LIMITED WARRANTY & LIFETIME WARRANTY

All products sold by Artista Gallery, Inc are guaranteed against failure from defective workmanship to the original purchaser, when installed and utilized for their intended purpose.  A structural frame warranty applies to weld failures and leg bending.  The structural frame warranties are as follows:

• Metal Chairs and Barstools (lifetime)

• Wood Chairs (1 year)

• Booths (2 years)

• Table Tops (2 years)

• Bases (2 years)

Structural frame warranty does not apply to any product that has been altered or subjected to misuse, negligence or accident.

Under this Warranty, any product proven to be defective shall be repaired or replaced at our option, free of charge, provided it is returned prepaid as directed.

In no case shall liability under this Warranty exceed the original purchase price of the defective merchandise. We reserve the right to inspect the defective item at our designated premises, by factory personnel, to establish the cause of the alleged product failure.

This Warranty shall not apply to any product which shall have been repaired or altered by anyone other than authorized personnel in any way as to affect, in our judgment, its stability and durability, nor which has been subjected to misuse, negligence, abuse or accident.

Our New Retro Dining product line is for indoor use only, and therefore any damage caused by exposure to the elements, such as precipitation, salt-air or ultra violet rays, is not covered by this Warranty.  Even where Artista Gallery, Inc. was apprised of the final destination of an order, it is not liable under this Warranty if the merchandise ordered was exposed to the elements.

This Warranty shall not apply to New Retro Dining merchandise which was exposed to harsh or acidic cleaning agents or abrasives.

Artista Gallery, Inc. reserves the right to make changes at any time, without notice, in materials, dimensions, specifications, equipment, colors, design or prices.  We also reserve the right to make such changes without any obligation to make comparable revisions and/or modifications on products manufactured at a previous time.

The cost of field repairs performed by non-authorized personnel will not be reimbursed unless expressly authorized in writing by Artista Gallery, Inc. prior to the repair.

Artista Gallery, Inc. does exclude upholstery from this warranty, whether the material is provided by New Retro Dining as C.O.M. (Customers Own Material).  However, warranties are often provided by the upholstery mill.

All upholstery and laminates are subject to warranty offered by the respective manufacturer.

FLAME RETARDANCY

Municipal requirements regarding flame retardancy for use in various types of facilities are constantly changing.  As part of our customized service, New Retro Dining offers a wide variety of upholstery, foam materials and barrier cloths to meet unique flame retardant specifications.

If a buyer must satisfy a particular code, e.g., State of Calif. Technical Bulletin 117-E, or Boston Fire Code (BFD 9-1), this must be clearly indicated on the purchase order.

Artista Gallery, Inc. will advise buyer of special pricing for this service, but Artista Gallery, Inc. is not liable for noncompliance with local code requirements if the buyer fails to advise Artista Gallery, Inc. of these requirements at the location where the merchandise will be used or stored.

Note; most flame retardant treatments are salt solutions.  Cleaning flame retardant upholstery therefore with water or water-based foams will result in salt ringing.  Solvent-based fabric cleaners or dry cleaning are alternate methods of cleaning.  However, buyer is cautioned to test proposed cleaning procedures on a small portion of fabric before proceeding with cleaning of the entire installation.

MAINTENANCE

To ensure durability and longevity of the New Retro Dining product line and customer satisfaction, periodic inspection and maintenance is necessary. Buyers should therefore advise their clients to inspect merchandise at regular intervals-particularly the joints, welds, swivels and other points of stress as well as missing glides, screws or bolts, and to clean and tightened screws and bolts, and grease parts where necessary. If repair parts are needed, use only authorized replacement parts and attachment methods.

If an item shows any sign of structural fatigue, it should be taken out of service immediately.  If covered under warranty, Artista Gallery, Inc. should be notified immediately. Any continued use of the product is at buyer's risk and Artista Gallery, Inc. Warranty will no longer be valid.
