Terms of sale

The small print, kept short.

Who you're buying from

Pleat is designed and made by porous.systems, a trading name of Vitgranen AB.

These terms apply when you, as a consumer, buy from us at pleat.porous.systems. By placing an order you accept them. Swedish consumer law applies, and nothing here limits the rights it gives you.

Orders and prices

Payment

Payments are handled by Stripe. You can pay by card, with Klarna, or with a wallet such as Apple Pay, depending on your device; checkout shows what's available. We never see or store your card details. Card payments are charged when you order; Klarna's own terms apply if you choose Klarna.

Delivery

Each lamp is printed to order in the colours you chose. We dispatch within 7 working days and send you an email with tracking when it leaves us. Delivery then usually takes 1–3 working days. If we can't dispatch within that time we'll tell you, and you may cancel for a full refund. Under Swedish law, delivery must happen no later than 30 days after your order unless we agree otherwise.

The lamp is your responsibility once you, or someone you've chosen, has received it. Please check the parcel when it arrives and tell us about any damage from transport as soon as you can.

Changing your mind

You have 14 days to withdraw from your purchase without giving a reason. Choosing colours from our range doesn't take this right away. Returns and withdrawal explains how it works, and you can withdraw from your purchase here.

Faults and complaints

If your lamp is faulty, you have the right to complain (reklamera) under the Swedish Consumer Sales Act (konsumentköplagen) for three years after you receive it. A fault that appears within two years is presumed to have been there from the start, unless we can show otherwise. Tell us within a reasonable time after you notice the fault; within two months is always in time.

Email order@porous.systems with a short description and a photo. Depending on the fault we'll repair it, replace the part or the lamp, or give you a price reduction or a refund. We pay the cost of sending a faulty lamp back to us.

Pleat is a printed object: tiny layer lines, slight variations in colour between batches and a visible seam along the pleats are part of how it's made, and aren't faults.

Product safety

Assembly takes a few minutes: fill the base with sand through the hole underneath and screw in the plug, thread the lock ring onto the socket, push the socket up through the base, lay the cord in the groove underneath, and screw the shade on.

Your personal data

We only use your details to deliver your order, keep our accounts and answer you. Our privacy policy has the details.

If we can't agree

Get in touch first. We'd much rather sort it out with you directly. If we can't agree, you can take the matter to the National Board for Consumer Disputes (Allmänna reklamationsnämnden, ARN), Box 174, 101 23 Stockholm, arn.se. We follow ARN's recommendations. Disputes can also be decided by a Swedish general court.
