YOU CAN DEPEND ON US. OUR PRODUCTS. OUR SERVICES. OUR PEOPLE.

This Consumer warranty applies exclusively to products purchased by Consumers from Steelcase or from Steelcase Authorized Reseller. This warranty applies only to products delivered in Europe, except for the countries where a specific warranty is in place. Without prejudice to the legal warranties provided under national law, Steelcase S.A.S. ("Steelcase") warrants that Steelcase® brand products are free from defects in materials or workmanship for the applicable warranty period (depending on the Steelcase product as set out below) and with the exceptions and exclusions set forth out below. This warranty is valid from the date of delivery to the original End User and is transferable for the remaining period of the warranty. End User means the Consumer acquiring a product from Steelcase or a Steelcase Authorized Reseller for its own use and not for resale, remarketing or distribution. This warranty continues to be valid if the product is moved from the original country of purchase solely to another country of the European Union, to United Kingdom or Switzerland and ceases to be valid if the product has been moved in any country or region other than the ones mentioned before. Steelcase will repair or replace with comparable product, at its option and free of charge (for materials and components) any product, part or component which fails under normal use. If repair or replacement is not commercially practicable, Steelcase will provide a refund or credit for the affected product.

Article L 217-4 of the French Consumer Code: "The seller is required to deliver goods that conform to the contract and is responsible for any defects in conformity that exist at the time of delivery.

Article L 217-5 of the French Consumer Code: "To be in conformity with the contract, the goods must: 1° Be suitable for the use normally expected of similar goods and, where applicable: - correspond to the description given by the seller and possess the qualities that the seller has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model; - have the qualities that a buyer may legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by the seller, the producer or his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling; 2° Or have the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or be fit for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the seller's attention and accepted by him."

This period runs from the date of the buyer's request for intervention or from the time the item in question is made available for repair, if this availability is subsequent to the request for intervention.”

Article 1641 of the French Civil Code: "The seller is bound by the warranty for latent defects in the thing sold which render it unfit for the purpose for which it was intended, or which diminish this use to such an extent that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have paid a lower price for it, if he had known of them.”
