Returns policy

This policy sets out when and how SIA "F Grupa" accepts claims and returns or replaces purchased goods: tent hangars, reinforced concrete cellars and rubber mats. It does not limit any rights the buyer has under the laws of the Republic of Latvia.

Goods can be returned, replaced or repaired only if they are defective or do not conform to the contract. Goods that are of proper quality and match the order are not taken back. This applies to all of our products.
The exception is the consumer right of withdrawal for standard goods bought under a distance contract. See “Consumer right of withdrawal”.

How a confirmed defect is resolved

- If repair or replacement is impossible, disproportionate or not done within a reasonable time, the buyer may request a price reduction or terminate the contract and get their money back.
- If the defect is confirmed, we cover the costs of transport, labour and materials.
Consumer right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer (a private individual buying for purposes unrelated to business) and the contract was concluded at a distance, for example by email, phone or on the website, you may withdraw from the contract within 14 days of receiving the goods without giving a reason. We refund the amount paid within 14 days of receiving your notice. The buyer bears the direct cost of returning the goods.
The right of withdrawal does not apply to
- Tent hangars made or configured to the buyer’s dimensions and specification
- Reinforced concrete cellars made to an individual order
- Rubber mats cut or made to the buyer’s dimensions
- Installation and construction services fully performed with the consumer’s consent before the withdrawal period ends
The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts concluded in person on our premises or to purchases by legal entities.
For legal entities
If the buyer is a legal entity or buys the goods for business purposes, the goods must be inspected on receipt. Visible damage, missing items or non-conformity must be noted on the delivery note or handover certificate and reported to us immediately. The periods in this policy apply to hidden defects.
Dispute resolution
We first try to resolve any dispute through negotiation. If no agreement is reached, the dispute is resolved under the laws of the Republic of Latvia.
