Warranties

Bernhardt Hospitality (Company) will repair or replace, at its discretion and without charge to the original purchaser, any product or part thereof which fails as the result of defects in material and workmanship, given normal use and care. This limited warranty shall only apply to products sold through the Company and does not include product sold through Bernhardt Residential or Bernhardt Design.

Subject to the limitations for Natural Materials and Fabrics/Leathers/Upholstery Materials noted below, the following warranty time periods apply from the date of shipment.

(a) Casegoods - two (2) years
(b) Upholstered Seating - four (4) years
(c) Task/Dining/Barstool Seating - two (2) years

Natural Materials

Certain products of the Company are made with a variety of materials found in nature. These include, but are not limited to, various wood and plant species, stones and minerals, shells, and certain animal by-products. The Company warrants such materials to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of shipment. However, certain changes in these materials over time are expected and are not considered defects and are not covered by the limited warranty. For example, Differences in grain character and color are naturally occurring variations and are not considered defects. Highly figured veneers are taken from areas of the tree that grow in different directions. This natural characteristic of the veneer causes tension and pulls the fiber of the wood, which can result in hairline cracks over time and are not considered defects. Natural color changes, variations, or movement in lumber or veneer products, and exposure to extreme temperature changes and/or direct sunlight, may cause color and/or surface changes which are not considered defects.
