We will seek compensation from the carrier and complete the delivery at no extra cost to you. Legislation states that this must be done within reasonable time which is normally interpreted that you should contact us within 10 days after you have received the delivery of the damaged product.

Goods rarely arrive damaged but speedy action helps all parties to sort the problem out without delay. We will respond and advise what course of action must be taken in these circumstances.

FRUGSON is not responsible for delay or failure to perform if the delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control including but not limited to acts of war or terror, strikes, national or local states of emergency, failure of transportation facilities, power or utility outages, earthquakes, or other natural disasters.

Prices are stated in SEK and are inclusive VAT at the current rates and are correct at the time of entering the information onto the system.

FRUGSON will have to charge sales tax where required by law. If you are ordering from territories where sales tax is charged, appropriate charges will be added and displayed in your order confirmation.

The total cost of your order is the price of the products ordered plus delivery charges as set out in shipping information.

FRUGSON offers free handling on orders. There are no administrative charges or charges for the use of credit/debit card or e-commerce payment in the purchase.

Payment must be done by credit/debit cards or through certified e-commerce payment service providers such as PayPal. If you pay by credit/debit cards you must supply your payment card details when you place your order. All credit and debit card purchases are subject to validation and credit checks. Note that your credit card may not be accepted if the name on the credit card does not match the billing name given, or the billing address given does not match the bank records.

Your payment card will be charged when you place your order. The amount will be reserved for 24 hours, and then charged if we haven’t received a cancellation of your order.

FRUGSON will not ship the items to you until your card issuer has authorized the use of your card for payment of the ordered products. As your FRUGSON order confirmation is your proof of purchase, we recommend that you save and print that document for your potential future use.

All items remain the property of FRUGSON until paid for in full.

FRUGSON products are guaranteed against all manufacturing or material defects for the warranty period as defined and set out according to your domestic legal definition. FRUGSON products are fully warranted to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship.

If a product fails due to a manufacturing or material defect, we will replace or repair it without charge, at our option. This warranty does not include product failures resulting from accidents, misuse, improper care, or normal wear and tear. Please note that fading of the natural materials and the garment is normal and may occur over extended periods of time due to the colour, design and individuality of all FRUGSON products.

If you want to make a claim under the warranty, contact us at [email protected] with your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, the original order number as per your order confirmation, photos of the product defect and a description of the product defect.

In case of withdrawal the benefits received for both parties are to be returned. A withdrawal is only possible if the products are still in the same state as when received. If the goods have been used the right of withdrawal is no longer valid. This does not apply if the goods were only tested and checked for damages, or tried out in the same manner as would have happened in a store when considering a purchase.

Returns should be made in the original, undamaged packaging. We recommend returning the goods by registered/insured post as we will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred whilst returns are held by third parties. Refunds will be made once the items are received by FRUGSON and a confirmation e-mail will be sent advising the refund amount.

FRUGSON reserve the right to withhold a percentage of the refund value of returned goods if the product or packaging is in such a condition that the item needs to be reduced in price for resale. We will only refund the card from which the original payment was made. Please note that it usually takes 48 hours to appear on your card statement. Please also note that in rare cases it can take up to 14 days.

Please note that refunds cannot be given on unwanted bespoke items i.e. upholstery and custom made products, so-called special order items.

According to swedish regulations, customers making purchases from online stores are entitled to return the goods without stating a reason by sending back the goods or a written withdrawal within 14 calendar days counted from the day after you received delivery. This excludes products considered special orders, meaning they have been ordered for a particular customer and are not held in stock.

Please note that all our upholstered products are custom made. None of the FRUGSON products are held in stock, but all furniture is specially made for the particular customer after an order has been placed.

Therefore, these orders do not have a 14-day returns option. It is up to the customer to ensure that they are satisfied with the product specification before ordering.
