Green & White Cleaners exercises
the utmost care in processing articles entrusted to us and uses
industry standard processes, which, in our opinion, are best suited
to the nature and condition of each individual item. Nevertheless,
we assume no liability or responsibility for inherent
weaknesses of or defects in all materials, including but
not exclusively limited to suede, leather, silk, satin,
double-faced fabric, vinyl and polyurethane, that are not readily
apparent prior to processing.
We cannot
guarantee against color loss/bleeding and shrinkage or against
damage to weak and tender fabrics.
We assume
no liability or responsibility for damage caused to items due to a
manufacturing defect or failure, poor dye performance, mislabeling,
a misleading representation in contravention of the
Care
Labeling of Textile Rules, an absence of a care
label or an inability of the item to withstand normal dry cleaning
and/or laundering and/or wet cleaning procedures. We will however,
help you to facilitate a claim with the manufacturer, in the
expressed cases where they may be at fault.
We
assume no liability or responsibility for damage caused to or by
beads, buttons, buckles, zippers, belts, sequins, trim and
ornaments.
All claims,
including a claim for a lost item, must be made within forty-eight
(48) hours of receipt or delivery of items
and our invoice or claim check must be presented at the time
the claim is made. Unless the items were accompanied by an itemized
list,
our count shall be accepted as
definitive.
If you believe that Green &
White Cleaners is in possession of an item but we have no record of
its pickup,
we request that you inform us
immediately
so we can start an investigation
and you can search at home. If, after seven (7) days, the item has
not been found,
we may compensate
you
for the loss of the item in accordance
with the
International
Fair Claims ("IFC") Guide,
at
our
discretion.
In
the event of a claim for which Green & White Cleaners is
responsible, including a claim of loss, we will either repair or
issue you a refund or credit for the value of the garment, as
specified in the
IFC
Guide.This guide takes into account
the average life of the garment, depreciation for the age of the
item, and the current replacement cost. If the customer is unable
to document the age of a garment, the customer can attest to the
age but Green & White Cleaners, at its sole discretion, may
limit the minimum age of any garment to one year. If no current
replacement cost is available (e.g., because the item is no longer
available in stores), Green & White Cleaners may use the
replacement cost of a comparable item currently available.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event
shall our liability exceed twenty (20) times the charge of
processing the item
except for drapery and
blinds whose limit of liability shall not exceed ten (10) times the
charge of processing the item.
A minimum of
thirty (30) days should be allowed to settle any
claim.
We are not responsible for items not picked up in over thirty (30)
days.
In laundering, Green & White Cleaners is not
responsible for any item(s), as wash and fold
is processed by weight and not by garment count. As such items are
not inspected,
we therefore will not be
responsible for any claims, including
shrinkage, discoloring, runs, rips, tears, or any other
damage.
This also includes any item claimed
loss or
missing.
We guarantee that we will try our best to remove
any stains present on your garment or article. However,
we cannot guarantee 100 % stain
removal. If we are unable to remove the
stains, we are nonetheless entitled to receive full payment for
services
rendered.
