Cabinet & Design Studio

Cabinet & Design Studio (“Cabinet & Design Studio”) extends the following limited warranty on all cabinets sold by Cabinet & Design Studio within the United States and Canada. This Limited Warranty is only applicable to Products sold to the original purchasing consumer on or after January 1, 2019. Cabinet & Design Studio warrants that all cabinets purchased from Cabinet & Design Studio will be free from all unnatural defects in material and workmanship in accordance with Cabinet & Design Studio quality standards sheet under normal residential use for 5 years from the date of the original purchase or as long as the original purchasing consumer owns the home in which such cabinets are installed, whichever is less. This warranty is non-transferable to subsequent owners of the home. Door hinges and all drawer glide systems, including system hardware (lift system), however, are warranted for only 1 year under normal residential use from the date of the original purchase.

PLEASE NOTE: This limited warranty is only applicable to products purchased directly from authorized retailers or distributors. Warranty claims for products purchased from online retailers, auction websites, or any unauthorized third-party sellers may not be honored. We strongly recommend purchasing our products from authorized sellers to ensure the validity of the warranty.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO ALL LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS, DISCLAIMERS, AND PROCEDURES SET FORTH HEREIN.

– The warranty does not cover defects caused by improper handling, storage, dirt, chemicals, abrasive or citrus cleaning products, installation, assembly or disassembly, transit or other intentional or negligent damage, product modifications, exposure to extreme moisture, humidity or excessive heat or cold (temperature outside the range of 50–85°F and humidity outside of the range of 30–55% are considered extreme), nor does it cover defects arising from normal wear and tear, misuse, neglect, accidents, alterations, improper use, exposure to improper loads, or failure to maintain properly. Any modification to the hardware structure or finish of the original consumer purchaser’s cabinetry by anyone other than those specifically authorized by Cabinet & Design Studio to do so shall void this limited liability warranty. The product must be used exclusively for its intended purpose in order to be covered by this limited liability warranty. This limited liability warranty shall become void if the cabinets or any components or parts thereof are in any way modified, improperly installed, or damaged prior to or during installation, or installed or used in other than normal residential applications.

– Natural woods may vary in color, grain pattern, and characteristics and exhibit subtle changes as they age. Wood characteristics that naturally occur, such as variations in color, grain, mineral streaks, and knots, are not considered defects. Cabinet & Design Studio will not be held responsible for these variations in your cabinetry. For example, painted doors, drawer fronts, and face frames may eventually have visible cracking around the joint area, and cabinet colors may darken or lighten over time. These conditions are considered a normal occurrence and are not included or covered by this limited liability warranty. A glazed finish by character is an uneven finish. Some edges and profiles will have heavier hang-ups than others, and glazing may vary cabinet to cabinet, door to drawer, and item to item. This may result in overall color variations but is not considered a defect. UV light, sunlight, smoke, household cleaners, and other environmental conditions may also affect the color and integrity of the product’s finish or appearance over time. These variations are considered to be the nature of the material in relation to their environmental exposure and are not considered defects in material or workmanship and are not covered under this Limited Warranty.

– Mitered door joints, in particular, are likely to react to conditions of their environment. Gaps that may develop in door joints due to conditions of their environment are not included or covered by this limited liability warranty. This limited liability warranty does not cover or apply to hairline cracks in cabinetry; hairline cracks are unavoidable in wood cabinets given the nature of the material. Every species and grade of solid wood behaves in such a way as to eventually result in hairline cracks.

– Wood is a natural material, and expansion and contraction still occur year after year as it compensates and adjusts to ever-changing atmospheric humidity and temperature conditions. Observing shrinkage or expansion on the center panels of doors is very common. It will return to its natural position within a couple of months once it has adjusted to seasonal changes. For the same reason, all door warpage greater than 1/4” will be warranted. Please remove all doors and check them on a flat surface for the above-stated warpage before requesting a replacement.

– Warranty Performance

Cabinet & Design Studio periodically updates and makes changes to its product line and specifications. If a warranty claim is filed during the warranty period against obsolete or changed products and repair is not possible, Cabinet & Design Studio will, at its sole option, repair or replace the part under warranty with a new part of the same style or with a similar style currently offered. This does not include or cover any other costs, including but not limited to service, labor, shipment, transportation, removal, or installation related to the repair or replacement. Cabinet & Design Studio is not responsible for a replacement product that may not match the installed product exactly. If a manufacturing defect occurs within this limited liability warranty’s terms and conditions and Cabinet & Design Studio determines to replace the defective cabinet or component or part thereof, Cabinet & Design Studio will ship the replacement cabinet or component or part thereof to the original consumer purchaser via ground shipper or freight carrier, at Cabinet & Design Studio’s sole discretion.

DISCLAIMER OF OTHER WARRANTIES:

IN NO EVENT SHALL CABINET & DESIGN STUDIO BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT DAMAGES RESULTING FROM INSTALLATION, USE, OR FAILURE OF ITS PRODUCTS. THIS LIMITED LIABILITY WARRANTY IS CABINET & DESIGN STUDIO’S SOLE WARRANTY, AND NO DEALER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR AGENT POSSESSES ANY AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER TO MODIFY OR ENLARGE THIS WARRANTY IN ANY WAY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
