LIMITED WARRANTY
Frames and Powder Coat: If your Telescope powder coat aluminum frame or
marine grade polymer frame fails structurally during normal usage within
the applicable warranty period (as defined below), we will repair,
refinish or replace the frame without charge, parts and labor included.
(In the case of discontinued models or finishes, we will replace the
item with the closest comparable current model.) Products covered by our
frame warranty are identified in this catalog as either 15/5, 15/3, 15/1
or no identification at all. 15/5 indicates a frame warranty period of
15 years in residential use/5 years in contract use. 15/3 indicates a
frame warranty period of 15 years in residential use/3 years in contract
use. 15/1 indicates a frame warranty period of 15 years in residential
use/1 year in contract use. No indication indicates a frame warranty
period of 1 year in residential use and that there is no frame warranty
in contract use. All warranty periods commence on the date of purchase.
Contract use includes any rental, business, commercial, institutional,
or other non-residential use.
The powder coat finish on our powder coat aluminum frame furniture is
warranted against peeling, cracking or blistering for a period of 3
years from the date of purchase. Failure of the powder coat finish due
to abrasion, including abrasion caused by stacking the furniture against
other furniture or scraping against other surfaces, is not covered by
this warranty.
The following products are not covered by our frame and powder coat
warranties: table tops, umbrellas, umbrella bases, wood furniture,
cushions, slings, straps, wicker fibers, and folding aluminum furniture.
Non-Glass Table Tops: Non-glass table tops are warranted to be free from
manufacturing defects for 3 years from date of purchase. Fading or
staining of the table surface is not included under warranty. Tables
must not be stored upside down.
Umbrellas and Umbrella Bases: Umbrellas and umbrella bases are warranted
to be free of manufacturing defects for either 1 year or 3 years from
the date of purchase, as identified in our catalog and price lists by
the following indicators: 3/3 indicates 3 years in residential use/3
years in contract use; 1/1 indicates 1 year in residential use/1 year in
contract use. Cast iron and steel bases, if not properly maintained,
will rust if the finish is scratched through to the metal. If this
occurs, the base must be touched up with an acrylic based paint.
Wood Furniture, Cushions, Slings, and Folding Aluminum Furniture: Wood
furniture, cushions, slings, and folding aluminum furniture are
warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for 1 year from the date
of purchase in residential use only. They are not warranted for contract
use.

discoloration for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase. In the
case of breakage or gross discoloration (our judgment), replacement
straps will be provided but labor is not included.
Wicker Fibers: The wicker fibers featured in our Wicker Collections are
warranted by the fiber manufacturer for 3 years from the date of
purchase. Please refer to our Price Index or contact our Customer
Service Department for details on this wicker fiber warranty.
Other Warranty Limitations and Exclusions: The natural weathering of
wood finishes, breakage of glass, fading, staining and mildewing of
fabrics, slings and strapping, the compression of cushion fillings, and
the rusting of umbrella bases are not covered under our warranties.
Freeze or ice damage is not covered by our warranties. Furniture stored
outside or in other cold storage should be drained of any water. If
allowed to freeze inside the furniture, water can damage the tubing.
These warranties do not cover the failure of furniture that, in our
opinion, was caused by acts of God, accident, neglect, improper shipping
or handling, or by unreasonable or abusive use, and these warranties are
void if our care and maintenance instructions were not properly
followed. Furniture used in a contract (commercial) setting is not
warranted unless it is specifically designated for contract or
commercial use in our catalog.
All warranties are to the original purchaser from authorized dealers
only. Warranties are not transferable.
Warranties are for repair, replacement or substitution only, in our sole
discretion.
These warranties apply only to furniture manufactured by Telescope
Casual Furniture, Inc., after September 1, 1986.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL
TELESCOPE CASUAL FURNITURE, INC. BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF IT HAD REASON TO KNOW IN ADVANCE THAT
SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS AND YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO
JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION AND
LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN THE EVENT THE WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
DO NOT APPLY TO YOU, THEN, WHERE LEGALLY PERMISSIBLE, SUCH WARRANTIES
ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD AND NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.

Church Street, Granville, NY 12832, stating the problem, providing

prior written authorization from our Customer Service Department. After
authorization is received your furniture must be returned to the factory
in proper packaging, freight prepaid.
Marine Grade Polymer Frame
Avoid teak oil and other products that can stain the finish. Avoid heat sources that exceed 180 degrees F. Only routine cleaning with common detergents is required. Nylon scrub pads and brushes should be used with care because excessive force can mar the finish. For resistant stains, apply bleach and allow it to soak in. Use citrus cleaner, alcohol or mineral spirits to remove grease or oil stains. Automotive silicone spray products or household furniture polish can help to hide scratches in the surface.
Solution Dyed Acrylics, Olefins and Mesh Fabrics Spot wash dirt with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, then air-dry. To clean stubborn stains, in a ventilated area, prepare a mild solution of one cup bleach plus two caps full of a natural soap per gallon of water. Spray the entire area, and scrub vigorously if necessary. You may wish to spray the acrylic and olefin fabrics with Scotchguard after washing. Do not use pine oil cleansers.
PVC/Acrylic Blends
Dirt can be removed with a soapy solution of warm water and Ivory Liquid. Rinse and allow to dry.
Aluminum Frames, including Powder Coat
To keep furniture looking new, use Soft Scrub or similar non-abrasive products to remove scuff marks and scratches. Use lemon oil for protection and natural soap and water for cleaning.
Winter Maintenance
Furniture that will be stored outside or in other cold areas should be drained of any water to avoid ice damage in the tubing.
