Shade7 Warranty Terms

This warranty covers faulty materials and faulty workmanship only. Wind damage is not covered by any Shade7 warranty.

Warranty terms

1. This warranty does not cover damage caused by wind or adverse weather conditions, fair wear and tear, accidents or misuse.
2. This warranty is valid only if the umbrella is installed and operated as per the instructions in this manual.
3. This is a back-to-base warranty. In the case of repairs to the umbrella being required (regardless of whether the repairs are covered under warranty) the cost of transportation to/from Shade7 is to be paid by the claimant.
4. Our freestanding umbrella bases plus umbrella spigots and ground installation fittings use various materials including powder coated steel, galvanised steel and stainless steel, all with different levels of corrosion resistance for different environments. Rust is a natural part of the aging process of all steel based materials and is therefore not considered a defect and is not covered under any Shade 7 Ltd warranties.
5. This warranty is the only express warranty given by Shade7 Ltd. No person has the authority to change or add to these obligations and liabilities without Shade7 Ltd approval in writing.
6. Shade7 Ltd reserves the right to determine whether or not fault is caused by faulty workmanship, faulty materials or that any part is defective. Where fault is determined, we reserve the right to repair or replace products at our discretion.
7. Shade7 Ltd or its authorised agent may offer advice, but accepts no responsibility as to the ultimate positioning of the umbrella. In the case of installations, the owner is to ascertain position of all underground pipes and electrical wires and notify the installer of any obstacles. Although all care will be taken, no responsibility can be accepted for any damage during installation.
8. Any umbrella repair, hardware replacement or fabric replacement supplied under warranty is covered for the time remaining in the original warranty and does not activate a new warranty period.
9. This warranty applies to the original purchaser only.
