Production Disclaimer - Please note that, due to the handcrafted and bespoke nature of our work, there is always an inherent risk that the final product may somehow differ from the original concept—whether in form, dimensions, finishes, or production timelines. While we strive for the highest accuracy, variations can occur as part of the artisanal process. Larforma does not guarantee 100% replication of models or samples.
Refund Policy - In the case of bespoke projects – furniture pieces designed outside of Larforma’s standard collection – we do not offer refunds. This policy is based on several key factors - The unique and customized nature of each piece - The inability to resell or repurpose the item; - The significant investment in time, materials, and preparation required for its development and production.
Resolution Policy - Even so, in the event of a disagreement regarding the final product, Larforma is open to negotiating a credit note for a partial amount. This credit may be applied toward future Larforma products or services, as a gesture of goodwill and commitment to maintaining a constructive client relationship.
