Sunbrella Fabric 5-Year Limited Warranty

Sunbrella® fabric has a guarantee that is the best in the industry; a 5-year limited warranty (to supply replacement of the fabric only) for upholstery fabrics. This warranty protects against Sunbrella fabric becoming unserviceable due to colour or strength loss from normal usage and exposure conditions, including sunlight, mildew, and atmospheric chemicals. This warranty does not cover normal care and cleaning or damage from misuse or abuse. Sunbrella fabric requires regular cleaning. Please ensure you follow our care and maintenance guide for this warranty to apply.

Defective/Damaged Items

We 100% stand behind our products. Modern Style Outdoor Furniture warrants to the original purchaser that our furniture and its components are free of defects in material and workmanship. If you find a defect in material or workmanship, we will, at our option, repair or replace the defective components at no cost to you. If you receive an item that is defective, please contact us immediately upon receipt of the goods so we may exchange the item for its exact replacement. Items damaged in transit need to be reported to us upon receipt of delivery. We recommend that you open/unpack all furniture within 2 days of delivery. If damage has occurred, please keep all boxes/packing material so they can be used if a return is needed. Please take photos of the damaged product and packaging for claims purposes. Items damaged by you are non-returnable. We do not replace items damaged by the consumer; however, we are available to help and repair your product if repairable.

Modern Style Outdoor Furniture reserves the right to repair or replace any piece that is covered under the terms of this warranty. Repair or replacement may involve Modern Style Outdoor Furniture providing parts directly to our customer where applicable and, at our expense, we will supply any replacement parts in cases where the customer can easily make the repair. In no event shall Modern Style Outdoor Furniture be liable for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use of the product. The warranty does not cover defects or damage caused by:

  • Improper assembly
  • Modifications after purchase
  • Intentional damage, accident, misuse, abuse, or negligence
  • Failure caused by lack of appropriate care and maintenance
  • Prolonged exposure to high saline environments without regular maintenance
  • Normal wear and tear which includes weathering and checking
  • Damage that was a direct effect of weather-related conditions
  • Product fading is an inevitable part of outdoor furniture use in New Zealand conditions and therefore we do not make any guarantees regarding colour-fastness other than specifically mentioned.

Risk

Risk of damage to, or loss of the Goods, passes to the customer upon delivery. The supplier shall not be liable whatsoever for any loss or damage to the Goods that is caused by the customer or any third party. The customer acknowledges that Goods supplied may:

  1. exhibit variations in texture, shade, colour, surface, finish, markings, veining, and contain natural fissures and occlusions, and may fade or change colour over time. Whilst the supplier will make every effort to match sales samples to the finished Goods (or match batches of product supplied) to minimise this occurrence, the supplier accepts no liability whatsoever where such variations occur.
  2. expand, contract or distort as a result of exposure to heat, cold, weather; and
  3. mark or stain if exposed to certain substances (for example, sunscreen); and
  4. be damaged or disfigured by impact or scratching.

Timber is a hygroscopic material subject to expansion and contraction; therefore, the supplier will accept no responsibility for any gaps that may appear during prolonged dry periods.

Returns/Exchanges

We accept returns or exchanges on merchandise deemed to have a manufacturer defect. This does not include a change of mind. All items returned or exchanged must be in original, unused condition. The purchaser assumes responsibility for all shipping costs related to the repair/replacement of goods under warranty, however, Modern Style Outdoor Furniture may elect to pay shipping costs at our discretion.

The customer shall inspect the Goods on delivery and shall within two days of delivery, notify the supplier of any alleged defect, shortage in quantity, damage, or failure to comply with the description or quote. The customer shall afford the supplier an opportunity to inspect the Goods if the customer believes the Goods are defective in any way. If the Customer does not comply with these provisions, the Goods are presumed to be free from defect or damage. For defective Goods, the supplier’s liability is limited to either (at the supplier’s discretion) replacing the Goods or repairing the Goods. Goods are returned in the condition in which they were delivered and with all packaging material, brochures, and instruction material in as-new condition.

Natural Imperfections

  • “Defects” are defined as imperfections that impair the use of your furniture.
  • Our warranty does not apply to any cases of normal wear and tear of the furniture.
  • Normal wear and tear are defined as “the normal deterioration caused by regular use of the furniture”.
  • “Checking” or cracking of the teak wood is a normal and natural occurrence that should be expected.
  • The warranty does not extend to the natural patina of the teak wood or any other discolouration.

Purchaser Responsibilities
