Warranty

Built to the Highest Standards of Workmanship

As the purchaser of WeissWorks Millworks, you have invested in cabinetry and other mill works built to the highest standards of workmanship. Your WeissWorks custom cabinetry is protected by our limited lifetime workmanship warranty (the “Warranty”). This Warranty is extended to the original purchaser only and is not transferable. WeissWorks does not extend this Warranty to subsequent owners of the cabinetry.

WeissWorks warrants that the original purchaser’s will be free from defects of workmanship under normal household use for as long as the original purchaser owns the home in which the cabinetry is installed.

The hinges and drawer guides used in WeissWorks are covered by a limited warranty by the manufacturer of the hinges and drawer guides. Any product in question must be returned to WeissWorks to make sure that you receive the correct replacement item. In the event the defective hardware is obsolete or has been discontinued, WeissWorks reserves the right to replace the defective hardware with a current offering. No guarantee of interchangeability is offered.

This Warranty does not cover, and WeissWorks will not be responsible for:

  • Defects or damage arising from improper or negligent installation, misuse, accidents, alterations (regardless of whether the alteration caused or contributed to the defect), or improper care.

  • Cabinetry not maintained or stored in a climate-controlled environment

  • Cabinetry that has been exposed to water, also extreme high or low humidity.

  • Natural characteristics of wood (see below).

  • Colorfastness of finishes (see Natural Characteristics of Wood below)

  • Normal wear and tear.

  • Labor costs, including the costs of removing and reinstalling the cabinets.

  • Transportation or shipping costs incurred in connection with this Warranty.

NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WOOD.

Natural woods, even from trees of the same species, may differ in color, texture and graining. Wood may exhibit subtle changes over time as it ages. Natural and painted finishes on all furniture will at times vary in color tone and grain characteristics. Painted face frames, doors, and other painted parts of the product may eventually have visible cracking around the joint areas. These changes may be accelerated or intensified by sunlight, smoke, household cleaners and other environmental conditions, and such conditions may eventually cause the wood to warp, split or crack. These variations are considered the natural characteristics of the material in relation to their environment and normal wear and tear and are not covered under this Warranty.

SPECIAL NOTES:

Door Warpage: All doors less than 24 ” wide and 45” high will be warranted if warpage is greater than 1/8”. All doors over 24 ” wide and 45” high will be warranted if warpage is greater than 3/8”. Upon installation, a cabinet may be forced out of square. The door(s) of an out of square cabinet will appear to be warped, when in fact they are not. Please remove all doors and check them on a flat surface for the above stated warpage tolerances before requesting replacement. Note that mortise and tennon doors over 45” high and made as one panel at the customer’s request are excluded from this Warranty.

Climate Controlled Environment. To minimize warpage and moisture expansion of wood products, WeissWorks products should be maintained in a climate-controlled environment that avoids extreme temperatures and extremely high or low humidity conditions. WeissWorks will not warranty product stored or installed in any uncontrolled environment.

PERFORMANCE OF WARRANTY.

If a covered defect occurs, WeissWorks will elect, in its sole discretion, to either repair or replace the defective material or component free to charge. WeissWorks is responsible for the millwork product ONLY. Any additional associated item is not WeissWork's responsibility. WeissWorks reserves the right to change its product and finish catalogs from time to time without notice to its customers. If a warranty claim is filed on a product or finish no longer offered and WeissWorks elects to replace the material or component, WeissWorks will substitute a material or component that it deems to be comparable in look and style and of equal or greater value. WeissWorks does not guarantee that finishes on replacement materials or components will exactly match the finishes of WeissWorks cabinetry already installed in your home.

LIMITATIONS.

This Warranty is WeissWorks’s exclusive express warranty, and WeissWorks disclaims all other express warranties. In no event shall WeissWorks be liable for incidental or consequential damages to the original purchaser or any third party. No dealer or agent of WeissWorks has any authority to change or enlarge the warranty or enlarge the above warranty or our liability.

Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State.

CHOICE OF FORUM; JURISDICTION; CHOICE OF LAW.

The original purchaser agrees that any disputes regarding this Warranty and warranty coverage hereunder will be submitted exclusively to the jurisdiction of the state courts for Oakland County, Michigan. The original purchaser agrees to personal jurisdiction of these courts. This Warranty is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of Michigan, without giving effect to provisions regarding conflicts-of-law.
