Casegoods Warranty
LIMITED WARRANTY - Please print a copy for your records
Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt warrants its wood products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of five (5) years from the date of shipment to the retailer. Furniture in which such defects occur will be repaired or replaced at Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt’s option, or if replacement or repairs are not possible, alternate financial remuneration may be paid at Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt’s option. This remedy is exclusive and Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt does not authorize any person to create for it any other obligation or liability in connection with this furniture.
For clarification purposes only, the term “wood products” refers specifically to Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt Case Goods products and has no implication, directly or indirectly, to any Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt Upholstery products. Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt Case Goods products are those products listed and displayed exclusively in the Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt Case Goods products catalog, in printed form, or as displayed on the Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt internet web page.
This warranty applies under conditions of normal residential usage only and does not apply to defects or damage resulting from (a) negligence, abuse or misuse (b) inadequate or improper maintenance, cleaning, or care; (c) exposure to chemicals and/or liquids; (d) accidents; (e) any use for which the product was not designed; or (f) commercial usage, which includes rental, business, commercial, institutional, or other non-residential use. Transportation or delivery damage is excluded.
Wood furniture is made of naturally variable raw materials. Differences in grain character and color among wood species are naturally occurring variations and are not within the control of the manufacturer nor considered defects under this warranty. Natural color changes, variations, or movements in lumber or veneer products, and exposure to extreme temperature changes and direct sunlight may cause color changes and/or surface damage and are not covered by this warranty. In some cases, crotched and highly figured veneers may develop hair like cracks as the wood ages. These in no way interfere with the life expectancy or beauty of the furniture. These circumstances are beyond Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt’s control and are not warranty issues.
Fabrics and leathers are warranted only to the extent of the warranty provided by our suppliers on wearing, quality, colorfastness, shrinkage, wrinkling, and stretching. Any type of fabric/leather protectant or treatment not applied by the fabric/leather manufacturer voids the warranty. Pilling is a characteristic of fabrics resulting from normal use and wear and is not covered under any warranty. Improper cleaning voids any warranty.
Leather is a natural material, every hide uniquely enhanced by natural features. Wrinkles, scratches, insect bites, healed scars, and other natural markings should not be considered flaws. Color variations occur normally within a hide and from hide to hide, as no two hides are alike.
Washed Fabrics: Some fabrics are washed to achieve a more relaxed appearance and softer feel. Wrinkling, puckering, and shade variations are a natural result of washing and should not be considered defects.
Television left mechanisms, power supplies and other electronically related components are warranted by each respective manufacturer and are excluded from this warranty.
This warranty protects you only when you purchase Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt from an authorized Martha Stewart Furniture with Bernhardt retailer.
This warranty does not cover (a) floor samples or products designated “AS IS” at the time of purchase; (b) differences between floor samples or differences from printed illustrations, video, or internet displays; (c) and/or marble items, since marble is a non-manufactured natural substance and no two pieces can be expected to match perfectly either in color or pattern.
WARRANTY LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO FIVE (5) YEARS FROM AN INITIAL PURCHASE.
THE WARRANTY AND REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN NO EVENT WILL MARTHA STEWART FURNITURE WITH BERNHARDT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT.
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 may not apply to you.
