9.3 All wooden furniture carries a 12-year frame and construction guarantee against faulty workmanship and/or faulty materials.
9.4 Guarantees may not be assigned to a third party.

10.1 Fabric batches may vary. All our fabrics may have slight variations between batches. The most common variation is that of colour – though the actual variation is often almost negligible or very slight. Some fabrics are more susceptible to this than others.

10.3 We cannot accept any responsibility for fading or discolouration, due to exposure to direct or indirect sunlight.

10.4 We cannot accept any responsibility for fading or discolouration, due to exposure or contact with any chemicals sprayed nearby or applied directly. Please also note that there are certain aerosol sprays, most particularly odour neutralisers and nicotine neutralisers that contain certain chemicals that can react with fabric dyes (the cans should warn against spraying close to upholstery without first covering it).

We therefore cannot accept any responsibility for misuse of Impala fabric by allowing such liquids, materials or substances coming into contact with it.
