DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTY
Subject to the terms and conditions of this warranty, Baldwin Hardware
Corporation warrants that all products with the Lifetime Finish™ from
BALDWIN® shall be free from defects in material and workmanship from
tarnishing, flaking, pitting, and discoloring for the lifetime of the applicable
product as long as the original consumer purchaser owns the product.
EXCLUSIONS FROM WARRANTY
1. Baldwin produces its products in accordance with the highest American
standards of quality and excellence. All these products are manufactured
from the highest quality brass obtainable; however, these products are
susceptible to small surface indentations and imperfections due to the
malleability of the material and the crafting of the product. Although
Baldwin's material safeguards protect against shipping products of
unacceptable quality, a small surface indentation or imperfection may not
disqualify a particular product from being considered of the highest quality
obtainable and accordingly will not be considered a defect. Baldwin is
committed to producing each item to the most stringent human standards of
quality and excellence; however, all final decisions concerning defects in
quality remain exclusively in the discretion of Baldwin.
2. Any Baldwin product which has been damaged as a result of installation
contrary to any of Baldwin's written installation instructions is not covered
by this warranty.
3. Any Baldwin product which has been modified by any non-Baldwin
component is not covered by this warranty.
4. Any Baldwin product having a defect caused by neglect, misuse, abuse or
unreasonable or extraordinary use or maintenance is not covered by this
warranty.
5. This warranty is not transferable, therefore, no transferee is covered by this
warranty.
REMEDIES
If a claim is made under this warranty and, after investigation by Baldwin,
proves to be valid, Baldwin will, at its sole option, either repair or replace the
defective product or refund the original purchase price. Upon such a repair or
replacement, the original remaining warranty period will continue in effect and
be applicable to the repaired or replacement Baldwin product. If a Baldwin
product which is the same as the Baldwin product or any part covered by this
warranty has been discontinued at the time of repair or replacement or if
Baldwin determines, in its sole discretion, that such repair or replacement is
inappropriate, Baldwin reserves the right to refund the original consumer
purchase price of the product. Except as expressly provided in this warranty to
the contrary, BALDWIN SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED OR LIABLE FOR
LABOR OR OTHER COSTS RELATED TO INSTALLATION, REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT OF ANY OF ITS PRODUCTS OR FOR LOSS OF, OR
DAMAGE TO, ANY MATERIAL WHICH IS NOT SOLD BY BALDWIN.
WARRANTY CLAIMS
All claims and other communications under this warranty must be made to the
claimant's Baldwin dealer or retailer. Each claim must be in writing, briefly
describe the defect, and be accompanied by a proof of purchase that shows the
claimant is the original consumer purchaser. The claimant must provide to his
or her Baldwin dealer or retailer other information and evidence reasonably
required by Baldwin and, if requested, must permit inspection of the product
by Baldwin or its representatives. If, after investigation, Baldwin determines
that the claim is valid, the remedy will be performed by or on behalf of Baldwin
in accordance with the above heading, "Remedies."
LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES
Except as expressly provided in this warranty to the contrary, BALDWIN
MAKES NO, AND DISCLAIMS ALL, WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS
AND GUARANTEES (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY),
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR LIMITATION ON THE LENGTH OF AN IMPLIED
WARRANTY, AND THEREFORE SOME OR ALL OF THE LAST SENTENCE
UNDER THE ABOVE HEADING, "REMEDIES," AND THE IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING TWO SENTENCES MAY NOT APPLY. This warranty is the
only express warranty provided by Baldwin. No employee, representative or
agent of Baldwin, nor any other person, has authority to assume or incur on
behalf of Baldwin any obligation or liability in place of or in addition to this
warranty. This warranty provides specific legal rights, and other rights, which
vary from state to state. |
