*The Fabric Warranty Relates to the Umbrella Canopy. **Protection Covers have a separate warranty. Protection Covers are optional on nominal products.

Original Purchaser
- This warranty applies solely to the original purchaser and is non-transferable.
What Is Covered
- This warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship only.
- It does not cover damage caused by wind, accidents, misuse, improper handling, insects or normal wear and tear.
Installation
- This warranty is valid only when the umbrella is installed, maintained, and used strictly in accordance with the instructions outlined in the user manual.
- Any installation advice provided is general guidance only.
- It is the owner’s responsibility to identify underground services such as water pipes, drainage, or electrical cables and to notify installers of any site-specific risks.
- We accept no liability for damage incurred during installation.
Repairs & Shipping
- This is a back-to-base warranty. If a repair is required, the claimant is responsible for all freight costs to and from our facility.
- Any costs associated with on-site technicians or repairers are the responsibility of the claimant.
- Repairs or replacements completed under warranty are covered for the remainder of the original warranty period. This does not extend or restart the warranty term.
Hardware – Fixings & Frames
- Umbrella frames, mounts, and fittings may include powder-coated steel, galvanized steel, and stainless steel.
- Surface rust or tea staining is a natural characteristic of steel products and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Repair & Replacement Decisions
- All warranty claims are assessed to determine whether the issue relates to materials, workmanship, or external factors.
- Where a valid fault is confirmed, we reserve the right to repair or replace the item at our discretion.
Fabric Canopies
What Is Covered
- Colour fading only.
Note: The acrylic fabric is engineered for high colour fastness throughout the warranty period. Red, orange, and yellow shades may fade more quickly than darker or neutral colours.
What’s Not Covered
- Damage caused by wind, weather, misuse, burns, vandalism, punctures, stains, insect bites or normal wear and tear.
- Wear or holes caused by fabric rubbing or pinching against the frame.
- Tip: When closed, make sure the fabric canopy is not trapped between the frame. Fold any loose material and secure it with the canopy strap to prevent rubbing.

- Mounting options are included in the frame warranty.
Disclaimer
- Except as explicitly stated in this warranty, all other warranties, representations, conditions, obligations, or liabilities, whether implied by law or otherwise, are expressly excluded.
