6. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
- Strictly Comfort’s supplier warranties do not cover, and Strictly Comfort is not liable for, any fading or other change in colour due to exposure.
- Strictly Comfort’s supplier warranties do not cover any damage caused by general day-to-day wear and tear (“general usage”) or if the goods are used in a manner outside of their prescribed or ordinary use.
- This warranty will become void if the furniture becomes defective as a result of accident, alterations, misuse, abuse, unauthorised commercial use, misapplication, improper handling, improper removal, incorrect operation or cleaning/fabric protection, and normal wear and tear (examples: normal fabric fraying and loss of colour intensity from prolonged use, exposure to salt air, damage from insects or pets).
- Subject to the Australian Consumer Law, this warranty does not apply to any products sold as second hand, floor stock, display clearance, repaired products, or products that have a defect where this has been drawn to the customer’s attention before the purchase of the product or stated on the sale invoice.
- Genuine leather and cowhides are natural products and as such, the following are considered as natural and inherent characteristics of the product: variations in colour, grain and texture, natural markings.
7. VARIATIONS
Your new furniture may exhibit different characteristics to the displayed showroom furniture depending on the selected covering and the degree of use. Due to the nature of hand-crafted manufacturing, each piece may slightly vary in dimensions, appearance, or feeling. This may be due to variations between different batches of fabric, leather, foam, timber, or other components. These variations do not constitute a fault, but rather reflect the unique character of each piece. Colour swatches and samples are to be used as an approximate guide only, as leather and fabrics vary in colour and texture. Leather will exhibit scars, marks and areas of differing density and colour, which are the hallmarks of genuine leather. We reserve the right to pattern match fabrics according to our best judgment.
