TERMS & CONDITIONS | NORTH ARCHIVE BRIDAL

Welcome to North Archive Bridal. By reserving and renting from our curated collection of luxury archival footwear, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Our policies are designed to preserve the heritage, craftsmanship, and circular life of these historic pieces for moments to come.

1. RESERVATIONS & BOOKING

• Securing Your Date: A rental reservation is officially confirmed only upon full payment of the rental fee and completion of our checkout process.

• Inventory Availability: Because our collection consists of rare, archival, and vintage luxury pieces, reservations are fulfilled on a strict first-come, first-served basis.

2. RENTAL PERIOD & RETURNS

• The Rental Window: Our standard rental window spans 4 days, typically commencing on Thursday and concluding the following Monday.

• The Return Process: Returns must be postmarked and shipped back by the final day of your rental period (Monday) using the prepaid shipping label and original packaging provided with your order.

• Late Returns: To ensure the archive remains available for subsequent brides, late returns disrupt our curated schedule. Delayed returns are subject to a late fee of $50 per day for every day the item is delayed past the agreed return date.

3. CONDITION & EXCLUSIVITY

• The Nature of the Archive: Our collection features masterfully crafted, historic luxury pieces. Minimal, natural wear consistent with an item's vintage heritage may be present and is a testament to its unique history.

• Alterations: Under no circumstances may any alterations, DIY repairs, permanent taping, or unapproved adhesive pads be applied to the footwear.

4. DAMAGE, REPAIR & LOSS

• Standard Wear: We fully expect and welcome the natural signs of a celebratory evening. Standard wear—including light scuffing on the soles or minor surface marks—is fully expected and covered in your rental.

• Assessable Damage: In the rare event that a piece is returned with major, non-restorable damage (such as deep structural leather tears, severe water stains, missing major embellishments, or broken heels), the client will be held responsible for the cost of professional luxury restoration.

• Loss or Irreparable Damage: If an item is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond the possibility of professional repair during the rental period, the client will be billed for the established archival replacement value of the piece.

5. CANCELLATIONS & AMENDMENTS

• Timely Cancellations: We understand that wedding plans can evolve. Cancellations made more than 30 days prior to your scheduled rental start date will receive a full refund.

• Late Cancellations: Cancellations made within 30 days of your reservation start date will receive a store credit, as the archival piece was exclusively held and removed from the collection for your milestone weekend.
