Cabinet Warranty
SEMBRO BEREZA STOCK CABINETS WARRANTY
Sembro Design & Supply (SemBro) extends the following limited warranty on SemBro
Semi-Custom Line, Sembro Stock Line, and Sembro Custom cabinets sold by SemBro
within the United States. Depending on the cabinet line, SemBro cabinets are
constructed from several pieces of solid wood, engineered wood, High-Density
Fiberboard (HDF), and/or wood veneers on plywood. This Limited Warranty is only
applicable to Products sold to the original purchasing consumer on or after January 1,
2020. SemBro Design & Supply warrants that all cabinets purchased from SemBro will
be free from all unnatural defects in material and workmanship under normal residential
use for 5 YEARS from the date of the original purchase or as long as the original
purchasing consumer owns the home in which such cabinets are installed, whichever is
less. This warranty is non-transferable to subsequent owners of the home. Door hinges
and all drawer glide systems, including system hardware (lift system), however, are
warranted for only 1 YEAR under normal residential use from the date of the original
purchase.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO ALL LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS,
DISCLAIMERS, AND PROCEDURES SET FORTH HEREIN.
– The warranty does not cover defects caused by improper handling, storage, dirt,
chemicals, abrasive or citrus cleaning products, installation, assembly or disassembly,
transit or other intentional or negligent damage, product modifications, exposure to
extreme moisture, humidity or excessive heat or cold (temperature outside the range of
50-85°F and humidity outside of the range of 30-55% are considered extreme), nor
does it cover defects arising from normal wear and tear, misuse, neglect, accidents,
alterations, improper use, exposure to improper loads, or failure to maintain properly.
Any modification to the hardware structure or finish of the original consumer purchaser’s
cabinetry by anyone other than those specifically authorized by SemBro to do so shall
void this limited liability warranty. The product must be used exclusively for its intended
purpose to be covered by this limited liability warranty. This limited liability warranty
shall become void if the cabinets or any components or parts thereof are in any way
modified, improperly installed, or damaged before or during installation, or installed or
used in other than normal residential applications.
– Natural woods may vary in color, grain pattern, and characteristics and exhibit subtle
changes as they age. Wood characteristics that naturally occur, such as variations in
color, grain, mineral streaks, and knots, are not considered defects. SemBro will not be
held responsible for these variations in your cabinetry. For example, painted and or
stained doors, drawer fronts, and face frames may eventually have visible cracking
around the joint area, and cabinet colors may darken or lighten over time. These
conditions are considered a normal occurrence and are not included or covered by this
limited liability warranty. A glazed finish by character is an uneven finish. Some edges
and profiles will have heavier hang-ups than others and glazing may vary from cabinet
to cabinet, from door to drawer, and item to item. This may result in overall color
variations but is not considered a defect. UV light, Sunlight, smoke, household cleaners,
and other environmental conditions may also affect the color and integrity of the
Product’s finish or appearance over time. These variations are considered to be the
nature of the material in relation to their environmental exposure and are not considered
defects in material or workmanship and are not covered under this Limited Warranty.
Mitered door joints, in particular, are likely to react to the conditions of their
environment. Gaps that may develop indoor joints due to conditions of their environment
are not included or covered by this limited liability warranty. This limited liability warranty
does not cover or apply to hairline cracks of cabinetry; hairline cracks are unavoidable
in wood cabinets given the nature of the material. Every species and grade of solid
wood behaves in such a way as to eventually result in hairline cracks.
● Painted finishes react differently than stained finishes with normal wood
movement, and climatic conditions may result in breaks in the finish, recesses,
and joint and panel lines. These conditions are considered a normal occurrence
and are not included or covered by this limited liability warranty.
– Wood is wood and expansion and contraction still happen year after year as it
compensates and adjusts to ever-changing atmospheric humidity and temperature
conditions. Observing shrink, expansion on center panels of doors is very common. It
will return to its natural position within a couple of months once it has adjusted to
seasonal changes. For the same reason, all door warpages greater than 1⁄4” will be
warranted. Please remove all doors and check them on a flat surface for the above-
stated warpage before requesting a replacement.
