  • A 20% restocking fee applies to all approved returns
  • Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer

3.3 Defective or Damaged Materials

You must inspect all materials upon delivery. Any visible damage or discrepancy must be noted on the delivery receipt and reported to us in writing within 5 business days of delivery.

4.3 Risk of Loss

Risk of loss and title to goods passes to the buyer upon delivery to the carrier or, for white-glove delivery, upon placement at the delivery address. We strongly recommend purchasing transit insurance for high-value shipments.

5. Warranties

5.1 Manufacturer Warranties

Many products we supply carry manufacturer warranties. We will pass through any applicable manufacturer warranty to you. Terms, duration, and coverage vary by product and manufacturer.

5.2 Limited Company Warranty

MetaMinds Materials warrants that products we supply will conform to the specifications stated in your written order confirmation. This warranty does not cover:

  • Natural variations in color, veining, or texture in natural stone, wood, or handmade materials
  • Damage resulting from improper installation, use, or maintenance
  • Normal wear and weathering
  • Materials installed in conditions for which they were not specified

5.3 Design Services Warranty

We warrant that design services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. We do not warrant specific aesthetic outcomes, as design is inherently subjective. Our liability for design services is limited to the fees paid for those services.

5.4 Disclaimer

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED ABOVE, ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, METAMINDS ADVISORS LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, COST OF SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS, OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MetaMinds Advisors LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of materials purchased from us, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

8. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with proceedings conducted in Louisville, Kentucky. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

9. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the Site or placement of orders after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. For active orders, the Terms in effect at the time of order confirmation govern that transaction.

10. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in the future.
