These Amber Leaf cabinets and related cabinet work manufactured and assembled by Amber Leaf are warranted to the original purchasing consumer forOne (1) year from the date of original purchase oraslong asthe original purchasing consumer owns thehome, whichever is less, against avoidable and unnatural defects inmaterial andworkmanship under normal use.

 

INTENDED USE OF PRODUCT:

To be covered by this warranty, the product must be used for its intended purposes. Cabinets that have been improperly stored, installed, misused, modified, abused, mishandled, and/or subject to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures are not covered under this warranty. Whether the work was performed by a contractor, Amber Leaf Cabinetry authorized dealer or yourself, any expenses involved in the shipping, removal, installation, or consequent damage of the defective product is not covered under this warranty. This warranty does not apply to products installed in mobile homes or recreational vehicles.

 

ANTICIPATED VARIANCE IN PRODUCT

The Amber Leaf Cabinetry warranty only applies to product defects and does not apply to properties of natural wood that are subjective in natural wood species. Anytime you have a natural wood product, occurrences such as pinholes, knots, and variance in color or grain must be anticipated and, therefore, are not covered under this warranty. Prolonged exposure to light, heat, or aging may cause a change in color. Any event caused by environmental or chemical effects to the product are not covered under this warranty.

 

The properties of natural wood are such that it can react to climatic or humidity changes found within most homes. As much as half of the weight of freshly cut is water. Amber Leaf Cabinetry doors and face frames are manufactured from solid wood that has been carefully kiln dried, retaining just enough moisture from proper construction and finishing. The center panels are wood. As a product of nature, solid hardwoods continue to react to their surroundings long after manufacture. When wood cabinet doors are in a warm, moist environment (high relative humidity), the wood expands. In a dry, colder environment (low relative humidity), the wood will contract. Expansion and contraction can be controlled but never eliminated even with humidity regulation.

 

Door panels are prone to minor expansion and contraction as seasonal temperature and humidity changes occur in a home. The contraction or shrinkage of the center door panel during low humidity periods may result in the appearance of an unfinished line along the edge of the center panel. Amber Leaf Cabinetry does not consider the appearance of an unfinished line as a product defect and will not replace doors due to this situation. It is recommended that a humidity control system is incorporated in a home to reduce the possibility of expansion and contraction in wood products. Touch-up markers are made available through your authorized Amber Leaf Cabinetry dealer to cover this edge line.

All of the doors for Amber Leaf Cabinetry are manufactured in moisture-controlled environments under precise tolerances. Although slight door warpage can be common in one or two doors within a newly installed kitchen, any door that has not hung through a complete heating and cooling cycle has the possibility of warping. Slight warpage can be eliminated through adjustments in the 6-way adjustable hinges. Amy warpage that exceeds the capability of adjustments to the hinges should be further examined by removing the door from the cabinet and placing it on a flat surface. If the warpage cannot be eliminated through hinge adjustments, Amber Leaf will consider replacement of said door.

 

Normal movement is typical on wood products, certain climatic conditions can cause finish breaks, recesses, and joint and panel lines. An open joint line is not considered a defect and is not covered under this warranty. Proper humidification of homes in extremely dry environments is strongly recommended.

 

PRODUCT REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT

Throughout the duration of the warranty period, Amber Leaf Cabinetry’s sole obligation is to repair or replace any defective product for no charge at the discretion of Amber Leaf Cabinetry.

• Repairing or replacing the defective product with a new product of the same style.

• Repairing or replacing the defective product with a product of equal value and complementary style in order to maintain the appearance of the original cabinetry purchase.

An exact match between the finish of the original purchased product and the replacement or repaired product is not guaranteed.
