Limited Warranty

WARRANTY COVERAGE

 

OTTO & SOHN USA INC warrants, to the original purchaser, subject to the conditions and restrictions stated below, that the siliding systems, door hinges, grip handles, handle bars and locking mechanisms of its products shall be free of defects in workmanship and materials, for a period of two years from the invoice date. Please note that we do not warrant all types of doors and shower screens.

 

During this period OTTO & SOHN USA INC. will, in its sole discretion, provide the new or reconditioned replacement parts (determined by OTTO & SOHN USA INC) necessary to make the repairs, without charge to you. The warranty on the replacement parts will extend only for the balance of the warranty period of the original product. In no event shall OTTO & SOHN USA INC be responsible for the cost of labor, installation, sales tax, finishing, or any other associated or incidental cost, for either the original or the replacement parts, unless expressly required by state law.

 

OTTO & SOHN USA INC reserves the right to discontinue or change the design and specification of any product it manufactures. Should the component of the product originally installed not be available, OTTO & SOHN USA INC. shall have the right to substitute such part determined by OTTO & SOHN USA INC to be of equal quality and performance.

 

Please note that any warranty services or questions must be accompanied by the order number from the transaction through which the warranted product was purchased. The order number serves as your warranty number and must be retained. OTTO & SOHN USA INC will offer no warranty service without this number.

 

EXCLUSIONS

 

  • Condensation, frost, mold, mildew, corrosion, or fungus on product surfaces.
  • Temporary thermal expansion or bowing resulting from direct sunlight and/or significant differential between indoor and outdoor temperatures.
  • Raw Unfinished, Finish Ready and Primer White doors DO NOT HAVE A WARRANTY and should be finished as soon as possible upon arrival. Solid wood doors are susceptible to weather, temperature and moisture if left unfinished. Our doors are manufactured to the highest standard and utilize solid engineered lumber, but if left unfinished are likely to warp. The nature of wood, if left unfinished, is susceptible to change (splitting, separating, warping, twisting) that we can not be responsible for.

 

This limited warranty does not include defects or damages attributable to improper installation, application, use, or maintenance; normal weathering; corrosive or otherwise abnormal environments; defects or damages caused by accident, fire, flood, acts of God, multiple hurricanes, water intrusion, including but not limited to water intrusion caused by wind-driven rain due to high wind events, vandalism, riot or civil disorder, building settlement, excessive building movement or structural failures of walls or foundations; or occurrences beyond OTTO & SOHN USA INC’s control.

 

This limited warranty shall be null and void if harmful solvents are used to clean the product; or if any portion of the product is painted or coated in any way; or if any other “aftermarket” products, are applied to the product.

In the event state law precludes exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, the manner of presenting any claim thereon shall be the same as that provided in the express warranty stated herein.
