Warranty
What is Covered
We warrant to you, the original purchaser that with the exceptions stated below, the furniture you have selected is free from defects in material and workmanship. Straps, slings, and cushions are warranted based on the quality of workmanship, not fading, discoloration, mildew resistance, or stretching.
How Long Does Coverage Last?
Structural
This limited structural warranty lasts for a period of fifteen (15) years for Aluminum and Iron and three (3) years for Woven from the date of delivery of the furniture to you (“Warranty Period”). Coverage terminates if you sell or otherwise transfer the furniture or have unauthorized repairs or alterations done to the furniture during the warranty period. Products approved for use in commercial applications will be covered under the current Hospitality Warranty Period of five (5) years for Aluminum and Iron and three (3) years for Woven from the date of delivery.
Finish
This limited finish warranty lasts for a period of seven (7) years on iron and aluminum domestically and for a period of three (3) years on woven items from the date of delivery of the furniture to you (“Warranty Period”). Coverage terminates if you sell or otherwise transfer the furniture or have unauthorized repairs or alterations done to the furniture during the warranty period. Products approved for use in commercial applications will be covered under the current Hospitality Warranty Period of five (5) years from the date of delivery on iron and aluminum domestically and for a period of three (3) years on woven.
Cushion
This limited cushion warranty lasts for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery of the furniture to you (“Warranty Period”). The cushion warranty covers the workmanship of the cushion itself and the filler for one (1) year. Fabrics may be covered under a separate warranty by the fabric manufacturer. If a fabric is deemed defective after the one (1) year cushion warranty by the fabric manufacturer, the cost for replacing the cushion, less the fabric charges would be your responsibility. Coverage terminates if you sell or otherwise transfer the furniture or have unauthorized repairs or alterations done to the furniture during the warranty period. Products approved for use in commercial applications will be covered under the current Hospitality Warranty Period of one (1) year from the date of delivery.
Parts
Certain parts, such as recliner mechanisms, fire table burners, etc., only carry a one (1) year warranty.
What Woodard Will Do
Frames
If within the Warranty Period, your furniture fails structurally or if the finish cracks, peels, or blisters, Woodard will, at our option, repair or replace the frame in the original color and style. Please note that it is at Woodard’s discretion as to whether the original defective piece is required to be sent back or not.
Straps
If within the Warranty Period, the strap breaks or pulls out of the frame within three (3) years from the date of delivery, Woodard will send a replacement strap(s) directly to you upon receipt of the defective item(s). Please note that it is at Woodard’s discretion as to whether the original defective piece is required to be sent back or not.
Slings
If within the Warranty Period, the sling breaks or pulls out of the frame within one (1) year from the date of delivery, Woodard will send a replacement sling(s) directly to you upon receipt of the defective item(s). Please note that it is at Woodard’s discretion as to whether the original defective piece is required to be sent back or not.
In the event that a frame finish, style, or fabric has been discontinued, we reserve the right to substitute the defective frame, sling, or cushion in a similar style or color at our option. Please note, because iron is made from steel, small amounts of rust seepage may appear when used outdoors, mainly in the joints and crevices. This seepage is normal and is not covered under warranty. Regular maintenance (e.g. cleaning the furniture, touching up nicks and scrapes) must be exercised.
To Obtain Service
Any claim under this warranty should be initiated within the Warranty Period by contacting the dealer where the item(s) were originally purchased. A copy of the original sales receipt as well as the original order placed with Woodard is required. A claim may also be handled by any other authorized Woodard Dealer but an original sales receipt would still be required to verify the date of purchase. If unable to go through a dealer please contact us at claims@woodard-furniture.com. Freight charges will be paid by Woodard for two (2) years from purchase for warranty claims – proof of purchase is required. The customer will be responsible for freight charges after the first two (2) years of the Warranty Period. Woodard reserves the right to examine all merchandise claimed to be defective. Upon approval of the claim, Woodard will authorize either the repair or replacement of the defective furniture, strap, sling, cushion, or part. No returns shall be accepted without a return authorization from Woodard.
What is Not Covered
This warranty does not cover and is void if the damage is a result of freight/shipping, a failure caused by unreasonable or abusive use, acts of God, improper care, freeze damage, mildew, normal wear, fading or stretching of fabrics and vinyl straps, glass breakage, glides or if the furniture is used for commercial purposes (except where noted) or if the customer fails to provide reasonable and necessary care as outlined in the product information brochures.
