5. Manners of delivery

Further information on manners of delivery can be found at the following address: Modes of delivery. The cost of delivery will vary, depending on the manner of delivery, and this shall be shown when placing an order.

As a rule, products ordered for delivery by post are sent on the next workday following the order at the latest. No delivery charge is levied for online orders that are collected from a retail shop. Due to limited availability, pick-up orders may include products that the retailer does not have in stock immediately. Such product replenishments will be delivered to the retailer from the main warehouse generally within 1–5 workdays, depending on the retailer’s replenishment order cycle, locality and transport schedules. 

The Vendor shall not be held liable for any delay resulting from circumstances beyond its control (force majeure).

If the availability of a single product is poor, or if there is a delay in its delivery for reasons independent of the Vendor, the Vendor shall not be under obligation to reserve other products of the same order for the customer. The customer may accept either post-delivery of the delayed product or cancellation of the order. Postal charges for a post-delivery will be charged in the normal way. Ordered products shall be reserved for no more than 7 days, after which the order will be cancelled, unless the customer has given consent to post-delivery.

6. Right of return / cancellation (consumers)

Under the Consumer Protection Act, a consumer has the right, after placing a distance selling order, to cancel it or any part of it within 14 days of receiving the shipment. The customer should provide a separate notice of such a cancellation to the Vendor. For a cancellation, it will not be sufficient to merely return the goods or fail to pick up the shipment. The product should be returned within 14 days of writing the cancellation notice. The IKH pick-up point retains the consignments for 14 days from arrival at the pick-up point.

The customer will be credited for the original price of the product and the original shipping costs less the return fee if the customer has used the customer return service provided by the Vendor via Posti. The product may be returned free of charge to the retail store indicated on the order confirmation.

The customer shall be held responsible for inspection of the contents of the shipment within 14 days, and before taking the product into use, for becoming familiar with its instructions and terms of use.

Returns should comply with the return instructions included in the shipment. These can also be found at the following address: Product returns, order cancellation

7. Guarantee and liability for lack of conformity

The guarantee shall apply to material and manufacturing faults that may appear in the product during the guarantee period. Product-specific guarantee periods can be found on the website in connection with product specifications.

The Vendor reserves the right to verify reported product defects. Charges for unfounded service visits shall be levied in their entirety from the buyer if the product has clearly been delivered for after-sales service without cause.

8. Notices of defect

A notice of defect with respect to an order shall be made to the Vendor. In connection with the return or notice of a product defect, the customer shall be under obligation to submit a certificate of purchase, receipt or some other proof of the time and place of purchase. The Vendor reserves the right to levy the charges incurred in a receipt search, from the buyer.

Notices of defects shall be processed in writing only to verkkokauppa@ikh.fi.

If a dispute concerning a sales contract cannot be resolved through negotiation between the parties, the consumer can submit the matter to the Consumer Disputes Board for resolution.

Before taking the matter to the Consumer Disputes Board, the consumer should contact the Consumer Advisory Service.

A consumer/customer has the right to bring any difference arising from this agreement for settlement by the Consumer Disputes Board. The customer may take legal action against the Vendor regarding any dispute arising from this debt relationship either in the domicile of the Vendor or at the district court of the locality in Finland that is the customer’s place of residence. If the customer does not have a place of residence in Finland, disputes shall be heard at the Southern Ostrobothnia District Court.

Because assistance for settling differences is offered by Customer Advisory Services and the Consumer Disputes Board free of charge, no agent’s fees will be reimbursed.
