Luxury Handmade Beds

Guarantee

What is guaranteed?

At Soneca we provide you with a free 3 Year Guarantee when you purchase a new bed frame, headboard, and blanket box.

For our range of mattresses we offer a 100 Nights Peace of Mind trial and 1 year guarantee.

Our Guarantee means that we will repair or replace any part of a defective product due to faulty materials free of charge within the guarantee period.

Our Guarantee covers only structural defects and manufacturing faults. It does not cover fabric damage or wear.

There are some important additional conditions and exclusions to the guarantee which are set out below.

When your delivery arrives, please check everything carefully and contact our customer services team as soon as possible to let us know if there are any issues.

Where does the guarantee apply?

We offer the 3 Year Guarantee to all customers purchasing our products (excluding mattresses) who are resident in, and have had the product delivered to an address, in Great Britain. The Guarantee does not apply when the product(s) are taken outside of Great Britain.

The Guarantees are non-transferable and only apply to the original purchaser

What is excluded from the Guarantee?

The guarantee does not cover the following,

  • Damage through misuse, abuse or deliberate/wilful damage.
  • Accidental damage or damage through negligence by you or any third party
  • Product that has been assembled or stored incorrectly (e.g. damp or in direct sunlight).
  • The cracking of wood due to extreme changes in room humidity or direct heat source (such as air conditioning and radiators)
  • Normal wear and tear including staining, excessive soiling (we recommend using a mattress protector), interior settlement and flattening.
  • Dye transfer from non-colourfast plastics, fabrics and clothing (including denims and throws) damage or delamination through contact with hair and body products, or other cosmetic applications such as tanning lotions.
  • Damage through failure to follow the assembly instructions given with the product on or after delivery.
  • Any item where alteration or repairs have been carried out, except by us.
  • Failure to follow the terms of these guarantees. In particular, proof of purchase of the product in question is the responsibility of the customer, and needs to be provided by the customer (see How to make a Claim below)
  • Items purchased as ‘Clearance’.
  • Soneca products are intended for domestic and private use only. These guarantees only apply to transactions with consumers. These guarantees do not apply in any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, and we have no liability to you for any consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. Our liability is limited to the order value at the time of purchase.

How do I make a claim on the Guarantee?

If you want to make a claim,

  • Contact our customer service team by email quoting your order / reference number.  We will contact you for further details
  • If you would like us to discuss your queries with another person, you’ll need to give us permission to speak to them.
  • We may ask you to send us some photographs of the issue so we can assess the possible problem.
  • We reserve the right to send an inspector from an independent company to inspect the product and the nature of the complaint. We will abide by the decision of the inspector.
  • Where a repair or replacement is possible then we will do so at our discretion.
  • We’ll try our best to exactly match fabrics when replacing the product.
  • If repair or replacement is not possible we’ll offer you the chance to pick an equivalent product. If this is more expensive you’ll need to make up the difference. If it’s cheaper, we’ll give you a refund of the difference.
  • If we decide we cannot economically repair or replace your product then we will reimburse you up to the value of the purchase price with such reimbursement reduced to take into account the use of the product since delivery. Please note that if your product forms part of an order (for instance a mattress and bed frame) we will only reimburse you for the product that we have confirmed as having a defect within the terms of the guarantee.
  • Should we repair or replace your product under any of our guarantees, then the repaired or replaced product will not have a new guarantee in itself but will instead enjoy the benefit of the remaining term of any original guarantee.
