Warranty Info

KRAFTMAID RESERVE® TRANSFERABLE LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY

 

We know that you’ve put a great deal of time, thought and investment into the selection of your cabinetry, and we truly appreciate your decision to purchase KraftMaid Reserve® products. 

In the unlikely event that you encounter a problem with your cabinetry, we are ready and eager to assist you, subject to the terms of this Limited Warranty. 

This Limited Warranty is extended to the original Customer only for use of the product within the United States. This Limited Warranty may be transferred from the original Customer on one occasion, at which point the transferee would be in the position of the Customer. The transferee must register online within ninety (90) days of the change in home ownership to be recognized as the Customer. If the cabinetry was already installed at the time of transfer, this Limited Warranty will not apply if the cabinetry is relocated or reinstalled. The Limited Warranty cannot be further transferred at any time after the one-time transfer. No changes or modifications can be made to this Limited Warranty except by a company officer.

 

STATEMENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY

We firmly stand behind the quality of our products, and warrant to you, our Customer, that our cabinetry will be free from defects in material and workmanship under ordinary use for as long as they are owned by you.

 

LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

This Limited Warranty is limited to defects in material and workmanship and does not apply to:

  • Damage caused by the improper installation of your cabinets.
  • Damage, theft, or loss that occurs after we have properly delivered your cabinets to you, or your retailer, dealer, builder or contractor.
  • Issues with other products used or installed in connection with your cabinets including, but not limited to, appliances, countertops, or plumbing fixtures (including the costs to remove and reinstall such other products).
  • Damage caused by misuse, abuse, neglect, accident, alteration, improper or non-residential use, exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures, or other environmental factors in your home, including smoke damage, failure to maintain or acts of God.
  • Naturally occurring wood characteristics such as, but are not limited to, variations in color or grain pattern, and knots. These characteristics will be prominent through stained finishes and may be visible through painted finishes.
  • Natural joint movement and seam lines. Wood will expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity. Wood components, such as doors and frames, will develop seam lines, which include small joint separations and hairline cracks in the finish in locations where wood is joined together. Painted finishes are particularly prone to seam lines.
  • Changes in color and finish due to UV light, sunlight, smoke, household cleaners, and other environmental conditions and general aging. As cabinetry products age, the finish may mellow or discolor slightly.
  • Variations from samples and displays. Wood varies significantly from piece to piece. Wood finishes change in sheen and color over time due to exposure to natural and artificial light and other environmental factors. Because of this, new and or replacement cabinets may not match showroom displays, color chip samples, photographs in catalogs or websites, or existing cabinetry in your home.
  • Damage caused by ordinary wear and tear.

 

WARRANTY PERFORMANCE

In the event of a defect in material or workmanship within the terms and conditions set forth herein, we will repair or replace the product, at our sole option, without charge. If the affected product is no longer available, KraftMaid Reserve reserves the right to: (i) replace the affected component with a new component of a similar style, or (ii) replace the affected component and any other component within the total product to achieve a uniform appearance with as similar and comparable product style and quality as possible to the original product.

 

We cannot guarantee that replacements will match the finish and appearance of the original product. Our warranty extends solely to the product. We are not responsible for the cost of: (i) removal of defective product, (ii) installation of repaired or replaced product, or (iii) removal or installation of appliances, plumbing, flooring, or other fixtures. Repaired or replaced product shall be warranted for a period equal to the remaining period of the original Limited Warranty on the product or for ninety days,

whichever is longer.
