Levin Furniture is not responsible for any fabric and/or cutting delays from the manufacturers. Delivery must be scheduled within 30 days of arrival into our Distribution Center.

If you choose to return merchandise that you picked up, it must be returned to any Levin Furniture Store or Distribution Center within 3 days after your original pick-up date. This is the sole remedy offered for defects in the purchased merchandise and is in lieu of any warranty, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, both of which are hereby expressly disclaimed. Exclusions: Option to repair/return merchandise is not available for Special Orders, Close-outs, Clearance/Levin Outlet, Floor Samples, Lift Chairs, soiled/stained merchandise or with evidence of pet hair, adjustable bedframes, box springs, mattresses, mattress protectors, pillows, and bedding.
Bedding Purchase: Please make sure that your mattress remains stain free. Regardless of the size and/or what it consists of, a stain will void any manufacturer’s warranty. Expect some time to get used to the feel of your new sleep set. Our bodies need time to adjust to a new sleep surface. Body impression on the surface of a mattress is normal. The mattress is only considered defective if these impressions meet or exceed 1-1/2” in depth on an innerspring or latex mattress and 3/4” on a Memory Foam mattress when used with a proper foundation. Use of a queen or a king frame without a center support will nullify your warranty. New mattress sets may have a temporary odor. Your mattress is brand new, often manufactured within days of your delivery. Please know this odor will dissipate quickly after being removed from the plastic.
Comfort Guarentee on Bedding Purchases: To ensure your satisfaction with your bedding purchase from Levin Furniture, we are proud to offer comfort guarantee on your new premium bedding when you purchase a premium mattress protector and a pillow. Because it takes the body time to adjust to a new sleeping surface, a minimum number of nights is necessary to properly adjust to the new sleep set. If you are not satisfied with your bedding selection after a minimum number of nights from the date of delivery, we gladly offer to exchange the mattress. This is a one-time courtesy exchange. All mattresses must be in original and sanitary condition. We always offer our sale price for satisfaction exchanges. All satisfaction exchanges are considered Special Orders; no further return or exchange privileges are available, and exchange must be for merchandise of equal or greater value. Satisfaction exchange deliveries are done Tuesday through Friday. A delivery charge and a return/handling fee apply. See below for specific minimum nights and fees applicable to comfort guarantee based on manufacturer and mattress type. Exclusions: Comfort guarantees are not offered on Special Orders, adjustable bedframes, box springs or reselects.
Customer Claims/Disputes: The purchaser agrees to Levin Furniture's terms and conditions requiring binding arbitration for the resolution of all customer claims and/or disputes (provided separately at time of purchase and available at www.levinfurniture.com).
Refunds: Refunds will be issued in the form of the original payment. If a payment was made by cash or check, a refund check will be mailed from our Corporate Office within 15 business days after cancellation. Purchases made by credit card will be refunded back to the credit card charged, financed purchases are refunded to the financing company.

CLAIM/DISPUTE RESOLUTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BELOW, YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO TRY ANY CLAIM IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as access to discovery or appeals, also might be unavailable or limited.
1. Agreement to Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
Any dispute, claim or controversy (that is not resolved informally as set forth below) between you and Levin Furniture, its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (hereinafter "Levin Furniture") arising from or relating in any way to: (1) these Claim/Dispute Resolution Terms and Conditions and/or the Levin Furniture Purchase Terms and Conditions; (2) their interpretation or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, and the relationships which result from them; (3) your use of any website owned or operated by Levin Furniture and its affiliated brands; or (4) any products or services sold or distributed by Levin Furniture and its affiliated brands or through any website owned or operated by Levin Furniture and its affiliated brands (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. Covered Disputes shall be interpreted broadly.
2. Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution
Levin Furniture values its customers and seeks to resolve disputes informally where possible. Before formally pursuing a Covered Dispute in arbitration, you agree to first send a detailed notice (“Notice”) to Levin Furniture by email at customerinquiry@levinfurniture.com or by certified U.S. Mail to 301 Fitz Henry Road Smithton, PA 15479. If Levin Furniture has a dispute with you, Levin Furniture agrees to first send a detailed Notice to your e-mail or mailing address on file with us. Your Notice must contain all of the following information: (i) your full name; (ii) your address, telephone number, and email address; (iii) information sufficient for Levin Furniture to identify any transaction at issue (e.g., your order number, order confirmation communication, etc.); and (iv) a detailed description of your dispute, the nature and basis of your claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief you are seeking with a calculation for it. You must personally sign this Notice. Levin Furniture’s Notice will likewise set forth (i) information sufficient for you to identify any transaction at issue and (ii) a detailed description of our dispute, the nature and basis of our claim(s), and the nature, basis, and calculation of the relief sought. You and Levin Furniture agree to negotiate in good faith about the dispute in an effort to swiftly resolve it to your satisfaction without the need for a formal proceeding. Should Levin Furniture request a telephone conference with you in an effort to resolve your dispute as part of this informal process, you agree to personally participate (with your counsel if you are represented). This informal process should result in resolution of the dispute, but if the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of a valid Notice and the parties have not agreed to extend this time period, you or Levin Furniture may initiate an arbitration. Compliance with and completion of this mandatory informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing any demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this process. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitration administrator shall not accept or administer any demand for arbitration unless the claimant has certified in writing that they have fully complied with this process. This certification shall be personally signed by you or Levin Furniture. A court shall have the authority to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations without first providing a fully completed Notice and participating in good faith in this informal dispute resolution process.
3. Arbitration Rules and Authority
Any arbitration between you and Levin Furniture shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol (collectively, "AAA Rules") in effect at the time any demand for arbitration is filed with AAA. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties shall mutually agree on an alternative administrator that will administer the proceeding. If the parties are unable to agree, they will petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration administrator. Any arbitration will be held before a single neutral arbitrator.
The arbitrator has the sole authority to and shall address all claims or arguments by both parties concerning the formation, legality, and enforceability of this arbitration clause, the scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of any claim or issue arising between us.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator is bound by and must follow these Claim/Dispute Resolution Terms and Conditions as a court would. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to address the essential findings and conclusions of law on which the award is based. The arbitration award shall be binding only between you and Levin Furniture and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding involving a different party, provided that the arbitrator may consider rulings in other arbitrations involving different individuals. The arbitrator may award fees and costs as provided by the AAA Rules or to the extent such fees and costs could be awarded in court or if the arbitrator determines that a claim, proceeding, or defense was frivolous or brought for harassment, for an improper purpose, or in bad faith. The arbitrator shall apply the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of the award.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, virtually, based on written submissions, or in person at a mutually agreed-upon location. Levin Furniture reserves the right to request an in-person or video conference hearing at any point within thirty (30) days after its deadline to file any answer. After that time, Levin Furniture retains the right to request an in-person or virtual hearing, which the arbitrator may elect to require along with your participation (with your counsel if you are represented).
4. Initiating Arbitration
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send to AAA the arbitration notice made available from the arbitration administrator and supplement that form with a detailed description of your claim, including with the information required for your Notice and a certification of compliance with the informal resolution process described in Section 2 above (collectively referred to as the “Demand for Arbitration”). You must personally sign your Demand for Arbitration and send Levin Furniture a copy by email to customerinquiry@levinfurniture.com or by certified U.S. Mail to 301 Fitz Henry Road Smithton PA 15479. If Levin Furniture initiates arbitration, we will send a copy of our Demand for Arbitration to your email or U.S. Mail address on file with us.
5. Arbitration Fees
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Upon a showing of financial hardship, Levin Furniture will consider your request to promptly reimburse your portion of the arbitration fees provided for in the AAA Rules.
6. Sole Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of arbitration: (1) either you or Levin Furniture may elect to have an individual claim heard in small claims court consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply, provided that it is brought and maintained as an individual claim and is not appealed or removed to any court of general jurisdiction; and (2) you agree that you or Levin Furniture may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
7. Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver
EXCEPT AS THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OTHERWISE PROVIDE AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND LEVIN FURNITURE ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO THE LITIGATION OF DISPUTES IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action/class arbitration or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. You and Levin Furniture may not be plaintiffs or class members in any purported class, collective, private attorney general, or representative proceeding, or otherwise make or proceed with any claim on a collective or consolidated basis and may each bring claims against the other only in their individual capacity. As referenced above, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim. If a court determines that this class action waiver is not enforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted (or the decision is otherwise final), then the parties agree that that particular claim or request for relief shall proceed in court but shall be stayed pending arbitration of the remaining claims.
8. Governing Law
You and Levin Furniture agree that any claim between the parties involves commerce under, and is governed exclusively by, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") and federal law, and not by any state or local laws, or the laws of other countries, concerning or purporting to place limits on the availability or scope of arbitration or in any way imposing requirements beyond or inconsistent with those set forth in the FAA. Where otherwise applicable, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania apply. Should any action proceed in court (other than in small claims court pursuant to Section 6 above), you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
