ART CLASSIC will provide the Customer with a delivery quotation immediately on receipt of the quotation from the shipping transportation company. While ART CLASSIC endeavors to organize country wide delivery, delivery to all locations cannot be guaranteed.

WARRANTIES
The colour, texture and composition of fabric or wood may vary from the products displayed in store or on this website due to many dye variations and natural timber variations. Due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, color samples may appear different on different monitors. Computer monitors are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. Reclaimed wood is unique, and no two products are the same. The wood will display holes, nail marks, scuffing and are part of the intrinsic beauty of the product. Solid timber products have natural markings, cracks and color variations due to the nature of the product; these are the characteristics of a natural product and not defects or signs of damage.

Leather Furniture
Dye lots may vary as the hide has not been corrected to remove imperfections. The leather develops a patina during its expected useful lifetime. Color variations may occur due to multiple hides required to make up the item.

Marks, tick bite scars, scratches, stretch marks and scuff marks are characteristic of full grain leather and are therefore not defects. Cattle branding marks may also be visible and are not considered defects. Exposure to too much sunlight may lead to fading and drying.

ART CLASSIC will only be liable to honor a warranty if:
The defects existed at the time of delivery and manifested during the warranty
period;

The defect did not arise due to normal wear and tear or misuse/abuse by the
customer;

The product concerned is used for the intended purpose and in a domestic/residential environment. (unless a waiver is given in writing by ART
CLASSIC)
The Customer duly complied with the care instructions and maintenance and the Customer provides the original invoice.

Upholstered Furniture
Upholstered furniture is warranted for a period of 1 year from date of delivery/collection in respect of the frame and craftsmanship. The warranty does not extend to the fabric or leather used to upholster the product as this is
subject to wear and tear associated with use. Furthermore, usage and treatment in the Customer’s environment is beyond the control of ART CLASSIC. Exposure to sunlight can lead to fading.

Warranties do not apply to:
Defects or damage arising from negligence, abuse or misuse, including (but not limited to) improper maintenance, exposure to water, direct sunlight, coastal water, chemicals, accidents, any use for which the product is not designed nor does it cover ordinary wear and tear and fail to comply with ART CLASSIC’s care instructions or specifications. Extreme use is considered damage caused by more than normal wear and tear this includes:
Solvent and/or other spills
Ink, Pen or crayon marks
Paint
Body fluids (human or animal)
Improve cleaning techniques
Placing furniture outdoors in direct sunlight or in close proximity to an open
heat source -heaters, fire places, braai stands.

Timber Warranty
Timber products are warranted for a period of 1 year from date of delivery/collection in respect of frame and workmanship. Should the original product be altered in any way, the warranty will be void. Since Teak wood has an oil content, any Teak furniture used for indoors should not be placed on a
carpet.

Outdoor / All-weather Rattan
ART CLASSIC warrants that under normal use and proper care, our products are free from defects of cracking, peeling and breaking for one year from date of delivery. Our outdoor products are manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and unlike PVC which is toxic Polyethylene is an eco-friendly material that can be recycled.

The warranty above does not cover failure or damage caused by improper applications, unreasonable use or abusive use which is beyond our control; or costs associated with the replacement of the fabric, including labor and installation.

ART CLASSIC also warrants that under normal use and proper handling, the product has no significant color fading within one year of outdoor use from the date of delivery.

Conditions of displayed products
