Two Year Limited Warranty Best Stone and Kitchen, Inc. hereby warrants its cabinets including drawer glides and hinges to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use to the original consumer purchaser for a period of two (2) years from the date of purchase. This warranty applies only to the cabinets sold by Best Stone and Kitchen, Inc. and used in single-family, non-rental, non-commercial residences. This warranty is not transferable to subsequent owners. This warranty does not cover defects caused by misuse, negligence, mishandling, improper installation, storage, assembly or disassembly, product modification or alteration, and transportation. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, environmental condition such as moisture or heat-related damage, abuse and intentional damages. As with other natural materials, wood is affected by environmental factors such as natural and artificial lighting, moisture and temperature. Natural and environmental factors will affect cabinet products over time. Color changes may occur in the finished wood products as a result of exposure to light and other elements which are part of the aging process. Each wood species also exhibits its own distinctive patterns and characteristics which add to its natural beauty. These variations in color and grain pattern are natural characteristics of wood rather than imperfections or defects. This warranty does not cover the natural aging of wood and changing of wood color nor does it apply to the material variation of characteristics of wood. This warranty is not valid for products used for any purpose other than the purpose for which they were originally intended. Should defects in material or workmanship exist during this warranty period, Best Stone and Kitchen, Inc. will elect at its discretion to either repair or replace the defective material or component covered by this warranty. This warranty does not cover costs for removal, installation, subsequent damage or transportation of the defective product and related items such as cabinets, counter tops, plumbing fixtures, appliances or related materials, or any labor costs. Best Stone and Kitchen, Inc. periodically updates and makes changes to its product line and specifications. If a warranty claim is filed against obsolete or changed product, Best Stone and Kitchen, Inc. will replace the part(s) under warranty with a new part of the same style or with a similar style currently offered. Best Stone and Kitchen, Inc. cannot be held responsible for replacement product that may not exactly match installed product. Open Joints Seasonable changes in temperature and humidity naturally cause wood to expand and contract, especially here in New England area. Our cabinet's face frame, door and drawer front are made of real wood and are no exception. This natural process will cause joint separation. This will be more noticeable on a painted door over a stained door. An open joint line is not considered a defect and it is widely accepted in the kitchen cabinetry industry. The finish will still protect the surface, and the structural integrity of the joint will not be affected. These issues are shared by every manufacturer of all wood cabinets, and are not unique to our cabinets. Wood may expand and contract differently from cabinet to cabinet. Even joints within the same cabinet may behave differently. Some joined wood may not show any joint lines, others may be slightly visible, while others may display easily visible joint lines. Joint lines also may occur due to the repeated impacts from normal everyday use. This warranty does not cover the open joint lines due to the natural process of wood expansion and contraction. Discoloration Natural woods may vary in texture, color, wood grain, and exhibit subtle changes as they age. Sunlight, smoke, moisture, household cleaners and other environmental conditions may cause materials to very from their original colors. These variations are the nature of the material in relation to its environmental exposure. All paints, especially lighter colors, are susceptible to discoloration due to airborne particles such as cooking, grilling, tobacco smoke, fireplaces or candles. Prolonged exposure to natural or artificial light may alter the finish color. Moisture may also discolor the finish. This warranty does not cover the color changes due to above mentioned factors. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS EXPRESS WARRANTY. THIS WARRANTY EXCLUDES ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. This warranty is only valid in the United States of America. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusion may not apply. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. All the claims must be in writing and must include a copy of the original dated sales receipt or invoice as proof of purchase and the evidence of defected items such as pictures. To submit a claim, please write to: Best Stone and Kitchen, Inc. 1160 Somerset Street New Brunswick, NJ 08901
