        1-Year Warranty

        At Maoters, we take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of our furniture. This Warranty Policy outlines the coverage for defects in materials and workmanship in our products and the rights you have during the warranty period.

        Warranty Coverage

        We provide all products with a 12-month  Limited (based on the logistics receipt date).

        This warranty covers issues caused by defects in materials or workmanship under normal household use, such as:

        • Cracking wood (not caused by a dry environment)

        • Broken or severely corroded metal parts

        • Structural looseness (not due to improper assembly)

        • Peeling or bubbling finish over large areas

        • Functional failure of mechanical components (e.g., drawer slides, hinges)

        Warranty Process

        If you believe your product has a defect covered by this warranty, follow these steps:

        1. Contact Us:
          Please email us at support@maoters.co.uk with your order number and a detailed description of the issue.

        2. Provide Evidence:
          Please provide clear photos and/or videos showing the defective part of the product. This helps us assess the problem and find the right solution.

        3. Evaluation and Solution:
          Our customer service team will evaluate your case and propose a solution within 3-5 business days after receiving the necessary evidence. We may request additional information if required.

        4. Solution:
          Depending on the defect’s nature, we will offer one of the following solutions:

          • Replacement Parts: We’ll send you the replacement parts (e.g., new tabletop, drawer slides) free of charge.

          • Full Replacement: If the defect is severe and cannot be fixed with parts, we will replace the entire product.

          • Partial Refund/Compensation: If none of the above solutions are feasible, we may offer a partial refund or compensation for repairs.

        Warranty Limitations and Exclusions

        This warranty does not cover:

        1. Normal Wear:
          Scuffs, scratches, or fading caused by regular use.

        2. Misuse, Abuse, or Neglect:
          Damage caused by improper assembly, overloading, failure to follow care instructions, or exposure to extreme conditions (e.g., moisture, direct sunlight).

        3. Accidents or Force Majeure:
          Damage due to traffic accidents, fires, floods, etc.

        4. Self-Modification or Repair:
          Damage from attempts at repair or modification not carried out by us or our authorized service providers.

        5. Consumables:
          Items such as light bulbs, batteries, etc.

        6. Shipping Damage:
          Any damage incurred during transportation should be reported in accordance with our Returns and Exchanges Policy. It is not covered by this warranty.

        International Warranty Service

        Since we ship from overseas warehouses, warranty service will proceed as follows:

        1. Replacement Parts:
          We will send the required replacement parts to you, free of charge, from our overseas warehouse. You may need to perform the replacement yourself (we will provide instructions) or hire a local technician (at your own expense).

        2. Whole Unit Replacement:
          For full unit replacements, we will cover the one-way shipping costs for the new product from overseas to your UK address.

        3. Returning Defective Items:
          In most cases, large furniture items do not need to be returned. We may ask you to dispose of the defective item or provide proof of destruction (e.g., video showing the item being cut or disposed of) to avoid high international return shipping costs. For small items, we may request their return for inspection.

        Your Statutory Rights

        This warranty is additional to and does not affect your statutory rights under UK law.

        Under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods you purchase must be as described, of satisfactory quality, and fit for purpose. Statutory rights typically last for six years (in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland). However, this does not mean that goods must last six years without failure, but they must last a reasonable amount of time based on their nature.

        The goods you purchase must be as described, of satisfactory quality, and fit for their purpose.

        If the goods do not meet these standards, you are entitled to repair, replacement, or a partial or full refund. This right is not subject to the time limits set out in this Policy.

        Arranging returns: You will need to arrange and return the product to our designated warehouse address and be responsible for the applicable international return shipping costs. We strongly recommend that you purchase shipping insurance as you are responsible for the safety of the item during return transportation.

        Inspection and Refund: Once we receive and inspect the returned merchandise and confirm that it meets the conditions, we will process your refund within 14 business days. The refund will be refunded to your original payment account.

        Important Tips

        Transport damage: Please be sure to check the outer packaging before signing for it! If the outer packaging is severely damaged or wet, please indicate “outer packaging damaged” on the courier’s receipt and take photos on the spot for evidence. This will greatly help us deal with the problem later.

        Return address: The specific warehouse address and contact information will be provided by customer service after you apply for return authorization.
