Clients need to familiarize themselves with the terms and conditions of the respective vendors. DIAB cannot be held liable for clients’ failure to comply with the return policy of the respective suppliers.
While we work hard with our vendors to make sure that items displayed on DIAB are available, from time to time our vendors may discontinue a product line prior to notifying us. Based on this fact, we understand that you may be buying a collection of products, but we can’t guarantee that every item in the collection will be available. If you purchase a group of products through DIAB, and the item is out of stock or discontinued, we will provide you with a store credit or a full refund for the specific product at your election.
We cannot accept returns or issue refunds for any other reason.
You have the right to cancel your purchase of design services for a full refund (less any applicable PayPal, bank or credit card charges or fees), except that such right shall expire upon the earlier of (i) the seventh (7) calendar day after the date of purchase, or (ii) the date on which the DIAB begins receiving your personal submissions (e.g. room photos, room measurements, inspirational photos).
