Product Warranty
No express or implied warranties, conditions, and obligations of MCONTRAST, whether statutory or otherwise, extend beyond what is stated herein.
For a period of three years from the date of delivery, our products are made to the highest standard and are warranted free from defects of material and workmanship.
During the warranty period, MCONTRAST will repair or replace, at its discretion and without charge to the original purchaser, any product or part thereof that fails as the result of defects in material and workmanship under single-shift use and normal care, for three (3) years from the date of delivery, with the following exceptions: guest and stacking chairs which will be warranted for three (3) years; drawer glides, drawer boxes, drawer pulls, and lock mechanisms have a five (5) year warranty for the original purchaser; power and communication components are warranted for one (1) year; height-adjustable mechanisms and bases are warranted for two (2) years. Repair or replacement of discontinued products will be at the discretion of MCONTRAST.
Natural color changes, variations, or movements in lumber, veneer products, and stone, exposure to extreme temperature changes, and direct sunlight may cause color changes and/or surface damage. These are circumstances beyond the control of MCONTRAST and are not warranty issues.
This warranty is the “Buyer’s” exclusive remedy for product defects and does not apply to damage caused by the dealer, installer, user modification, or attachments to a product.
MCONTRAST makes no express or implied warranties as to any product and makes no warranty of merchantability and of fitness for any particular purpose. MCONTRAST shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage or for commercial loss suffered by the “Buyer” because of any defect in workmanship or manufacturing of the product or inability to use the product arising from any product defect. MCONTRAST shall not be liable for defects wholly attributable to the normal manufacturing process.
Replacement or repair of the products shall be the sole remedy of the “Buyer”, and MCONTRAST shall not be liable.
This warranty gives specific legal rights. Other rights vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty will last or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply.
All complaints must be resolved through the original purchaser. To obtain warranty service, the purchaser must supply dated proof of purchase.
MCONTRAST reserves the right to make changes without prior notice in dimensions, design and/or construction, pricing or product literature.
Warranty Limitations and Exclusions for Textiles
Moreover, this warranty does not cover accidental damage, abuse, alteration, ordinary wear and tear of goods, negligence, and misuse, nor variations over which we have no control, such as heat or humidity or damage to which the goods are connected that is not attributable to the failure of the goods themselves. This warranty is null and void when the product is installed with hardware other than that supplied and/or when installed differently than recommended in the installation guide.
Modification to the product or hardware may cause it to fail and cause damage and/or injury.
