Terms and Conditions for Free Samples
Monteiro Fabrics is pleased to offer free samples to support professional and commercial projects. Please read the following terms carefully before submitting your request:
1. Eligibility
Free samples are available exclusively for B2B (business-to-business) purposes.
To process your request, it is mandatory to include your company name. Requests without a valid business name may not be fulfilled.
2. Delivery Time
Samples are shipped from our facilities in Portugal and can take between 7 to 22 working days for delivery, depending on your location and local customs handling.
If you have not received your samples within 22 days, please contact us at 📧 marketing@monteirofabrics. com for assistance.
3. Returns
Please note that samples are provided free of charge and are therefore non-returnable. We do not accept returns or exchanges of samples under any circumstances.
4. Limitations
We reserve the right to limit the number of free samples provided per request or per customer, based on availability and project relevance.
5. Use of Samples
Samples are provided for reference only. While we aim to ensure accuracy in colour, texture and finish, minor variations may occur between the sample and final production, depending on batch and production timing. We do not recommend using samples as final production material.
