To open a Customer Account, the Customer must provide the following documents:
- Completed registration form
- Current certificate of incorporation issued by the competent registry court/authority or other official document verifying registration and lawful operation
- Specimen signature of the legal representative and/or written authorisation issued to the person authorised to represent the company

Unless otherwise stated, the Customer Account has no expiry date. IKEA shall not be liable for any misuse of the Customer Account by third parties.
Rules for Orders Placed via E-mail
When ordering by e-mail, the following additional rules apply.
The Customer's e-mail order sent to ikea.business.hu@ikea.com must include:
- The IKEA Business Network digital card number (QR code);
- The product name, article number and quantity (this requirement may be fulfilled by sending the IKEA shopping list);
- The delivery location within the territory of Hungary if delivery is requested, or, in the case of in-store collection, the name of the preferred store;
- Any other corporate services requested, if applicable.
Purchases by E-mail - Prepayment
In the case of prepayment, the Customer shall, based on the pro forma invoice issued by IKEA Furnishing Ltd., transfer in advance to the Customer Account the total consideration of the intended order, from which IKEA Furnishing Ltd., in the event of a successful order, is entitled to deduct the price of the goods and services used by the Customer. The Customer may amend or correct its order until the order confirmation has been received.
An order does not bind the Company until the Customer has paid the full purchase price and all other charges (including delivery fees). Following submission of the order, IKEA Furnishing Ltd. will send the pro forma invoice to the Customer; the Customer shall confirm receipt by e-mail within 24 hours and transfer the amount indicated by the deadline stated on the pro forma invoice to the Customer Account. Upon the Customer's confirmation, IKEA Furnishing Ltd. is entitled to deduct the full purchase price and any other charges from the Customer Account and to establish the fact and success of the order. Picking of products, delivery or goods preparation begins only after a delivery/collection slot has been booked.
Purchases by E-mail - Deferred Bank Transfer
In the case of Payment on invoice, the Customer shall transfer, after successful performance of the service, the consideration of the intended order to the Customer Account on the basis of the invoice issued by IKEA Furnishing Ltd.
Workflow: After the order is placed, IKEA Furnishing Ltd. will send a quotation to the Customer. No automatic reservation of products is made upon sending the quotation. The Customer has 5 days to accept the quotation by e-mail. By accepting the quotation, the Customer acknowledges that it is not entitled to modify, correct or withdraw the order thereafter.
An order is successful when the Customer accepts the quotation and IKEA Furnishing Ltd. sends an order confirmation e-mail to the Customer. Upon confirming the Customer's order, IKEA Furnishing Ltd. is entitled to deduct the full purchase price and other charges from the Purchasing Limit (see below) and to establish the fact of the order.
Order Confirmation and Delivery
Prior to reserving an appointment for the service, our colleague will contact the Customer to coordinate the timing. After acceptance of the quotation, the Customer acknowledges that it is not entitled to modify, correct or withdraw the order. The sales contract shall be deemed concluded when the Customer has received the written e-mail order confirmation. Picking of products begins only after delivery or goods-preparation has been booked. Placing an order does not constitute a reservation of products; therefore, products may sell out.
The delivery deadline indicated in the confirmation is indicative and may vary depending on product availability. IKEA Furnishing Ltd. expressly reserves the right to make partial deliveries. The delivery obligation is fulfilled by delivery to the address specified by the Customer.
IKEA Furnishing Ltd. is entitled to refuse the order if the Customer has failed to settle invoices arising from previous purchases in due time.
Purchasing Limit (Credit Limit)
IKEA Furnishing Ltd. reserves the right to set a personalised purchasing limit for the Customer's account (hereinafter: the "Credit Limit" or "Purchasing Limit"), for the determination of which it may also use the credit-rating services of an external contractual partner. The Purchasing Limit is a rating assessing the Customer's financial position and the risk associated with Payment on invoice, enabling orders to be fulfilled with deferred bank transfer. The assessment by the credit-rating provider is not binding on the Company; it merely assists IKEA Furnishing Ltd. in determining the Purchasing Limit. IKEA Furnishing Ltd. may, at its sole discretion, modify or revoke the amount of the Customer's Purchasing Limit or the availability thereof.
By placing an order with Payment on invoice, the Customer consents to IKEA Furnishing Ltd. forwarding the business data of the Customer (company name, registered office, tax number and, where necessary, company registration number) to its external partners for the purpose of credit assessment.
The Customer may place orders up to the amount of the Credit Limit, from which IKEA Furnishing Ltd. is entitled to deduct the costs of the order. No commission or other fee is charged by IKEA Furnishing Ltd. for maintaining the Credit Limit. Maintaining the Purchasing Limit does not constitute a financial service or lending activity within the meaning of the Hungarian Act on Credit Institutions and Financial Enterprises.
The maximum Credit Limit is determined individually on the basis of the credit assessment. Orders exceeding the Credit Limit cannot be placed with deferred bank transfer. If the Customer's order would exceed the established Credit Limit, the entire amount of the order may only be paid by prepayment.
IKEA Furnishing Ltd. reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to dispense with the use of a credit-rating provider and grant the option of deferred bank transfer without such assessment.
In the event of withdrawal from the order or from the contract, the Customer shall reimburse the incurred delivery and transportation costs.
If the Customer is in default with any due invoice, or if the credit-rating provider informs IKEA Furnishing Ltd. of the Customer's adverse financial position, all outstanding debts of the Customer shall become immediately due and payable, irrespective of the agreed payment deadline. In such case, IKEA Furnishing Ltd. shall be entitled--without prejudice to its claim for damages--to suspend any due service until settlement of the debt, or to terminate/withdraw from the contract.
Extra Orders
An Extra Order is an order that exceeds the domestic stock available to IKEA Furnishing Ltd. at the time the order is placed. Extra Orders may be placed only with prepayment. In the case of an Extra Order, following settlement of the price of the products and services, IKEA Furnishing Ltd. will order the required quantity for the Customer from the European Central Warehouse. After payment of the purchase price, the Customer may not cancel the order. For Extra Orders, IKEA Furnishing Ltd. does not provide the 365-day return (change-of-mind) option for the products.
Payment Terms
The Customer may choose to pay either in advance by bank transfer or by deferred bank transfer, subject to IKEA's prior approval.
Prepayment
In the case of prepayment, the Customer shall transfer the total amount of the order to IKEA's bank account as indicated on the pro forma invoice issued by IKEA. IKEA shall process the order only after the full purchase price has been credited to its bank account.
Payment on Invoice
Payment on invoice terms are granted exclusively at IKEA's discretion, subject to individual assessment and prior approval.
- Payment on invoice is available only to Customers with a valid Customer Account.
- The Payment on invoice period shall be 8 calendar days, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
IKEA shall issue an invoice upon delivery of the goods/services. The due date is indicated on the invoice. Should the Customer fail to settle the invoice by the due date, IKEA shall be entitled to charge late payment interest in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Hungarian Civil Code.
The Customer shall not be entitled to set off any claims against IKEA without IKEA's prior written consent.
Delivery and Performance
The Customer may request product delivery to the location specified in the order. Delivery fees are set out in IKEA's prevailing price list, available on its website.
Delivery dates indicated by IKEA are for information purposes only and are not binding, unless expressly confirmed in writing as fixed deadlines.
IKEA shall not be liable for delays caused by:
- Force majeure events,
- Circumstances attributable to the Customer (e.g. failure to provide access to the delivery site, provision of incorrect data, etc.),
- Delays caused by subcontractors or service providers.
Risk of loss and damage to goods passes to the Customer upon delivery to the agreed address, or in case of collection by the Customer, upon handover at the IKEA store or warehouse.
