Payment terms and customer protections
Last Updated: January 2025
1. Overview
At Sofa Trade Co, we are committed to transparency and fairness in all our business dealings. This Refund Policy outlines our terms regarding payments, cancellations, and refunds for custom woodworking services.
2. Payment Schedule
For custom woodworking projects, we typically structure payments as follows:
- Deposit (50%): Required to secure your project slot and begin the design and material procurement process. This deposit confirms your commitment to the project.
- Progress Payment (25%): Due upon completion of the major fabrication phase, before finishing and assembly.
- Final Payment (25%): Due upon delivery, installation, and your final approval of the completed work.
3. Deposit Terms
The initial deposit serves multiple purposes:
- Secures your reservation in our production schedule
- Covers the cost of specialized materials ordered for your project
- Compensates for design time and consultation
Deposit refunds are available under the following circumstances:
- If we are unable to complete the project as specified in our agreement
- If material availability makes the project impossible
- If we mutually agree to cancel before any work begins
4. Cancellation Policy

If you cancel before any fabrication work has started:
