3. What is not covered by the Warranty?

This Warranty does not apply to:

any exclusions specifically listed for the relevant product or component in the above table; and
where the Warranty would normally apply but the product has:
been delivered to a locality outside of New Zealand whether by King, another third party or the original purchaser; and
at any stage during the use of the product by the original purchaser, the purchaser transports the product to a locality outside of New Zealand; and
not been purchased directly from King; and
been modified or changed without approval from King; and
had any product tags removed, altered or defaced; and
where the Warranty would normally apply to applicable components but the productor components of the product have:
not been purchased directly from King; and
been modified or changed without approval from King; and
had any product tags removed, altered or defaced; and
fabrics supplied by you or outside suppliers. Please note that fabrics and leathers supplied by an outside supplier may be covered by the supplier’s own warranties; and
normal wear and tear associated with the products and components. Fabrics, leathers, suspension components, cushioning and fillings will show signs of wear and tear with use. Fabrics and leathers will fade and crease. Foam and fillings will soften and form to the shape of the user over time. Depending on the covering and the degree of use, the covering materials, cushion fillings and suspension may need to be replaced periodically at the purchaser’s expense. Scars, marks and differing pore density and colour are natural characteristics of leather and are not to be considered defects. King reserves the right to determine at its discretion whether a component has failed due to a defect or wear and tear. Any item requiring replacement due to wear and tear will be at your own expense; and
colour variations caused by exposure to the local environment for products including but not limited to fabrics, leathers, timber veneer and solid timber, except where both of the following are satisfied:
the products and components are ‘Sunbrella’ fabrics as specified in Item 8 of the Warranty; and
the products and components become unserviceable within the applicable Warranty period due to loss of colour and/or strength from normal usage and exposure to local conditions, including sunlight, mildew and atmospheric chemicals; and
damage caused by use of parts and consumables that are not the genuine manufacturer’s parts and consumables. Please note that for any item that is not actually manufactured by King, we will only provide that repair or replacement service to the extent that we can obtain the manufacturer’s approval to do so on their behalf, otherwise we will not offer that repair or replacement warranty for such item; and
freight, call-out fees, labour and other items associated with making a claim under this Warranty where the claim is an invalid warranty claim. If the claim is a valid warranty claim, then King will only be liable for the costs that it has pre-approved in writing, where pre-approval must be obtained by you prior to you incurring those costs. All costs for which pre-approval in writing is not obtained by you in accordance with this paragraph are excluded from this Warranty and they will be charged to you at standard King rates; and
products or components that become defective as a consequence of misuse, lack of proper care and maintenance, commercial use or handling in transit. You must use and maintain the products and components in accordance with the care instructions for the relevant product and component as provided on King’s website and any other information made available you by King. If a component of a product becomes defective, you must not attempt to repair it yourself. Doing so may cause damage which is not covered by this Warranty.

This Warranty only applies to the original purchaser of the products where the products are delivered to a New Zealand delivery address and remain in New Zealand for the life of the product. You cannot assign or transfer any benefit conferred by this Warranty. All subsequent purchasers acquire the products ‘as is’ and without the protection of the Warranty.

• any increased profits or expenses; and
• any loss of profit, revenue, business, contracts or anticipated savings; and
• any loss or expense resulting from a claim by a third party; and

• you are acquiring the product for the purposes of a business in terms of sections 2 and 43(2) of the CGA;

7. Limitations on Disclaimer

If the supply of the products to you is a consumer sale pursuant to the New Zealand Consumer Law, the following statement applies. In the following statement, ‘our’ means King and ‘you’ means the purchaser:
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the New Zealand Consumer Law. The remedy you will be entitled to if a product fails depends on whether the failure is substantial or minor and whether or not the fault can be xed. In the case of a minor failure we can choose to replace or repair the product, or offer you a refund if we cannot reasonably be expected to repair the product. If we do not remedy the fault or take too long to remedy it you may be able to elect to have the fault xed by a third party and recover the cost from us (subject to certain conditions). If there is a failure of a substantial character, you are entitled to return the product for a replacement, or a refund or keep the product and claim compensation for any reduction in the value of the product below the price paid or payable. You may also be able to claim compensation for other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage resulting from the failure. If you discover a fault or failure with the product, please contact us as soon as possible. Where the failure is of a substantial character and you intend to request a refund for the product, you must contact us within a reasonable period, otherwise you might lose your right to that refund. The benefits given by this Warranty are additional to other rights and remedies that you may have in relation to our products. Any paragraph of this Warranty which is unenforceable or void is to be severed and the rest of this Warranty will remain in force.
