How binding are delivery periods?
We make every attempt to keep agreed delivery periods. Delays in delivery do not entitle the customer to withdraw from the contract or make a claim for replacement for any damages arising from such delay. The delivery period begins on the date on which all qualitative and technical details have been definitely settled.
Are samples available?
In special cases and only after making special arrangements can products be made available on a trial basis for a maximum of 60 days. Goods not returned within this period will be considered sold and invoiced.
Can goods be returned?
With the exception of merchandise declared to be a sample, there is no right of return. Returns are only accepted after a previous written agreement has been concluded subject to the goods being shipped back franco domicile with a copy of the delivery note. Credit notes for returned goods are not remitted but instead are set off against billed amounts for other merchandise. Custom orders as well as items ordered for the customer cannot be accepted as returned goods.
How long will it take for my replacement parts to be shipped?
The following periods serve as a guideline for replacement parts:
Replacement parts in stock: Shipment within 24 hrs
Replacement parts (metal parts not in stock):
Shipment within 1 week
Padding (e.g. cushions): Shipment within 2 weeks Furniture parts (repairs): Shipment within 4 weeks Expedited orders: Same day for parts in stock, all other parts by arrangement.
How do you handle changes to orders?
Changes to an order are only possible within the first 5 days after order confirmation; however, this will delay delivery by approx. 2 weeks. Any other costs resulting from changes to the order will be charged based on expenses incurred. Custom orders cannot be changed. Cancellation of order places the customer under the obligation of paying for all expenses and costs incurred.
How do you deal with production modification?
We reserve the right to make technical, pricing and design modifications to the products presented and described in our sales material.
What is the warranty period?
We provide 5 years warranty for all SITAG products. The decisive factor is the SITAG label which is affixed to all furniture items. Damage which can be shown to result from improper use do not fall under warranty cover. We will remedy any warranty deficiencies at no charge. To the extent that repairs are possible, the right to reimbursement (money back) or a reduction in the purchase price shall be excluded. Components subject to wear and tear such as casters or gas springs shall be covered under warranty to the extent that each manufacturer accepts this.
What is your policy for plans and technical documentation?
Plans, configurations, drawings and other documents forming part of an offer shall remain the property of SITAG AG. They must not be copied, disclosed to third parties or used for purposes other than those specified when passed on to a third party. All documents must be returned to us upon request.
How long are offers valid?
Brochures and catalogues are not binding unless an agreement in this regard is entered into. Offers with a specific period of validity are binding. Otherwise, validity shall be 90 days after the date an offer is issued.
Do you have Terms of Sale and Delivery?
The conditions for SITAG AG’s General Terms of Sale and Delivery shall apply exclusively to all material deliveries. These Terms of Sale and Delivery are acknowledged upon placement of an order. Deviations, oral agreements or terms and conditions of the customer shall only be legally binding if they have been confirmed by SITAG AG in writing. SITAG AG reserves the right to make any changes and improvement to its products at any time without further notice in accordance with the state of the art. Obvious errors such as spelling, invoicing or in addition shall not be binding. We reserve the right to modify prices.
