Design Element offers the following limited warranty on each of its vanity products (the “Product”) and the components thereof. This warranty extends only to the original owner or end-user for personal household use. This warranty is void if the product has been moved from its initial place of installation. For commercial uses, additional limitations apply. Design Element warrants the product to be free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use and service for a period of one (1) year from the initial date of purchase by the owner or end-user, contractor, or builder, from Design Element or an authorized Design Element dealer unless otherwise noted. Subject to the warranty service provision below, any product reported to the authorized dealer or to Design Element as being defective within the warranty period will be repaired, or replaced with a product of equal value at the discretion of Design Element. This warranty extends to the original owner or end-user and is not transferable to a subsequent owner.
Neither the distributor, authorized Design Element dealer, nor any other person has been authorized to make any affirmation, representation, or warranty other than those contained in this warranty. Any affirmation, representation, or warranty other than those contained in this warranty shall not be enforceable against Design Element or any other person.
This warranty shall not apply to instances of incorrect operating procedures, breakages, or damages caused by fault through improper installation, carelessness, abuse, misuse, misapplication, improper maintenance, or alteration of the product, as well as chemical or natural corrosion, accident, fire, flood, an act of God, or any other casualty. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wools, and harsh chemicals as these will scratch, damage, and / or dull the product and / or finish and void this warranty. The owner/end-user of the product covered by the present warranty is entirely responsible for its proper installation and any applicable plumbing. Design Element neither installs nor supervises the installation nor hires a contractor for this purpose; consequently, Design Element cannot be held responsible for any default, breakage, or damages caused thereby or resulting thereof, either directly or indirectly. The owner/end-user must provide access to the components of the Product as described in the installation guide so that Design Element can execute the warranty specified herein. If such access is not available, all expenses to provide said access will be the responsibility of the owner/end-user. This warranty does not apply to local building code compliance. The owner/end-user should check with the local related plumbing codes before installation.
This warranty does not apply to products that have not been installed or operated in accordance with instructions supplied by Design Element and all applicable rules, regulations, and legislation pertaining to such installations.
Design Element products are made of naturally variable raw materials. Differences in grain character and color among wood and plant species and stones and minerals 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. All wood naturally ages, darkens, changes in color, and mellows over time due primarily to exposure to light. While this color change is imperceptible from day to day, it may be significant over a longer period of time, or due to amount of light the wood is exposed to. On warranty replacement doors or drawers, we will not guarantee an exact color match. Imperfections such as checks (small surface splits), pitch pockets (small dark holes) or darker mineral streaks are natural and are not considered defects.
Surface characteristics of natural stones may vary from each slab. Color variations in stone are a natural occurrence. Natural veining, crystal lining and local crystallization are common characteristics of natural stones. For this reason, new and/or replacement pieces may not match display samples and/or existing pieces. Natural occurring stone characteristics such as variation in grain, color, mineral streaks are not considered defective product. In addition, all Design Element vanities are handcrafted. Each product may vary slightly in size and color within an acceptable industry tolerance. Due to the manufacturing process, tempered glass will end to have a greenish tint. This is a natural feature and is not considered a defect. As a result of the tempering process or otherwise, color variation in glass may occur in certain products.
Design Element reserves the right to modify this warranty at any time, it being understood that such modifications will not alter the warranty conditions applicable at the time of sale of the products in question.
