Guarantee

When you purchase any of our products that are covered by our warranty terms, a warranty of three years applies from the day you received the products. Should you discover defects in your products, please contact our Customer Service. If the defect is covered by the warranty, we will remedy the defect or, if we deem this not possible, deliver new similar products that replace the ones that you have ordered. If we are unable to remedy the defect or deliver new similar products as the ones you originally ordered, we will deliver equivalent products to you or refund the amount you have paid for the products. We pay for any shipping costs. Returns are handled by the delivery carrier used by us.

For the warranty to apply, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

The products must only have been exposed to normal use in a home environment.
The products must have been handled in accordance with our Care Guide, which means that you must have washed the products at specified temperatures, you should not have placed the products in sunlight and you should not have used dryers, bleach, stain removers or the like. Our Care Guide can be read here. You can also find our Care Guide on our website under the tab "Care Guide".

What is not included by the warranty?

General wear and tear and pilling over time
Cuts, rips and breakages caused by improper use, accidents, or incorrect installation.
Fading/discolouration or shrinkage caused by lack of or incorrect care in accordance to Bemz Care Guide
Fading/discolouration caused by sunlight
Natural changes in surface colour over time on wooden products as wood is a living material
A warranty is not offered on repaired/replacement product where the warranty has already been used. Instead this item will be covered by the general right of complaint.

What will Bemz do to remedy the defect?

When you report a defect, Bemz Customer Service will investigate it, and assess whether it is covered by the warranty. We will decide whether the defect can be repaired, partially replaced, or fully replaced. Bemz will assess and decide what a suitable replacement product could be.
If the faulty product was originally purchased from our Outlet, we cannot offer a replacement as our Outlet products are ‘unique items’ that have already been made. We will offer a repair or partial/full refund.
Bemz will cover the costs for the repair or replacement of the partial or full item, including the shipping fees to the country where the original item was delivered.

Our preferred suppliers

We recommend that you return the products by using the same delivery carrier that we used to deliver the products to you and that you follow the instructions that you find on our website under the tab "FAQ". If you use this delivery carrier, we pay the shipping costs for defected products. We can also track the package with the defected products. If you choose another delivery carrier, you will have to pay the shipping costs for returning defected products. You are also responsible for loss or damage to the products that occurs during transportation to us. We recommend that you keep the receipt from the delivery carrier and the tracking number if available.
