United Shade LLC Limited Warranty


United Shade LLC ("United Shade") warrants to the Original Purchaser of United Shade manufactured equipment and parts, that all United Shade manufactured equipment and parts (collectively the "Products") will conform to their published written specifications and be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the "Retail Sale Date" of the Original Purchaser.  The term "Retail Sale Date" shall mean the date on which the Original Purchaser sold the vehicle containing the Product to the ultimate consumer of the vehicle and the Product.  If the Retail Sale Date cannot be determined, the commencement date for purposes of this Limited Warranty shall be the date found on the head rail of the Product at issue.  United Shade makes no warranty to any other individual or entity other than the Original Purchaser.

If any United Shade manufactured Product is found to be defective in workmanship or material within the one (1) year period from the Retail Sale Date, as determined solely by United Shade, United Shade, in its sole discretion, will either repair or replace the defective Product at United Shade's cost, including return shipping charges for Products found by United Shade to be defective.  The obligation of United Shade is limited to repair and return or replacement of the Product or components

 

A warranty claim will be honored only when:
 

  1. Original Purchaser has contacted the Customer Service Department at United Shade regarding any such defect in material or workmanship in the Product within the period set forth above;
 
  2. United Shade has issued a Return Goods Authorization ("RGA") number to the Original Purchaser, and such RGA appears on all packages, along with the name and complete shipping address of the Original Purchaser;
 
  3. The Product is packaged in a closed position so that the fabric is not damaged in transit.  The Product shall be packaged with the RGA number attached to such Product.  United Shade may refuse and return any Product sent without the RGA number affixed to the Product; and
 
  4. All Product returns must be "Freight Prepaid."  United Shade will not accept and may return product sent "Freight Collect."
 

Should damage occur to the Product during transit to United Shade, and should the Product be received by United Shade in a packaged condition other than prescribed above, Original Purchaser shall be responsible for all costs incurred, and this Limited Warranty shall not apply.

This Limited Warranty shall not apply to any Product that has been altered or repaired by anyone other than United Shade, or to defects or damages resulting from improper installation, misuse, negligence, accident, normal wear and tear, or that which deviates from the intended use of United Shade manufactured Product not specified by United Shade.  This includes broken strings in Products due to installation errors.  Restringing of Product will be subject to a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) fee per shade if it is confirmed, by United Shade in its sole discretion, that the strings were damaged during installation of the Product, or if the Product is outside the applicable period for this Limited Warranty.  This Limited Warranty shall not apply to any Products where any Product was replaced with any components not manufactured or supplied by United Shade.  The decision of United Shade shall be conclusive and binding on the Original Purchaser.

United Shade does not warrant that any Products sold to Original Purchaser meet or comply with any local, state, federal or other jurisdiction's regulations or codes.  Further, the directions for use of the Product are believed to be adequate and must be followed carefully.  However, it is important to eliminate all risks associated with the use of the Product.  All such risks shall be assumed by the Original Purchaser. 

United Shade does not warrant that any Product sold to Original Purchaser, when used individually or in concert with any other part, equipment, device, component or process, does not infringe on any patent rights of any third-party.  United Shade only warrants that it has no specific knowledge of any such infringement.

United Shade makes no warranty as to any product, parts or equipment manufactured by others.  Original Purchaser shall look solely and only to the manufacturer of such product, parts or equipment with respect to any warranty claims.  United Shade hereby assigns to Original Purchaser the original manufacturer's warranty to all such product, parts or equipment to the full extent permitted.
