Terms and Conditions

 

(Section 1) On-Line Purchase Terms and Condition

At Floorspace, we wish to make your online shopping experience as easy and flexible as possible. We also understand that when buying online from a picture it does not matter how good the photography is, nothing compares to seeing a product in real life.

For this reason, if you are not happy with the mat or rug  you have  purchased on-line, Floorspace will gladly refund your payment in full (minus shipping cost) or exchange the item/items or issue a store credit that can be used for any items we sell.

When returning items purchased on-line, it is essential that all the items purchased are returned undamaged and in original condition. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure the item/s are wrapped for freighting in a manner that ensures damage does not occur. Damage that does occur during freighting return goods is the responsibility of the client not Floorspace. We highly recommend customers insure items being returned with the freight company being used, as items lost or damaged in transit are not the responsibility of Floorspace and will not be replaced, given store credit or refunded. 

If the product received is faulty or incorrect then a refund is an option. Please note that all Floorspace natural fiber products are hand loomed meaning that it is perfectly normal for some imperfections to be present in the weave and dying. These are in no way classified as faults and do not qualify for a refund. 

Although all items are rolled out and inspected prior to shipping, if you do receive goods containing defects, please ensure  you call our head office (61 3 9882 2477) to report the issue within 48hrs and ensure the item/s are returned within 7 days  of the purchase date. Items received outside of the 7 day return window will not be eligible for a replacement with freighting of the item/s being the customers cost. This return time frame applies to rugs being returned and refunded as well as exchanges and store credits.

Items that are returned will be replaced with the same item only. If the returned item cannot be replaced like for like due stock or discontinued items then a full refund will be offered.  

Any items that are purchased as part of a discounted sale cannot be returned due to their heavily discounted price.
