Repairs, replacements and costs
The manufacturer agrees, at its option during the warranty period, to repair any defect in material or workmanship or to furnish a repaired or refurbished product of equal value in exchange without charge. For valid warranty claims, we will arrange and pay for any collection, shipping, handling, packing, return delivery and insurance required. Such repair or replacement is subject to verification of the defect or malfunction and proof of purchase as confirmed by showing the original dated sales receipt. If no manufacturing defect is found after inspection, we may charge reasonable costs for call out, collection or redelivery.
Materials, finishes and corrosive environments
Charlie products are designed to live outdoors all year round. Current Charlie Ovens and outdoor kitchen cabinets are constructed from high-quality 304 stainless steel, and exterior surfaces are protected by a durable, high-temperature powder-coated finish.
Although designed for outdoor use, no metal is completely immune to corrosion, and powder-coated surfaces can rust if the finish is scratched or dented. Exposure to salt-laden coastal air, sea spray, chlorine (including from pools and hot tubs), fertilisers, pesticides and other corrosive substances can cause surface staining, discolouration, pitting or rust, particularly on exposed metal components and on damaged areas of powder coating.
The warranty does not cover corrosion, rust, staining, discolouration, pitting, fading or other deterioration caused by environmental exposure or by damage to the finish, including from salt deposits, sea spray and chlorine. It continues to cover defects in materials, manufacture or the protective coating.
Customers in coastal environments should regularly clean exposed metal components using mild detergent and fresh water, rinse and dry them thoroughly, and inspect powder-coated surfaces for damage. Do not use abrasives, scourers or polishes on powder-coated surfaces. If you notice chips, scratches or other damage to the finish, please contact us for advice.
This exclusion does not affect cover for manufacturing defects or the customer's statutory rights.
