This encompasses, without limitation, losses related to the inability to use the product, revenue loss, inconvenience, or damage to personal possessions.
The responsibility for any decision based on information or materials provided by Avatar Tiny Home rests solely with you, and we bear no liability for any outcomes. It is your duty to verify that any products or services procured from us align with your specific needs.
We offer advice, recommendations, assistance, or services regarding our products in good faith, believing them to be accurate, relevant, and reliable at the time of issuance. Nonetheless, such guidance comes with no guarantee regarding its precision, suitability, or dependability, and we accept no liability for losses incurred due to reliance on these inputs.

Payment Terms
Full settlement of the invoice amount is requisite for the release of any products sold by Avatar Tiny Home. Despite our efforts to accurately forecast product availability and delivery schedules, we reserve the right to adjust these based on payment timelines. Avatar Tiny Home is not liable for any customer inconvenience or loss due to payment postponements.
Avatar Tiny Home retains the right to amend payment conditions specified on the invoice. Acceptance of these terms confirms that invoice-specific payment conditions take precedence over any listed herein. The validity of quotes and invoices is confined to the period indicated and may be subject to alterations.
Payment Procedure for Customised Portable Buildings
Our Portable Buildings, tailored to order, come with a production timeline detailed on your invoice, which is subject to change. Accepting these terms indemnifies Avatar Tiny Home against any losses or claims stemming from unexpected production or delivery delays.
A deposit, whose amount and due date are specified on your invoice, is required to confirm your order. Progress payments, detailed on the invoice, must follow upon completion of production, with a 72-hour deadline post-notification. The final payment, outlined on your invoice, is due 14 days after notification of your order's dispatch. Non-compliance with these payment deadlines allows Avatar Tiny Home to reassign products to other customers, without liability for any resulting inconvenience or loss.
Payment Procedure for In Stock Products
Immediate full payment is necessary for in stock items, to allocate stock, including items currently out of stock. Non-fulfillment of this requirement permits Avatar Tiny Home to reallocate these products to other buyers. Successful payment guarantees allocation of the next available item, with Avatar Tiny Home not accountable for any inconvenience or loss due to payment delays.

Cancellation and Modification Terms for Purchasers:
Should a cancellation occur post-receipt of a deposit for items from our standard inventory, Avatar Tiny Home reserves the authority to apply a cancellation or restocking fee, which amounts to 5% of the total bill. For items designated as 'modified or custom' within your provided invoice, cancellation will result in the forfeiture of the entire deposit.

Any changes or cancellations to your order, once agreed upon, may subject you to indemnify us for any resultant losses. This includes covering reasonable and any additional expenses stemming from the modification or cancellation of your order.
