Aftersales service and warranty

Introduction

Luckily for You and for Us, Our Goods have gone through extreme stress tests during development. However, failures may happen and if they do, We are here to back you up.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR THE GOODS WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM US. DISASSEMBLING OR REMOVING PARTS FROM THE GOODS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER CAN DAMAGE THE GOODS WITHOUT THE RIGHT INSTRUCTIONS. UNAUTHORIZED REPAIR OR ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR WILL VOID YOUR RIGHTS TOWARDS US FOR FAULTY GOODS.

Replacement parts

Subject to authorization by Us, ref Clause “Aftersales service and warranty/Introduction” above, defective parts of the Goods can be replaced by You provided by Our instructions. 

Replacement parts can be identified by providing Us with the serial number of the Goods. Provided the defective part is returned, replacement parts may, under certain circumstances be free of charge.

Limited warranty

We provide an extra warranty for certain Goods as listed on the Website. The length of the warranty differs from Goods to Goods as indicated on the Website, and is limited to 10 years from the delivery date of the Goods. All electronics are limited to 5 years. In order to utilize the warranty, a presentation of the original sales receipt is required. This is only valid for residential use.

For commercial use, we provide a 2-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
Items are designed for residential use and are not made for commercial applications.

Please see more about Our warranty here.

Company refusal and cancelation right

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel Your Order at any time for certain reasons including but not limited to:

  • Goods availability
  • Errors in the description or prices for Goods
  • Errors in Your Order

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel Your Order if fraud or an unauthorized or illegal transaction is suspected.

Customer order cancellation right

If you cancel your order after we have processed and fulfilled your order, we will keep the same regulations as for normal returns where we will deduct the same costs for your refund.

If you have made the order and we have fulfilled it, we encourage you to receive it, test the product, and then make your decision.

Return Policy

Any Goods you purchase can only be returned in accordance with these Terms.

Your right to return Goods applies only to Goods that are returned in the same condition as You received them. You should also include all of the product instructions, documents, and wrappings. Goods that are damaged or not in the same condition as You received them or that are worn simply beyond opening the original packaging will not be refunded. 

Returns that do not fulfill those requirements will be shipped back at the customer’s expense, or we will deduct a percentage of the refund. The returned goods will be closely checked for completeness and possible damages before we make the refund. You should therefore take reasonable care of the purchased Goods while they are in Your possession.

We will reimburse You no later than 14 days from the day on which We receive the returned Goods. We will use the same means of payment as You used for the Order, and You will not incur any fees for such reimbursement.

You will not have any right to return any of the following Goods:

  • The supply of Goods made to Your specifications or clearly personalized.
  • The supply of Goods which are, after delivery, according to their nature, inseparably mixed with other items.
  • The supply of Goods is not in the same condition as you received.
  • The supply of Goods does not contain all accessories, instructions, and wrappings. 

In order for a return to be valid within our return policies, it must be dispatched within the time period that starts running when you receive (when the first delivery attempt was made or when the package was ready for pick up) your order.

Damages on returned products

If the product(s) you are returning is damaged in any way, please take pictures of scratches, dents, and other damages and send them to us in advance. We will charge you for the damages and labor costs related to checking the product if there are damages. Our hourly rates are EUR 79,- + taxes. 

Custom charges for non-DDP shipments are not refundable and you will need to apply directly with the local customs in the original destination country to get a tax refund.  Please contact sales@arendalsound.com in advance regarding any returns to be accepted and Arendal Sound will handle all returns with our carrier, from our side.

Return costs

We offer free returns for mainland Europe, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, but we require using our choice of carrier so we can handle the VAT refund for your return. This will be the most convenient way for you. If you, for some reason, are sending the product back via your own choice of carrier, we will not be able to deduct the customs fees (if any). We do not refund shipping fees, if any.

For other DDP countries, we have to charge shipping and restocking fees.
