Warranty and Certificate of Authenticity

Limited Warranty

As of February 5, 2025

 

Galante Design Studio LLC (GDS), 146 Mt Auburn St. Cambridge MA 02138, warrants the design objects sold by GDS to be without material and craftsmanship defects upon delivery and for the warranty period mentioned below.  This warranty applies to the sale of GDS design objects in all countries.

 

A one-year warranty is provided for all GDS design objects purchased for display as fine art. If, at the owner’s discretion, GDS objects are utilized for functional use other than for artistic display, then damage or injury incurred during such usage is at the owner’s risk and such usage shall be carried out with acknowledgment of the design object’s sole, intended purpose, which is foremost to present as a fine art object. GDS disclaims all other warranties regarding its design objects.

 

During the aforementioned warranty period and at its discretion, GDS will repair or replace any product or part covered under this warranty with a comparable product or part if due to defective material or craftsmanship. Ordinary wear and tear of surface finishes (scratches, chips, dents, and other surface damage caused through its intended use or by outside impact or as a result of non-intended use) are not covered under this warranty. Assembly parts and joinery components that have been tampered with, removed, replaced, or otherwise affected by outside damage, are not covered under this warranty.

 

GDS does not warrant variations in wood grain, figure, and markings natural to its wood species. Color changes as a result of light exposure and age, and defects caused by environmental conditions are not covered under this warranty. GDS does not warrant consumer-supplied items nor design objects exposed to extreme conditions, improper use, improper storage, and improper transport.

 

This warranty applies only to the original purchaser, the “owner”, of a design object from GDS LLC and is non-transferable. Any applicable defect covered by this warranty must be in original condition and appropriately maintained to be eligible for replacement or repair. This warranty becomes void immediately upon the implementation of user modifications, improper care, augmentation of its original design, and/or improper use of all design objects covered under this warranty. The warranty period begins immediately upon the departure of the effective design object from GDS’ inventory.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, all implied warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, are disclaimed. Where such warranties are required by law, their duration is limited to the term of this written warranty.

 

GDS LLC will not be responsible for any loss of time, inconvenience, commercial damages, or incidental or consequential losses.

 

This document details all warranties provided concerning GDS’ design objects.
