The Buyer hereby releases the Company entirely from liability for damage or loss arising out of or related to the shipment of the Items.

LIMITED WARRANTY
Company warrants that any furniture Item sold under this Contract shall be free from defects in material and workmanship, except the furniture Item’s natural rubber feet infill, under normal use and service for a period of ten (10) years from the date of delivery. Company warrants that any natural rubber feet infill for any furniture Item sold under this Contract shall be free from defects for a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery of the furniture Item. These warranties do not cover (1) normal wear and tear, (2) damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, cracks, and indentations, caused by misuse, accidents, abuse, temperature variations, mishandling, or neglect by any party, including shipper(s), carrier(s), and installer(s), (3) damage relating to repairs or alterations made by anyone other than the Company or an agent of the Company, (4) variations in finish or fading, oxidization, or discoloration of finishes or fabric (with (1), (2), (3), and (4) being collectively referred to as the “Excluded Damage”).

Upon verification of a justified warranty claim, Company will, at its option, either repair or replace free of charge the Item that is proven defective. Items that are replaced by Company will be replaced within the normal time period required to reorder, manufacture, and deliver the same product.
