1.1. Subject to the conditions and limitations set out below, D&D warrants that for so long as the original purchaser (the "Purchaser”) of a product manufactured by D&D owns that product (the "Product”) it will be free from all defects due to faulty design, materials or workmanship.

1.2. If a defect in the Product appears the Purchaser must advise D&D within 14 days of discovering the defect and return the defective item, comprising either the Product or the defective component of the Product (the "Item”) to D&D or its agent, freight prepaid, together with proof-of-purchase, whereupon D&D will, at its option and cost, repair or replace the defective Item with the same or an equivalent Product or component. D&D will not be liable for labour or any other costs associated with the dismantling, return or re-assembly of the Product or any frame or structure to which it is affixed.

1.3. This warranty does not apply in respect of defects due to, or arising from:
a.normal wear and tear;
b.the failure to follow any procedures specified
or recommended by D&D for the installation, operation and maintenance of the Product;
c.any act or circumstance beyond D&D’s control, including tampering, unauthorized repairs, misuse, abnormal use, abuse, accident, damage after delivery to the consumer, damage caused by events beyond human control, including, but not limited to, damage caused by animals or natural events, surface tarnishing, cosmetic or appearance damage and/or damage to components caused

by corrosion, weathering or other environmental conditions;
d.Staining or "tea staining” of stainless-steel components, parts or assemblies, is a natural process that may happen to any stainless-steel products if not cleaned regularly. Stainless steel is not stain-free, but stains less than ordinary carbon steel;

e.any defect of, or in, any framework or material supporting the Product; or
f.the faulty workmanship of any person other than D&D, including the installer of the Product. 1.4.Keys used in D&D’s products are excluded from the Warranty. A separate 12-month warranty applies to keys from the date of purchase, where D&D warrants the keys to be free of defects in material and workmanship during this specified period.

1.5. This warranty is personal to the Purchaser of the Product, or to the first consumer, where the Product has been installed by a contractor for the benefit of the consumer and may not be assigned without D&D’s prior written consent.

1.6. This warranty gives the Purchaser specific legal rights which are in addition to, and do not replace, other rights and remedies you may have at law and which may vary from state to state (provinces or territories) in your jurisdiction.

1.7. Except as expressly granted in this warranty or where to do so would contravene a law in the Purchaser’s jurisdiction, D&D’s liability as regards any contractor is limited in respect of all other loss, damage or injury of any kind whatsoever (including any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage, loss of profits or loss of opportunity) arising in connection with the Product, or the supply, condition or use of the Product, including as a result of any negligence, misrepresentation or other default on the part of D&D, its officers, employees, agents or contractors or otherwise, to the value paid by the contractor for the Product giving rise to loss, damage or injury.
