🛋️ SofaLine Returns, Refunds & Warranty Policy
1. Order Cancellations & Non-Defective Returns
Standard Online Orders: You have a 7-day "cooling-off" period from delivery/collection to return standard, unused items in their original packaging.
Return Costs: For non-defective returns, the customer is responsible for original delivery fees, collection fees, and a handling fee of up to 15% if the packaging is opened.
Cancellation Fee: If you cancel a processed online order before dispatch, a 5% deduction applies to cover payment gateway transaction fees.
Inspection Exclusions: We do not accept returns if you inspected the furniture in-store prior to purchase and simply changed your mind.
2. Custom-Made Furniture Policy
Because custom orders are tailormade to your specific dimensions, fabric, and color choices, resources are locked in immediately upon production.
No Standard Refunds: Once production begins, custom orders cannot be fully refunded.
Cancellation/Return Penalty: If you cancel a custom order or wish to return a non-defective custom piece, a 35% cancellation fee of the total order value will be deducted from your refund.
3. Damaged or Defective Deliveries
Visible Damage: Inspect your furniture upon arrival. If it is visibly damaged, reject the delivery immediately, note the damage on the delivery slip, and contact SofaLine support.
Concealed Damage: If damage is discovered after delivery, it must be reported with photographic evidence within 24 hours. Reports made after 48 hours will be deemed post-delivery damage.
Customer Assembly: SofaLine is not liable for any damage caused during self-assembly, including the unauthorized use of power tools.
4. Warranty & CPA Compliance
In line with sections 20 and 56 of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), your furniture carries an implied warranty against manufacturing defects for 6 months from delivery.
Remedies: If a product is assessed and proven defective, you have the right to a Repair, Replacement, or Refund.
Domestic Use Only: Warranties apply strictly to standard domestic use. Structural failure due to commercial use, severe misuse, structural alterations, or exposure to elements (rust, mold, flood, or fire) is not covered.
False Claims: If an item is collected for inspection and found not to be defective, the customer will be liable for all transport costs plus a minimum 8% administration fee.
5. Custom Delivery Scheduling & Deposit Forfeiture
3-Week Hold: Upon the first attempt to schedule your delivery, if we cannot reach you or confirm a date, we will hold your furniture for a maximum of 3 weeks.
Automatic Cancellation: If delivery is not confirmed after 3 weeks, the order is automatically canceled.
Deposits: Your cash deposit becomes non-refundable after this 3-week period, but the remaining balance will be issued to you as a SofaLine store voucher.
6. Refund Processing Times
Approved refunds are processed back to the original payment method (bank account or credit card).
Quality control assessments take up to 3 working days.
Refund administration takes up to 7 working days to process, and an additional 5 working days to reflect in your account.
