SEBO AMERICA INTERNET SALES TAX POLICY
- Sales to Out-of-State Customers: SEBO AMERICA collects sales taxes on transactions based on applicable state laws.
- Sales to Resellers: Sales taxes are not collected on transactions made to retail resellers who provide SEBO AMERICA with a valid Resale Tax Certificate, whether they are located within or outside the state of Colorado.
- Sales to Tax-Exempt Organizations: Sales taxes are not collected on transactions made to organizations that provide proof of their tax-exempt status. Tax-exempt customers must contact SEBO AMERICA Customer Service at 800-334-6614 and provide state-specific proof of their tax-exempt status. The organization name on the order must match exactly with the state tax-exempt certificate. Federal tax exemption certificates are not accepted.
- Sales to Colorado Residents: SEBO AMERICA collects sales tax on transactions made to customers residing within the state of Colorado who do not have a valid Resale Tax Certificate or do not represent a tax-exempt organization. The applicable Colorado sales tax rates are determined based on the shipping address, and taxes are applied to the invoice total, including freight charges. Colorado buyers receive invoices that clearly show the sales taxes collected.

Packages are normally delivered within five business days after shipment.

PRIVACY POLICY
SEBO America's Privacy Policy is simple: We are committed to keeping your online
transactions and any other type of business transaction with SEBO safe and private.
The privacy of your personal and financial information is just as important to SEBO
as it is to you. Any customer information SEBO collects is used solely to identify
you and maintain accurate records. SEBO will not sell, release or distribute its
customer data or lists to third parties.
WARRANTY REPAIR PROCEDURE
SEBO America or an authorized dealer must approve and provide all warranty
work. SEBO’s customer service phone number is 800-334-6614 and
representatives are available Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm MST, or such repair
requests can be e-mailed to [email protected].
Customer service is available to advise you on self-help (such as clog removal)
or to arrange any repair services. SEBO machines are designed to be easy to maintain,
so most "problems" can be resolved over the phone or by watching SEBO's How-to Videos
available on this website. Before phoning SEBO for service, please ensure that you
have checked for clogs, fitted a new bag, replaced dirty filters and cleaned the
brush roller. If you still need to contact SEBO, please have your serial number
(found on the underneath side of the power head), name of dealer, and date of purchase
details available. Without proof of purchase, repairs may be chargeable.
SEBO's repair procedure is easy and convenient. Repairs that are covered under warranty
are done free of charge, and SEBO even pays related freight costs. For machines
that are not covered under warranty, SEBO charges customers very reasonable repair
fees, plus associated freight costs.
The repair procedure is as follows:
-
Call customer service at 800-334-6614,
to discuss the problem. The outcome of the call should be one of these three options:
- The problem is diagnosed over the phone, and the customer service representative provides a "self-help" solution, e.g., clog removal.
- A referral is made to a local authorized SEBO retail store, which can provide the needed repair services.
- The determination is made that the machine must be repaired at SEBO’s corporate office in Centennial, Colorado. If this is the case, customer service will issue a Return Material Authorization number ("RMA") and a prepaid UPS Return Label.
- Package for shipment that portion of the vacuum which SEBO’s customer service representative instructs you to return, e.g., the power head, the bag housing, or maybe the entire vacuum. Affix the UPS Return Label to the outside of the box.
- Leave the box at any UPS Store, pick-up location or drop-off station.
HOURS OF OPERATION

price of products it cannot supply.
