This warranty is expressly limited to repair or replacement of the defective product at our option, at no charge to the consumer. Slight fluctuations in color and grain are not considered defects by the cabinet manufacturing industry. Wood and finish characteristics in the Non-Warranty Addendums are a part of this warranty agreement. Since these exclusions are specific to your wood and finish selections, review addendum details. This limited warranty does not extend to defects caused by improper handling, storage, installation, assembly or disassembly, intentional damage, product modifications, nor to products installed in homes which do not maintain year round environment controls or stored or installed in a self-contained environment with a constant humidity level of 45% to 60%. To make a claim under this limited warranty, the consumer must call or write Village Handcrafted Cabinetry after the discovery of the defect. Village Handcrafted Cabinetry will not pay any expense incurred by the consumer in removing, transporting, or reinstalling the product. All express warranties and any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose shall terminate upon the expiration of this limited warranty. Village Handcrafted Cabinetry assumes no liability for incidental or consequential damages. Village Handcrafted Cabinetry reserves the right to change design, specifications, materials and price as conditions require and improvements are developed. Village Handcrafted Cabinetry has no obligation to incorporate such changes into products previously manufactured.
WARRANTY ADDENDUM
COLOR MATCH- WOOD & FINISH CHARACTERITICS
Natural woods may vary in texture, color, wood grain, and exhibit subtle changes as they age. For example, wood joints may eventually have visible cracking around the joint area and the cabinet colors may darken or lighten over time. Sunlight, smoke, moisture, household cleaners and other environmental conditions may cause materials to vary from their original color and/or to warp, split or crack. These variations are the nature of the material in relation to its environmental exposure. This also makes it very difficult to match the original color. All efforts will be made for a reasonable color match, but an exact match is neither implied nor guaranteed.
Seasonable changes in temperature and humidity naturally cause wood to expand and contract. This could cause joint separation. Village Handcrafted Cabinetry warrants against excessive joint separation after the cabinetry has been stored or installed for one year allowing for a seasonal temperature and humidity cycle. The cabinetry must be stored or installed in a climate-controlled environment with a constant humidity level of 45% to 60%. Frame joints and door miter joints of 1/32 or less are not considered as excessive joint separation, but normal expansion and contraction to seasonal changes. This is most noticeable on cabinetry finished in a painted color.
No guarantee is included on Village Handcrafted Cabinetry that are manufactured unfinished, either on the doors against warpage or the finish applied by others.
