These Terms of Sale (hereafter the “Terms of Sale”) govern the sale of the Product(s) on the Site without restrictions. The Terms of Sale applicable to each order are those in effect on the date of the Customer’s order.
Any order on the Site implies that the Customer has fully accepted the Terms of Sale in force at the time the order is placed.
Under these terms, it is agreed that the Customer and the Supplier shall be collectively referred to as the ‘Parties’ and individually as a “Party”.
PURPOSE
These Terms of Sale are intended to define the terms and conditions in which the Products are sold by the Supplier.
PRODUCTS
The Products available for sale by the Designs by Rudy Inc. are those which appear on the Site on the day of the Customer visit. Each Product has a description which contains: the price, a photograph (or multiple photographs), sometimes a promotional video, the sizes, the materials and the specific characteristics of the Product.
The photographs and videos shown on the Site are those of the Product examples and are not contractually binding. It is physically impossible to replicate the patterns, blemishes and natural imperfections of the concrete’s finished surface. It is also impossible to replicate real wood grains wherever various wood species are used in the Products.
You are guaranteed to receive the Product that matches pictured Products shown on the Site:
- 100% in shape
- Very closely in color (colors on pictures are always slightly different)
- Entirely unique in surface patterns
SALES PRICE
The price of the Product(s) available for sale on the Site are shown in US dollars, exclusive of delivery costs.
Designs by Rudy Inc. reserves the right to change the prices at any time, but commits to apply the prices shown on the Site when the Customer makes the order.
The prices shown on the order, after it has been confirmed, will be recorded as such and shall be firm and final: if the price falls a few days after the order, the Supplier may under no circumstance compensate the Customer for the difference; if the price increases, the Supplier commits to deliver the Product at the price set on the day of the order.
The prices shall not take into account the cost of delivering the Product(s) to the Customer, which shall be mentioned and invoiced separately when the order is made.
The Customer will find details of the delivery costs on the transaction summary provided before the order is confirmed. These costs will be borne by the Customer and will be invoiced in addition to the sales price for the Product(s).
ORDERING PROCESS

The Customer must fill in the delivery location in order to see the delivery costs and options; for some destinations, the customer will be asked to process his/her order, and at the same time contact the Supplier’s customer service department to determine the delivery costs (by phone at 1 (847) 281-5131 or by email: info@desingsbyrudy.com). - Completing Forms
The Customer should then fill in his/her contact details as well as the delivery and billing address. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory; unless otherwise specified by the Customer, the billing address shall automatically be the same as the delivery address.
The order amount specifying both the price due for the Product(s) and the delivery costs, if they can be calculated, will then be shown in the summary. - Acceptance of Terms
The Customer will then check all the information and click on “order” to continue the order process, after ticking the box “I have read and accept the Terms of Sale, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy” for the Site https://designsbyrudy.com.

PAYMENT
The majority of Products displayed on the Site are custom made based on your order details and handcrafted after the order has been placed. For all those Products and because the typical time frame for producing a concrete piece of furniture (excluding conference room tables – the time frame could be longer) is four to six (4 to 6) weeks, you will have 3 options of payment:
- 50% of the Product’s price at the time of purchase and the remaining balance (you will receive new payment link), plus shipping charges, once your piece of furniture is finished / before shipping.
- 100% of the Product’s price plus shipping charges paid at the time of purchase – some of our clients prefer to make one-time payment.
- Any items marked “In Stock” require full payment at the time of purchase (Product price plus shipping charges).
Some of the Products may be displayed and offered on pre-order basis only, in which case there will be “Notify me when available” option at the time of pre-ordering. Once available you will receive Product page link to review it and place your order.
If the payment fails in any of the scenarios listed above, if there is an incorrect address, or any other problem related to the Customer’s account, the Supplier reserves the right to block the Customer’s order until the problem is resolved.
Transactions on the Site are secured by PayPal and / or Braintree (A PayPal Company). The Customer’s Credit Card or Bank details are not retained.
ORDER ARCHIVING

The typical lead time for concrete Products ordered from the Site is four to six (4 to 6) weeks. Shipping is scheduled immediately after the Product is fully cured.
The risks for loss or damage to the Products shall be transferred to the Customer AFTER the Products have been picked up by a carrier. Customer is required to purchase the insurance to cover the product while in transport.
