WHEN YOUR SHIPMENT ARRIVES
Upon delivery, please check the shipping boxes thoroughly. This includes checking the outside surface of the boxes as well as the contents inside the boxes. If the boxes show evidence of rough handling or should they be punctured, crushed, dented, creased, torn, or wet, it is a MUST that this condition be noted on all copies of the delivery receipt when you sign for the shipment. Then inspect each part individually for damage. Should you suspect that the contents are damaged or if there are any visual shipping damages, it is important to document the damages in detail on the Delivery Receipt and have the delivery party co-sign the Delivery Receipt. If the driver is not present at the time of your inspection, please contact us immediately by calling 877-20-GREEN or send us a Service Ticket and we will assist you in obtaining a resolution. Unfortunately, we can only process requests of replacements within 14 days of your delivery.

CANCELLATIONS/RETURNS & EXCHANGES
When ordering lighting, please read the text description carefully to confirm exactly what is included in your order. If it appears unclear, please contact us, so that we can provide you with additional information. As all of our products are considered custom orders through the manufacturer, once an order is processed, the order cannot be canceled and cannot be returned or exchanged.

In cases where manufacturers inform us of changes in availability, you will be notified as soon as possible. Such information can cause delays in your estimated shipping time. GREENCulture, Inc. is not responsible for such changes in availability or for any other inadvertent errors on our site.
If an item is out-of-stock, we can usually provide the buyer with an estimate of availability. Due to the nature of our many products lines, many item lead times change throughout the year. Please consult with any of our Customer Service Representatives for exact product lead times. If shipment has been delayed for other reasons, we will try to notify customers as soon as possible, so that proper delivery arrangements can be made.

We believe the best method of delivering lighting to our customers is to ship products directly from our manufacturers and suppliers to you. This system significantly reduces costs and expenses by removing the intermediate distribution layers. We transfer these savings on to you by offering you excellent pricing.

INDIVIDUALLY UNIQUE ITEMS
Several items on our site are made with hand blown glass, some even by mouth, so as a result each piece is unique and may vary slightly from one another. While the image on our site will be exceedingly similar to that of the finished product, slight variations might be found. The color of the glass will have the same primary colors, however the color pattern you receive might differ from that seen on the website, as the glass is hand blown and it is nearly impossible to replicate the same design twice. You agree that GREENCulture, Inc. will not be held responsible for such variations in color and/or glass pattern as that seen on the website due to the fixtures differing from one another. The beauty of hand blown glass is that no one in the world will have the same exact glass as you, it is an artistic piece. Furthermore, if glass patterns on the outside of glass shades differ from that as represented on the website, GREENCulture, Inc. will not be held accountable.
Many items on our website come in produced batches. It is for this reason, that if you purchase more than one of the same fixture, it is entirely possible that one or more fixture will be a slightly different color, as it might not have come from the same batch. GREENCulture, Inc. works extremely closely with its vendors to minimize this from happening and if you purchase more than one of the same fixture, you will receive all of them in the very close finishes. You agree that GREENCulture, Inc. will not be held accountable for such variations in color as that seen on the website.
