Warranty Performance

We periodically update our product lines. If a warranty claim is made on an obsolete or changed product, we will replace the part with a new part of the same or similar style. However, there may be slight variations in new products. We may repair or replace the defective material or component at our discretion, free of charge. This warranty does not cover labor or removal & reinstallation costs for countertops, plumbing fixtures, electrical appliances, or related materials.

Limitations

This warranty is exclusive and Village Handcrafted Cabinetry is not liable for incidental or consequential damages. No dealer or agent has the authority to alter this warranty.

Natural Wood Characteristics

Natural wood may vary in color, texture, and grain, even within the same species. Over time, wood can exhibit subtle changes as it ages, and finishes may vary in tone and grain characteristics. Environmental factors like sunlight, smoke, and household cleaners can accelerate these changes. These variations are considered normal and are not covered under this warranty.
