Our products are warranted for a period of six months against defects in finish, pumps and other product performance issues.  Light bulbs are not warranted.  Our experience has shown that in practically 100% of incidents that any defect is apparent within a week of installation and use.  Appearance defects should be noticed upon unpacking the fountain. We have found that finishes have ‘failed’ due to poor maintenance, local water conditions with minerals affecting the finish, attempts to clean with harsh chemicals or abrasive pads being used.   Performance of water flow, spitting, and other ‘leaks’, are usually caused by debris getting into the fountain, buildup of minerals, algae from poor water or lack of maintenance. Pumps can also fail due to water levels not being maintained in the reservoir and this is not covered by the warranty. 

 

Manufacturer Defect
Bluworld product is warranted against defects that render it unfit for its reasonably intended use. When the product is received by the consumer, the item must be inspected to insure that there are no manufacturer defects. Products as determined by Bluworld that have a manufacturer’s defect may only be authorized by Bluworld to be returned for full credit within the first 30 days from the date of purchase. A manufacturer defect is defined as a distinct and obvious flaw in the manufacturing of the product that inhibits the product’s ability to function properly, or a distinct and obvious flaw in the workmanship of the product. Products using slate cannot be returned for manufacturer defect due to discrepancies in the style, color, shape, or cut of the slate, as slate is a natural product containing distinct and unique characteristics. If the consumer inspects the product and determines that the unit is not functioning properly, they must contactPatioShoppers.com within 72 hours to obtain an approval to have the product returned or exchanged. PatioShoppers.com will give the consumer instructions how to follow the return process.

 

Manufacturers Defect Defined - A distinct and obvious flaw in the manufacturing of the product that inhibits the product’s ability to function properly or a distinct and obvious flaw in the workmanship of the product that affects its physical appearance. Bluworld water features are manufactured under generally accepted manufacturing techniques as recognized by the International Organization of Standardization.  Our products are hand made and hand finished thus minor scratches in materials within accepted ranges are not considered defects. 

 

Slate- Many of our products contain natural slate. Slate can vary to a large degree and that individuality is what is considered to be unique and inherent to the beauty of the natural product as no two are exactly alike. Photos in our marketing materials are representative of our slate products but should not be relied on to duplicate the photo. We use natural mined slate in our products.  Personal taste in the appearance of slate is not considered a reason for a return 

 

Mirrors - We use tempered mirror in our water features for safety reasons and the process of tempering the mirror may cause the mirrors not to reflect images in the same manner of a non-tempered mirror which is designed to reflect images in their true form. When water is flowing over our tempered mirror surfaces, these slight differences are not noticeable and this is not considered a reason for a return.  

 

Copper- Since we have numerous products manufactured with natural pure copper it is important to note that we do protect the copper with a clear heat-baked on powder coat material. This material should last for a minimum of one year but water conditions may affect the length of protection it will afford to the copper. Copper oxidizes differently than other metals and personal tastes differ as to an individual’s perception of it. It may oxidize as a green oxidation or rose colored blush. You can minimize this by wiping down the oxidation and then applying wax or Pledge™ to that area. This condition is not a reason for a return or warranty claim.

 

9. Refused Orders and Cancellation Policy – Cancellations must be submitted 48 hours prior to order shipping.  If Bluworld ships an order within the conditions of the order and the order is refused or cancelled after shipping you will be subject to a 20% restocking fee.  You will also be charged for all costs incurred with outbound and return freight (including any redirection fees charged by the carrier).   The product must be returned in its original unopened carton and in resalable condition (including the condition of the box).  If the order was paid by credit card an additional charge of 3% will apply.
