Warranty: What You Need to Know
The Guardsman
Fabric Care Collection is a comprehensive warranty package that includes fabric
protection and a 5-year product warranty. This package is available to
customers who purchase new upholstered furniture from a furniture retailer. By
following the care and maintenance instructions outlined in the warranty book,
you can enjoy the following benefits subject to the terms and conditions listed
below:
Guardsman Product Warranty:
Protection Against Accidental Damage The Guardsman Product Warranty
protects your new furniture against all accidental stains, accidental
damage including rips, cuts, tears, and burns, human and pet bodily
fluids, ballpoint pen, and lipstick. This warranty is subject to the
following conditions:
Guardsman Fabric Protector is
applied to the furniture immediately after you receive it, following the
instructions set out in the product packaging.
You are the original purchaser.
The furniture is located in
Australia or New Zealand.
The furniture is used exclusively
indoors for private and domestic purposes and is not abused or misused
(this does not apply to commercial purposes such as hotels, rental
properties, boarding houses, etc.).
The furniture is received from
your furniture retailer without any stains or damage.
The terms and conditions listed
in the warranty book are met.
Stain Removal If within 5 years
after applying the Product to your new furniture, the covering upholstery
of the treated upholstered furniture is stained and cannot be removed
using the cleaning methods outlined in the warranty book, Guardsman will
arrange for a professional technician to clean the affected area at no
cost to you. However, please note:
You must be able to identify the
stain so that the technician can use the correct cleaning method for the
best results. If you cannot identify the cause of the stain, Guardsman
cannot guarantee removal of the stain.
You must notify Guardsman of the
stain's details within 5 days of the stain occurring. If Guardsman is not
notified within 5 days, their obligation under the Guardsman Product
Warranty is limited to 1 attempt by a professional cleaning technician to
clean that particular stain.
Accidental Damage Should the
covering upholstery on your new furniture be accidentally damaged by a
rip, tear, cut, or burn, Guardsman will arrange for a repair technician to
fix the accidental damage. However:
You must notify Guardsman of the
damage's details within 5 days of the damage occurring.
Replacement If the technician is
unable to clean or repair (as set out in condition 2 and 3 above) the
affected area, Guardsman will arrange for the affected area to be replaced
in the original covering upholstery at no cost to you. However:
If the original covering
upholstery is no longer available, you may choose to recover the affected
area with a covering upholstery of your choice to the same value as the
original covering upholstery. If this is not acceptable, you can elect for
a full refund from Guardsman, and the Guardsman Product Warranty will
cease.
If the original covering
upholstery is available, Guardsman cannot guarantee the exact color match
due to dye lot variations and upholstery fading. In these circumstances,
Guardsman's obligation is to provide the closest possible color match
available at the time. If this is not acceptable to you, you can elect for
a full refund from Guardsman, and the Guardsman Product Warranty will
cease.
Financial Liability In all cases,
Guardsman's financial liability under this warranty will be limited to a
maximum amount equal to the actual purchase price of the furniture or
Guardsman's purchase price, whichever is lesser. If a total replacement of
the furniture is undertaken by Guardsman (at their sole discretion), for
whatever reason, the replaced furniture becomes the property of Guardsman,
and the new furniture will not be covered under this warranty. In those circumstances this
warranty will come to an end.
Warranty Exclusions: What Is Not Covered
Guardsman, the provider of the 5-Year Product Warranty, does not
take responsibility for any damage to the upholstery, which includes:
Please note that this warranty is not a cleaning contract, and

Fabric
Spot Removal Procedures To remove most stains and spills from your upholstered
furniture, we recommend the following basic steps for spot cleaning. Please
note that these spot cleaning procedures are for spot cleaning only, not for
overall cleaning. Before calling Guardsman's Customer Service, try to remove
stains yourself while they are still fresh.
Fabric
Cleaner Level 1
Apply Fabric Cleaner Level 1
directly onto a clean cloth and gently blot over the stain repeatedly
until it disappears. Do not rub.
To prevent ring formation, dry
the area with a hairdryer on a cool setting (or a small fan if a hairdryer
is not available) being careful not to overheat the fabric.
If the stain remains, use Level 2
Cleaner.
Fabric
Deep Cleaner Level 2
Apply Fabric Deep Cleaner Level 2
directly onto the stain. Do not rub.
Blot with a clean cloth to lift
and remove the stain, repeating as needed with a clean section of the
cloth until the stain is removed.
Once the stain is removed, blot
the area with Level 1 applied to a cleaning cloth.
To help prevent ring formation,
dry the area using a hair dryer on cool setting (or a small fan if a hair
dryer is not available) being careful not to overheat the fabric.
TIP:
When working on a cushion with a zipper, unzip and place a clean white towel
under the spot before working on the area.
APPLY:
Cleaning products should be applied to the clean application cloth enclosed in
the Care Collection pack.
