CableShade’s 10-year Manufacturer’s Warranty
Acceptable Condition CableShade does guarantee that the Shades and accessories ordered
are new, and in new condition upon day of delivery. And, that the ordered items are as the
requested size -- as per the customer’s original intent, which is noted in the NOTES TO
RECIPIENT of the initial Invoice. This ensures that the customer does receive the fabric and
fabric color intended, the parts needed for installation; and, that all components that are
expressed in the initial CableShade Order (Invoice) are new and received in acceptable
condition.
Fabric CableShade honors the Manufacturer’s Warranty of the fabric of choice. Some fabrics
have a 10 year fabric Warranty (such as most of Sunbrella’s Marina/Shade fabrics – except for
Firesist, Alloy, Unity, Clarity, and Plus Sunbrella fabric lines which have a 5 year fabric
Warranty). CableShade customers should review the fabric-manufacturer’s posted Warranty in
addition to the CableShade workmanship and components Warranty, and make purchasing
decisions therefrom.
• Note: Depending on the fabric selected for the CableShades, fraying may or may not
occur over the years. CableShade sends a tube of LocTite fabric Sealer with each Shadeorder
with instructions for the customer to apply such over any suspect edge fraying should
such fraying (or a mishap tear) occur; this will stop further fraying. Fraying is a rare
occurrence, but even so, it is incumbent upon the customer to be vigilant in watching for
such and applying the clear-sealant. Such fraying is usually caused by the fabric rubbing
against the frame, or banters against the house-wall or header when retracted (the built-in
back-side ‘hangdown’ is a protective insurance against this. Often customers elect ‘not’ to
have the hangdown for aesthetics purposes or other reasons; under these circumstances,
this CableShade Warranty (nor the fabric-manufacturer’s Warranty) does ‘not’ cover costs
of replacement or repair. The Loctite is a simple and sure remedy if fraying should occur.
Should the fabric unravel otherwise, this, then, would be subject to all Fabric manufacturer’s
Warranty’s implied therein.
Workmanship and Fit CableShade does hereby Warranty the workmanship (fitting of
fabric, crossbars, fittings, etc.) for a period of 10 years from time of purchase—IF the initial
order was measured and installed correctly (to fit the intended space, and installed
correctly—with no impediments that might cause wear or harm to the shades). In other
words, the delivered CableShades are expected to fit per the dimensions/measurements
yielded ‘from customer’ to CableShade upon initial ordering. If the customer’s initial
measurements yielded to CableShade are incorrect, this misfortune is not expected to be
covered by this CableShade Warranty. If the installer did not follow the simple install
instructions (each order is customized specific), then CableShade’s Warranty does not
apply.
Components CableShade 10 Year Warranty also includes the durability and function of the
‘included components’ (meaning those items/components CableShade sent with, included with,
the CableShade order for assembly)—that the components do not rust or break or fail to
function as reasonably intent of its purpose. These components include: stainless steel cables
and cable- clamps (wire rope clips); stainless steel turnbuckles; stainless steel eyelets;
stainless steel eyelet lags and eye-bolts/nuts; stainless steel ‘nose hook’ on each Shade;
stainless steel carabineer clips for fastening. Other items not herein listed which the customer
may need for final assembly/installation are not included in this warranty – only those items
included in original CableShade order and initial delivery of such order.
Shipping Concerns and Processing of Warranty Claim: If the CableShade order is
damaged upon receipt of shipment from CableShade (UPS or otherwise-related shipping
damage), CableShade will cover the shipping return costs, re- manufacture or repair costs, and
re-delivery costs. However, the customer is required to ‘refuse’ the shipment as ‘damaged’ –
OR, to supply CableShade pictures of the ‘unopened’ box/container shipping damage AND the
opened inside of box/container ‘product damage’ on the day of delivery. In other words,
CableShade needs to see evidence that the damage was caused by the Shipping agent, not a
cause ‘after’ the delivery had been accepted by customer. Often it is that a customer will use a
sharp object to open a box or to unwrap, and accidently damage the contents—circumstance
such as this is ‘not’ covered by CableShade Warranty.
• Note: If there is reason for a Warranty claim AFTER the initial day of delivery (a Claim as
per this CableShade expressed Warranty), the customer shall cover the packing and
shipping costs to CableShade. CableShade shall replace or repair at no additional cost to
customer, and cover the return shipping costs.
• Note: All Warranty Claims must have pictures of the issue that are sent to CableShade
for written or emailed approval of action to be taken before time and expense of repackaging
and shipping back to CableShade.
What is NOT Covered:
1. Warranty does not cover Installation or installation issues ‘unless’ installation is provided
for or done by CableShade.
2. Warranty does not cover excessive storm damage, or other acts of God damage such as
earthquake, hail, hurricane, lightening, tree/branch-falling damage, snow, or damage caused by
heat or fire-related damage, or damage by anyone caused by (for instance) blunt forced
object or sharp object mishap.
3. Warranty does not cover if it is determined the customer or the Installer (if other than
CableShade installer) torqued the cables or any of the components too tightly – causing
the cable to shred/break or the threads of stainless components to strip. As per supplied
instructions, all tensions are to be ‘hand-tight’ not torqued beyond ‘hand-tight.’ If, for
instance, the Installer caused the cable to unravel during installation (at the 90 degree
corner eyelet mounts) and that cable breaks, this, then, is not a Warrantable occurrence.
4. Warranty does not cover if it is determined the customer or the Installer (if other than
CableShade installer) modified any of the CableShades’ composition or workmanship.
5. Warranty does not cover any portion or part of the frame/pergola, house-connections,
deck/patio-connections.
6. All Warranties of CableShade or of fabric manufacturer—applies only to original
purchaser and is not transferable to a successive party – unless the initial purchaser
placed the CableShade order FOR the 2nd party (such as a retailer or contractor,
purchasing for a client/customer). The owner of the site where the CableShades are
initially installed are considered herein “the original owner/purchaser”.
7. Warranty does not cover damage caused by the customer or customers’ arranged
installer--such as scratches or tears caused by dragging the shades, or a slip of a tool
or other damaging object before, during, or after the installation. This includes any spills
of a damaging liquid or other permanent-staining agent such as oils, inks from a marker,
etc.
Reiteration and Summary Warranty does not include wear and tear of shades hitting against
any part of your home or frame. Warranty does not cover the integrity of the installation nor the
frame/pergola -- unless installer is a CableShade arranged installer who ‘built’ the
frame/pergola/mounting points. Warranty does not cover damage from an excessive storm or
other “acts of god” circumstances.
No other Warranty or Claim is expressed or implied other than herein noted.
