FLAT Orders Policy

Online Security

To ensure our customers’ safety online, all orders go through security checks before we start processing them. Please keep this in mind while ordering, as there may be a slight delay before processing for a small percentage of orders. If additional information is needed to help ensure the order’s validity, we will communicate via email or telephone.

Price Increases

All items on our website have pricing which may be subject to change. For pending alternate payment orders, we reserve the right to enforce these price increases on orders not paid in full by the specified deadline. In order to ensure that you receive the most accurate pricing on your order, please pay in full prior to the effective date of the increase.

Primary Form of Communication

In order to provide our customers with the most up to date information regarding products and orders, our primary form of communication is via email. All order updates will be sent to the email address used when the order was placed. For this reason, please be sure to use a valid email address when placing your order. If you have questions that need to be directed to our team, you are welcome to contact us via email.

Site Errors – Pricing

All prices are subject to change without notice. In the rare event that a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a website error, Flat will resolve the discrepancy, at our discretion, on all orders placed for the product listed at the incorrect price. This resolution may involve coming to an agreed-upon price with the customer or a cancellation of the order, resulting in a full refund.

Stock Availability

Occasionally, we may temporarily run out of a stocked item due to high demand. Should this occur, we will send you an out-of-stock e-mail within one full working day. You may also contact us to check stock on the items you’re purchasing prior to placing your order.

Cancelling/Modifying an Order

Please contact us immediately should you wish to cancel or modify an order!  An order may be cancelled or modified at no additional charge only prior to the order having been processed by our manufacturers or by our warehouse. If an order has already been processed by our manufacturers or by our warehouse, has been shipped and/or has been received by the Buyer, the order may not be cancelled. Any additional charges incurred as a result of order changes or cancellations, including but not limited to labour costs, costs of material and extra freight charges, are the responsibility of the Buyer.

If we cannot cancel an order that you no longer want or want to modify, please refer to our Returns Policy.

Change of Shipping Address

Please contact us immediately if you would like to ship your order to a different address than you indicated at checkout. Once an order ships, there are fees associated with changing the shipping address that would need to be collected before the change can take effect. The cost of changing the shipping address will depend on the shipping method and number of shipments. If an order has already left our warehouse before the shipping address change is made, we cannot guarantee that it will arrive at the new location. If a carrier tries to deliver a shipment several times and is unsuccessful, your order will be returned to us and treated as a standard return.

RETURNS AND REFUNDS POLICY

We are unable to accept returns or exchanges of product unless it was purchased through www.flattech.com. 

FLAT will fully refund or replace any goods purchased if they are found to be faulty or damaged.

Change of Mind or Incorrect Size

If you change your mind about the products you have ordered or have ordered the incorrect size, your product(s) purchased can be returned to us for a refund or exchange under the following conditions:

  • Products must be in the original, saleable condition and packaging.
  • Products must be sent back within 10 days from original receipt of goods, and your proof of purchase / order information must also be included in the return.
  • Return freight back to FLAT Tech Inc. is the responsibility of the customer and there is a restocking fee on all returns; 20% for commercial customers and 30% for residential customers. 

Failure to meet with these conditions will result in an exchange or refund being denied.

Please note that refunds cannot be processed to expired credit cards.

The total value of the refund will equal the payment made for the goods purchased, excluding freight and any other relevant fees, if any.

Faulty or Defective Product

If you believe the product is faulty/defective in any way, you may request an exchange of the product concerned under the terms of our Warranty.

In order to arrange the return of a faulty or defective product, please contact our Team by emailing [email protected] including your name, telephone number, invoice number and name of product, along with the reason you believe the product is faulty.

Upon receipt of your email, we will email you a return authorisation number and inform you where to send the faulty product.

FLAT will exchange a faulty/defective product if it is found there was a production error. If it is found that the product is faulty, the product will be replaced (the same size and value of the original product ordered) and the exchange shipping will be paid for by FLAT.

If it is found that the product is NOT faulty, the customer will be charged the shipping fees. 

Order Cancellations and Changes

FLAT will endeavour to arrange the dispatch of your order as soon as we receive it. If you have changed your mind about your order and would like to cancel or change it, please email [email protected] as soon as possible, quoting your FLAT order number.  If your order has already entered the dispatch process, unfortunately, it cannot be changed or cancelled.

Incorrect Orders

If you have received your order from FLAT and it is incorrect, please email [email protected] and include your FLAT order number, so that we can arrange to have the correct products sent to you and the incorrect products returned to us.

We will dispatch the correct replacement for any incorrect product within 2 working days of receipt of return of the incorrect products subject to sufficient stock on hand.  Your return must be accompanied with a proof of purchase and the products must be returned in a new, unused and re-saleable condition.

We request customers advise us as soon as possible if their order has been delivered significantly late, damaged or incorrect. If this is the case, please email us at [email protected].

Please note that all claims will be honoured at the discretion of FLAT and we reserve the right to refuse to refund or replace any customer claims when returns are excessive and/or it appears that potentially the policy is being manipulated or abused.

Shipping Policy

Delivery

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the address specified by you, or as close as possible to the date required. We request that you make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the order whenever it is tendered for delivery. Any damages, shortages, over deliveries and duplicated orders should be reported to FLAT within 7 days of receipt of Goods to enable replacement, refund or reprocessing. 

Shipment Damage/Error

Inspect your shipment thoroughly upon delivery and report any damage or errors within 7 days of receipt of package. Replacements for damaged merchandise are at the sole discretion of FLAT and must be reported within 7 days in order to receive replacements. The customer must retain the original packaging in order to receive replacement parts. Photographs of the damaged goods and their original packaging may be requested in order to receive any replacements. Damage caused after receipt of goods by the Customer or Customer’s representative is not covered under any warranty or agreement, and FLAT shall not be responsible for any damage that goods may incur after they have been received by the Customer or Customer’s representative.

Please ensure to provide a valid telephone number and email address during checkout so that your call before delivery does not delay your shipment.

Risk

Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer upon dispatch of the goods. Where the Customer chooses to collect the Goods itself, risk will pass when the Goods are entrusted to it or set aside for its collection, whichever happens first.

Title

Title in the Goods shall pass to the Customer upon receipt of full payment for the goods by FLAT.

Shipping Charges

FLAT generally does not provide for free shipping of any Goods to any location and has sole discretion to select methods of shipment and shipments dates. Should the Customer wish to procure their own means of shipment, the Customer can collect goods at the shipment’s origin location in Davenport, Iowa at the expense of the Customer, whether by the Customer or through the Customer's approved third party.

Refuse Shipment

If Customer choses to refuse shipment of Goods, they may do so. Once Goods have been refused, they are considered Returns and are subject to Flats Returns Policy as noted on this website. No freight charges will be refunded, and the Customer holds sole responsibility for all associated freight charges associated with the Customer’s order.

Force Majeure

Should FLAT be prevented from effecting deliveries of the Goods or any of them by reason of either an act of God/s or nature, insurrection, riot, war hostilities, terror attacks, warlike operations, piracy, arrests, restraints or detainments by any competent authority, strikes or combinations or lock out of workmen, fire, floods, droughts, earthquakes, permanent or temporary delay or inability to obtain labour, material or services through FLAT's usual and regular sources, or any other circumstances (whether of a nature similar to those specified, or not) beyond the absolute control of the FLAT, then, in each such cases, the obligation of FLAT to effect deliveries hereunder shall be suspended until after such prevention shall cease to continue.

Should any deliveries under this Contract be suspended under this clause for more than 90 days, either party may withdraw from this Contract and be relieved from any liability; provided however, that the Customer shall nevertheless accept delivery and pay for such Goods once FLAT is able to deliver in accordance with the period(s) of shipment named in this Contact.

FLAT shall not be held liable for, and be relieved from, any loss or damages of any kind resulting from the causes mentioned herein above.
