WARRANTIES: The colour, texture and composition of Metal Surfaces, fabric, prelaminated boards or wood may vary from the products displayed in store or on this website due to dye lot variations and natural timber variations. Due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, colour samples may appear different on different monitors. Computer monitors are not all calibrated equally and colour 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 colour 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. Colour 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.

M/S Neelkanth Steel Furniture will only be liable to honour a warranty if:

The defect 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 purpose intended and in a domestic/residential environment. (unless a waiver is given in writing by M/S Neelkanth Steel Furniture)

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 2 years 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 M/S Neelkanth Steel Furniture. 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 air, chemicals, accidents, any use for which the product was not designed nor does it cover ordinary wear and tear and failure to comply with M/S Neelkanth Steel Furniture’s care instructions or specifications.

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 oil content, any Teak furniture used for indoors should not be placed on a carpet.
