These Terms govern access to the UARCH website and orders placed with UARCH. UARCH is operated by 18170151 CANADA INC., Montréal, Québec, Canada (“UARCH”, “we”, “us”). By using this website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms together with the policies referenced herein. Please review them before completing an order.

An order is submitted when you complete checkout and payment. Following submission, you will receive an electronic confirmation containing information concerning your order. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order where reasonably necessary, including in cases of suspected fraud, payment failure, technical error, or where we are legally unable to fulfil the order. If UARCH cancels an order after payment has been collected, the applicable amount will be refunded. You are responsible for reviewing the specifications, size, shipping information, and other information supplied with your order before completing checkout.

UARCH develops objects through computational and material processes informed by natural systems. Product descriptions, dimensions, materials, finishes, and other specifications are presented on the applicable object page. We make reasonable efforts to represent each object accurately. Appearance may nevertheless vary according to screen, lighting, photography, material behaviour, finishing, and the individual production process.

UARCH works with generative systems rather than fixed repetition. Certain objects are produced through procedural processes in which geometry is generated according to a defined set of parameters. As a result, subtle variations may occur between individual objects while preserving the intended design, material, scale, and characteristics of the piece. These variations are inherent to the process and form part of the object rather than constituting a defect. Surface character may also develop differently between objects and over time. Material processes including oxidation, patina, polishing, and wear are capable of altering appearance without altering the underlying design. Nothing in this section excludes defects, non-conformity, or other matters covered by applicable legal warranties.

Where an object is offered in multiple sizes, the selected size forms part of its production specification. Sizing information and measurement guidance are provided to assist selection. You are responsible for selecting the appropriate size before completing an order. If you are uncertain, contact UARCH before ordering. Because objects are generated to the ordered specification, completed objects cannot ordinarily be resized or exchanged for another size.

Prices are displayed in the currency indicated on the website or at checkout. Applicable taxes, shipping charges for optional services, and other amounts charged directly by UARCH will be presented before the order is completed. International shipments may be subject to duties, taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by authorities or third parties in the destination country. Where these amounts cannot reasonably be calculated by UARCH in advance, they are not included in the purchase price and remain the responsibility of the recipient. Payment must be authorized before an order can enter production.

Standard shipping is complimentary. Express shipping may be available for an additional charge. International orders are shipped DAP — Delivered at Place. UARCH does not prepay destination duties, customs charges, brokerage fees, or import taxes. Production and shipping are separate periods. Further information is contained in our Shipping Policy.

Because each object is generated according to the specification selected when ordering, all objects are made-to-order and final sale. Returns and exchanges are not accepted for change of mind, preference, or incorrect size selection. This does not affect rights arising from defects, damage, non-conformity, legal warranties, or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Further information is contained in our Return and Refund Policy.

Materials evolve through contact, environment, and use. Depending on the material and finish, an object may develop scratches, oxidation, patina, tonal variation, or changes in surface reflectivity over time. These characteristics may form part of the natural ageing of the material and do not necessarily indicate a defect. Care information supplied with an object or published by UARCH should be followed where applicable.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information presented on the website is accurate and current. Occasional technical, typographical, photographic, or other errors may nevertheless occur. We may correct website content where necessary. Nothing in these Terms permits UARCH to disregard a completed consumer contract or alter an agreed price where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.
