rugs that you keep, we will credit you the shipping cost, in line with our 'free domestic shipping' policy.

However, if you decide to return everything, the terms of purchase will fall back to our default 'store credit only' policy. You will receive a store credit for the returned items, minus shipping costs both ways.

Please note:
♦ Refunds and credits will be issued within 30 days from the purchase date.
♦ Please do not ship items back to us until we send you shipping instructions.
♦ A restocking fee of $50 will apply to the returned rugs.
♦ Shipping fees apply for all international orders.

RETURN POLICY FOR RUGS ONLY

If for any reason you change your mind about your purchased rug(s), store credit will be issued 14 days after we receive the merchandise, for domestic returns. Issuing store credit for international returns will take up to 45 days.

♦ Return shipping fees will be the buyer's responsibility.
♦ Before issuing store credit, the initial shipping cost will be deducted from the total amount, since all domestic shipping costs are covered by us, and are free to our customers.
♦ Rug must be insured for the full purchase value, and a direct signature of an adult is required upon return delivery.
♦ If an incorrect or incomplete address is provided and the package is deemed undeliverable, the buyer is responsible for re-shipping charges.
♦ Rug must be shipped* back within 14 days of purchase, it must be well-packed, and returned to us in the condition that it was shipped to you initially.
*Refer to specific packaging directions under the "Shipping Policy" section.
♦ A restocking fee of $50 will apply to each returning rug.
♦ Store credit will be issued within 7 to 10 business days upon receipt and inspection of the rugs.
♦ Sale items are FINAL. Return/exchange/credit or refunds do not apply to items on sale.
♦ No exchange or credit on customized rugs, without any exception.
♦ Rug pads: No returns/refunds/credit on rug pads.

For rugs especially, we recommend our customers to inquire about all their color-related questions prior to making a purchase, as colors differ from one monitor to another.

RETURN POLICY FOR OTHER PRODUCTS

All items (excluding rugs) are FINAL sale, and products are sold as-is without warranty.

Important: Our store policies supersede all pre-selected language by Etsy's default settings, which are included above under the header "The following items can't be returned or exchanged".

We are happy to send more detailed photos for your consideration before your purchase. However, once the items are purchased we will not issue a refund but will consider an exchange or credit on a case-by-case basis.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

Claims made on this website are those of our own and they are not supported by any expert opinion. We take great care to provide as much history as possible about the items within our shop but we can not be held responsible for accuracy or authenticity.

We make every effort to accurately and completely describe the condition of our vintage items and their possible flaws. For anything with internal mechanisms, keep in mind that the vintage nature exempts the articles from any current safety standards. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that the purchased items are safe for their intended use. Manufacturer flaws or wear and tear of time are expected, thus House of Séance cannot be held responsible for any malfunctions nor incidents incurred from the item. Please read descriptions carefully and contact us with questions before making a purchase.

Several variables affect exact colors, we always encourage you to ask detailed questions instead of relying on the posted photos. Most pile rugs have a dark and a light side, depending on if they are viewed from the top or bottom side of the frontal part of the rug. Additionally, while we do our best to list the exact measurements, slight variances in width and length are a natural occurrence in all hand-made tribal antique and vintage rugs.

While we do not offer direct consultation, when requested, we gladly assist our customers by providing advice and providing suggestions. Final decision making falls back on the customer. House of Séance will not be held liable for the final design interventions.

Payments are accepted via PayPal and all major credit cards.

Sales taxes are applied at checkout according to your state.

LAYAWAY

Our ‘standard’ practice for layaways is as follows, but we will be happy to work out a longer-term plan should you need more time:

A non-refundable down payment of 50% is required at the time of purchase to hold the item. The balance is due within the next 30 days. If subsequent payments are not met timely, a $25 late fee will automatically be applied to your invoice.

If you change your mind before the end of the layaway term, your paid balance, minus any late fees, will be available as store credit and applicable towards your next purchase.

To begin your layaway plan:

1) Send your layaway request to desk@houseofséance.com providing us with your billing/shipping addresses, phone number, and e-mail.

2) We will send you a separate invoice for your first and the subsequent installments.

3) We will send you a reminder for the payment due date along with a copy of the invoice showing the remaining balance.

4) Your purchase will be shipped upon completion of your dues.
