Suppliers Warranty

Our Guarantees to you (please refer to the following page for the full terms and conditions):

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

The benefits of this warranty are in addition to any rights and remedies imposed by Australian State and Federal legislation that cannot be excluded. Nothing in this warranty is to be interpreted as excluding, restricting or modifying any State or Federal legislation applicable to the supply of goods and services which cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified.

Subject to the Warranty Terms and Conditions and the Warranty Claim Procedure, the manufacturer warrants this product to be free of manufacturing or material defect for 12 months from the date of purchase.*

In order to make a warranty claim you must follow the procedure outlined below:

   • Clearly state the grounds for the claim and describe any relevant circumstances.
   • An assurance that the product has not been damaged, incorrectly assembled, installed or operated, exposed to the elements, negligently treated, or misused. Any false representations may void your claim and constitute a breach in law.
   • A form detailing the claim must be filled out and lodged with your place of purchase.

4.  The manufacturer reserves the right to replace defective parts of the product with parts and components of similar quality, grade, and composition where an identical part or component is not available.

15.  SPECIFIC EXCLUSIONS – TIMBER FURNITURE
    The following specific warranties and product specific issues relate to timber furniture. The natural features of timber result in finished products that display variation and individual characteristics. Specific requests that impact on manufacture limit the manufacturer’s ability to minimise variation and in cases such as the request for unsealed product, it may even result in surface checking, warping, staining and other such problems. Where possible the manufacturer will explain the situation to the purchaser at the time of order placement.
    • PRODUCT ORDERED RAW
    Warranty claims relating to products specifically ordered to be supplied in raw unpolished finish will be limited to manufacturing or material faults which do not relate to the raw finish. Surface checking, warping staining, and other problems directly related to the supply of product in raw form will not be covered by warranty.
    • COLOUR CONSISTENCY
    Due to the natural variations and characteristics of the material the manufacturer cannot guarantee total uniformity of colour within any one piece of furniture, especially those products made of leather, timbers, and stones.
    • COLOUR MATCHING
    The manufacturer cannot guarantee colour matching with products not manufactured by the it.
16.  A minimum service call charge of $100 will apply where the manufacturer is requested to attend to works or repairs that are not covered by this warranty.
17.  The manufacturer makes no express warranties or representations other than set out in this warranty.
