EXCLUSIONS
The following items are specifically excluded from the POLYWOOD limited commercial
warranty. POLYWOOD shall not be liable for any failure, defect, or damage resulting from or connected with the following:
- Fading, color change, or color match—POLYWOOD lumber is made with UV-stabilizers to minimize fading; however, upon exposure to the sun, all colors will fade to some degree. To minimize possible fading: keep product covered, utilize cushions where applicable, minimize direct sunlight by storing product when not in use, or use a UV-protectant.
- Color or pattern variance between any new replacement section or pieces and other
sections or pieces.
- Rust or corrosion of stainless steel or zinc coated steel hardware.
- Rust or corrosion of steel frames.
- Assembly or handling of products after they leave our factory, including any lack of
performance or improper performance in any way by the dealer or assembler.
- Abnormal use of products.
- Improper use of products with fire components, such as lighting a Crystal Fire burner without using the glass guard.
- The application of paint, varnish, or other coating or chemical not approved by POLYWOOD or the application of heat or radiation from an external source, such as a barbecue grill, another appliance, fire, or reflection from windows or doors.
- Any lack of compatibility between our products and any other product not manufactured by us that causes damage to or failure of our products.
- Post-delivery labor, transportation, or assembly costs.
- Damage caused by, among other things, use of incompatible accessories, intentional acts, unreasonable use, misuse, physical abuse, permanent deformation or destruction by human or animal, vandalism, riot, insurrection or civil disorder, accidents, or corrosive atmospheres (such as those contaminated by acid rain, harmful chemicals or vapors), or any act of God (such as fire, flooding, hurricane, earthquake, tornado, lightning, ice, etc.), environmental condition (such as air pollution, mold, mildew, etc.), staining from foreign substances (such as dirt, grease, oil, etc.), or normal weathering (defined as exposure to sunlight, weather, and atmosphere which may cause any colored surface to gradually fade, darken, chalk, or accumulate dirt or stains).
- Assembly of hardware, accessory items, or defects caused by their assembly.
We reserve the right to discontinue or modify any product line or color without notifying the Purchaser. If the original product is not available, we retain the right to choose to provide replacement material of equal value or quality.
No person or entity is authorized by POLYWOOD to make and POLYWOOD shall not be bound by any statement or representation as to the quality or performance of POLYWOOD products other than as contained in this warranty. This warranty may not be altered or amended except in a written instrument signed by POLYWOOD and Purchaser.
Under no circumstances will POLYWOOD be liable for special, incidental, or consequential
damages, whether such damages are sought in contract, in tort (including but not limited to negligence and strict liability), or otherwise, and POLYWOOD’s liability with respect to defective products shall in no event exceed the replacement of such products or return of the purchase price, as described above.
Some states do not allow the exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
This warranty shall only be applicable and enforceable in the United States of America and
Canada.
Proper maintenance of your product is required to support the benefits of this warranty. This warranty is voided in the event that there are indications of abuse or neglect to the furniture. This warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear effects on POLYWOOD products, which are received by regular use of the products.
COMMERCIAL VS. RESIDENTIAL USAGE
POLYWOOD furniture is designed, tested, and warranted based on its intended use and
application, as defined below and further described in applicable product specifications, care guidelines, and published performance parameters.
Residential usage means non-commercial, non-income-producing personal use of furniture by a single household, where the furniture is placed at a private residence and used primarily by members of that household and their invited guests.
Commercial usage means use of furniture in public, institutional, business, revenue-generating, or income-producing environments—including, without limitation, hospitality settings, multifamily common areas, workplaces, retail locations, restaurants, resorts, short-term or transient rental properties, and other properties where the furniture is provided for or accessible to tenants, guests, customers, or other non-household occupants. Placement of furniture in any rental or income-producing property constitutes commercial usage when the furniture is made available for use by individuals other than the property owner’s household.
Use of POLYWOOD furniture outside of its applicable usage classification, or in a manner inconsistent with published specifications, care instructions, or performance parameters, may result in accelerated wear and may void or limit applicable warranties, representations, or other protections, as permitted by law.
This warranty is effective for products purchased on or after 1/1/2026. For warranty information for POLYWOOD products purchased prior to 1/1/2026, please contact customerservice@patioshoppers.com.
