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.
