Introduction

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using this website.

By ticking the ‘I accept’ box you agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions.

Buying online

When you place an order on the website by selecting a product or service and following the instructions you are entering into a contract with Vitsœ.

You will have an opportunity to check and correct any input errors in your order up until you click on the ‘Place order’ button.

After you have submitted your order you will receive your payment receipt as an email from us. (Please note that this is an acknowledgement and not an acceptance of your order).

Your credit card issuer, bank or financial institution may charge a fee for your international transaction. We have no control over these fees.

Acceptance of your order and the creation of a legally binding contract between us will only occur when we send you a second email which contains details of how your products will be delivered and, if appropriate, how the installation services will be provided to you. This shall be referred to as the confirmation email.

We reserve the right to decline all or part of any order for whatsoever reason and should this occur we will contact you with these details.

It is recommended that you retain all emails relating to your order and contract. The details of your specific contract are kept on file by us. Should you want any information regarding your contract you may contact us.

Pricing

The price you pay for your order is the price which is displayed on the website. Delivery charges are calculated as part of the checkout process, based on the value of your order.

If we carry out a site visit which indicates that a different mix of products and/or services would be more appropriate for site conditions (if wall type or dimensions differ from those used for initial planning), we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of confirming a revised order at the new price or cancelling the order.

We take payment from your card once you have entered your payment details and have clicked the ‘Place order’ button, subject to card authorization. In the event that we decline your order, we will give you a full refund if we have already taken payment for the products or services.

Availability and dispatch dates

While we aim to be accurate, any availability information or dispatch estimates on the website in relation to products or services are approximate. As we process your order, we will inform you by email if any products or services turn out to be unavailable.

Please understand that we cannot reserve stock, make cabinets or hold installation dates until we have received your payment.

Security and Privacy

All credit and debit card payments that are made on our website are protected by a secure connection. This secure connection ensures that your credit and debit card information is encrypted prior to it being transferred to the bank for authorization.

It is your responsibility to protect your password from being disclosed to any third party.

We take your privacy very seriously. Please read our Privacy policy to see how the personal information that you provide to us is dealt with.

Cancellation of your order

If in doubt, order fewer shelves and add to your system once you know what you need.

We will accept cancellation of your order for items that have not shipped or that are on backorder. If you wish to cancel your order you must call us on 1 (917) 675-6990 or notify us by email at vitsoeusa@vitsoe.com. You will then be entitled to a refund, which will be paid in the same form originally used for the purchase, but in any event within 30 days.

Returns policy and Guarantee

Introduction

If any products are found to be damaged, defective or missing at the time of delivery, you must notify us as soon as possible. You can call us on 1 (917) 675-6990 or notify us by email at vitsoeusa@vitsoe.com.

Missing products

If an item is missing from your order, you must notify us within seven days of delivery. You will not incur an extra delivery charge.

Damaged or incorrect products

If the products are damaged in transit or incorrect, you must notify us within seven days of delivery. We will either replace the damaged or incorrect products or refund the price (including delivery costs) to you.

Faulty products

All our products are sold with a one-year guarantee. This guarantee covers the original goods supplied only. Please see Your guarantee for the terms and conditions of this guarantee. If the products are faulty, then provided the products are returned to us within the one-year guarantee period, we will repair or replace them free of charge. We will also refund your return delivery costs. However, in the event that we find no fault, we reserve the right to return the products to you and to recover the return delivery costs from you.

Color/finishes/materials

Color/finishes/materials may vary slightly depending upon the material. The fronts of beech cabinets will be the same color as ordered shelves (silver, off-white or black).

The beech veneered surfaces of the cabinets, desk shelves and tables are real beech wood. They are not artificial; do not subject to heat or moisture. Beech will darken naturally when first exposed to sunlight; it is therefore advisable to move items on the surfaces during the early months of use.

Beware that electrical equipment (aptops, audio/visual equipment etc) can become very hot in use. If in doubt, put your laptop on a stand, a mat or buy a laminate desk shelf.

Cabinet tops

Cabinet tops are not intended to be load-bearing. Use a shelf immediately above the cabinet for this purpose. We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused to cabinets by overloading.

Refunds

All refunds will be credited using the original payment method.

Shipping and delivery

All orders are dispatched from the United Kingdom. Once your goods have cleared US customs, you will be contacted by our shipping representative to make detailed delivery arrangements.

Please note that our couriers will be able to deliver goods into your home, business or storage facility but they are not responsible for unpacking of items or removal of packing materials.

Installation

The Vitsoe 606 Universal Shelving System is designed to be installed with relative ease. System components are delivered with all necessary fasteners and other specialty hardware for installation, as well as a comprehensive instruction guide.

However, in the New York City area, many customers chose to use our recommended installation specialists. There is a separate fee for their services, however, most people find the charges are good value and our recommended installers highly competent.

Installations may only be scheduled for Monday to Friday, between the hours of 9am and 5pm, and may only be scheduled once a delivery date has been arranged. Please note that our recommended service will not be able to schedule an installation on the same day your goods are to be delivered.

If Vitsœ’s recommended specialists are installing your system, they will require a clear area (preferably 6’ from the wall) in which to work. We ask you to make arrangements to move your possessions, including the unwiring of electrical equipment, as we cannot be held responsible for any damage which may be caused. We cannot undertake any work for you other than installing your shelves. Please note that the installation service is not responsible for removal of packing materials.

The installers will arrive as close to an agreed time as possible. They will install your system efficiently and leave your space in the condition in which we found it. You or your representative will sign to accept that the installation has been completed to your satisfaction.

If the area is not ready for safe working and the installation has to be postponed, or if you need to change an agreed date or time giving less than three working days’ notice, the full installation charge will be imposed, as we are unable to re-deploy our installers at short notice.

If, subsequently, an installation undertaken by Vitsœ’s recommended service is moved or modified in any way by someone else, we shall not be liable for any claim arising in connection with such modifications. We cannot accept responsibility for your workmanship (or your contractor’s). If at any time you are unhappy with your work, we can only rectify mistakes if we re-install in a new position and charge appropriately. While we will attempt to locate any hidden pipes/services that may be behind the wall(s) to which we are attaching, ultimately it is your responsibility to inform us of their location. We cannot be responsible for any damage caused and you will be liable for any costs incurred.

Liability

The shelving system could fail if the instructions contained in our installation and beyond document are not followed precisely. We are unable to accept liability for systems that are not fixed according to our instructions, and reserve the right not to install a system if instructed to omit ceiling fixings.

For compressed systems the ceiling adjusting bolts must always be retightened firmly after the initial loading of shelves, and checked periodically thereafter, especially if the bolt is seen to move in the loose position. Bolts must never be left in the loose position. (See Installation and Beyond).

We are not able to accept liability for the poor condition of walls, floors or ceilings against which the system is installed. Accordingly, we reserve the right not to install your system. If you choose to over-rule our advice, we will be unable to accept any liability for a subsequent failure in your wall/floor/ceiling and/or shelving system.

Systems planned in accordance with information provided by customers are planned contingent on the reliability of the information provided. Information regarding dimensions, wall type, obstructions and other relevant details must be accurate. We cannot accept responsibility for systems planned with inaccurate information. If we discover unforeseen problems when we are installing your system, we may have to recommend changes to your installation that will incur additional costs.

The system must not be used as a ladder and neither can you sit or stand on any part of the system.

All systems must be fully dismantled before being moved. We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused to the system if it is moved while still assembled.

Evolution

As the system evolves, some details may differ from those shown/described on this website or in our literature. Whilst we will attempt to source parts for older components, Vitsœ cannot guarantee that all components or parts will be available.

Amendments of the Terms and Conditions

Export

All the above terms apply to any order to be delivered to the United States. For shipping to the United States, we will charge you the cost of shipping. Within applicable jurisdictions, you may be liable for a payment of use tax in lieu of sales tax. We cannot predict these charges.
