§ 9 Warranty:

9.1. Claims based on defects in the delivered goods shall be governed by the applicable legal provisions, to the exception that any claims for damages relating to defects shall be subject exclusively to section 10 Liability.

Select Interior World does not itself warranty the products we sell.

Most products sold on select-interiorworld.com are backed by a manufacturer, but we do assist you in resolving issues during the warranty period. If you experience problems with any product you purchased that offers a manufacturer warranty, please contact the Customer Service. We will either facilitate a resolution or put you in contact with the manufacturer so that they might assist you directly.

9.2. If you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply:

• A marginal defect shall generally not constitute claims for defects.
• For used goods, rights and claims for defects are generally excluded.
• The limitation period shall not recommence if a replacement delivery is carried out within the scope of liability for defects.

You are obligated to exercise due diligence while promptly checking the goods for qualitative and quantitative deviations, and to inform us in text form (e.g., e-mail) of apparent defects within a period of 7 days after receipt of the goods. The term limit shall be considered to have been complied with if a timely dispatch was executed. This also applies to hidden defects that are detected at a later stage (from the time of discovery onwards). Warranty claims cannot be raised if the obligation to inspect and the obligation to give notice of defects are not fulfilled.

In case of defects, we honour the warranty in a manner of our choosing, i.e. either by rectifying the defects or delivering a replacement. If the defect rectification procedure fails twice, you can either demand a reduction or withdraw from the contract. In case of a rectification of defects, we do not have to bear the increased costs that arise as a result of moving the product in question to a location other than the place of delivery, provided that the movement does not correspond to the intended use of the product.

The warranty period amounts to a period of one year after the delivery of the product. The shortened warranty period does not apply to culpably caused damage from injury to life, limb or health and claims due to gross negligence or intentionally caused damage and malicious intent.

Keep in mind that select-interiorworld.com is not liable for any indirect, special, consequential or incidental damages including, without limitation, lost profits or revenues, costs of replacement goods, loss or damage to goods or services arising out of the use or inability to use this site or any product purchased from select-interiorworld.com, damages resulting from use of or reliance on the information present, even if select-interiorworld.com or its suppliers have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Please contact the our Customer Service if you have any questions.

§10 Defective Goods:

Products with factory defects or missing parts:

We ask that you report any product defects.

Please be patient with our tech support team and with any manufacturer representatives who ask to work with you to accurately diagnose the problem, and please understand that returned items that are found to be in working condition may not be eligible for a refund or may be subject to a restocking fee.

Replacements are sent free of charge and we will cover any return shipping costs and the shipping of the replacement product. We will send you return instructions accordingly. Do not discard the defective product until you have received instructions from select-interiorworld.com. Failure to return the defective product or failure to send pictures when we ask for them may result in delays and there may be a charge for the replacement item and we would all like to avoid this.

select-interiorworld.com is not responsible for reimbursement of any labor costs or project delays that may occur due to the receipt of defective goods.

Please contact the our Customer Service if you have any questions.

§ 11 Liability:

The seller shall be liable for any contractual claims and for claims of liability in tort regarding damages and effort compensation as follows:

We accept unlimited liability for damage caused by intent or gross negligence. Our liability for breaches by ordinary negligence of any major obligations or secondary obligations whose breach puts the achievement of the contractual purpose at risk or whose fulfillment is essential to the due and proper performance of the contract and whose fulfillment the customer could reasonably rely upon ("essential obligation"), shall be limited to foreseeable damage characteristics for the contract. When it comes to the violation of inessential contractual obligations, no liability shall be assumed if the situation in question involves violations of obligations associated with light negligence.

Nothing in this shall prejudice our liability in the event of fraudulent concealment of defects or a guarantee as to quality, for claims based on the Product Liability Act, and for damage caused by injury to life, limb or health. This shall not entail a reversal of the burden of proof to the customer’s disadvantage.

For the rest, the seller's liability is excluded.
The aforementioned provisions on liability apply also to the seller's liability regarding his legal representatives and vicarious agents.

§12 Force Majeure:

Neither party shall be held liable or responsible to the other party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement when such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected party, including but not limited to fire, floods, failure of communications systems or networks, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war is declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, acts of God or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any governmental authority or the other party; provided, however, that the party so affected shall use reasonable commercial efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance, and shall continue performance hereunder with reasonable dispatch whenever such causes are removed. Either party shall provide the other party with prompt written notice of any delay or failure to perform that occurs by reason of force majeure. The parties shall mutually seek a resolution of the delay or the failure to perform as noted above.

§13 Governing Law, Place of Fulfillment, Jurisdiction:

All legal disputes arising out of or in connection with a purchase contract shall be governed exclusively by Austrian law.

This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).

If you are a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfillment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Austria or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.

The terms of the UN sales convention for the International Sale of Goods do not apply here and are expressly excluded.

If any provision is invalid, nothing in this shall prejudice the validity of the remaining provisions hereof.
