Warranty

Relax with the confidence of the best warranty in the business.

ShadeFX is made using food machinery components that are designed for much higher stresses and duties than the canopy system demands of them. That is how we can offer a 12 year limited warranty on the mechanical components. All our fabrics are of the finest outdoor materials money can buy with 5 to 10 year no-fade warranties. The slim-line Somfy brand motor has a 5 year unconditional warranty.

ShadeFX™ products are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for twelve years from the date of installation of the canopy system. During the first 5 years, parts, labour, and shipping (if applicable) are covered. During this period it is the responsibility of the purchaser to notify ShadeFX Canopies Inc. or its representative/dealer, of any claimed defect. Upon investigation, and subsequent confirmation of a legitimate defect, ShadeFX Canopies Inc. will at its option and expense either repair the canopy or provide a replacement. After the first five years of warranty expires, the warranty is limited to replacement of parts associated with the mechanical components of the system and is prorated for the remaining seven years of warranty and does not include shipping and labour costs associated with warranty support. The canopy and the motor (if applicable) are covered by their respective manufacturer’s warranties.

The foregoing does not cover and ShadeFX Canopies Inc. (SFX) makes no warranty with respect to:

1. Failures not reported to SFX within (30) days of delivery/installation.
2. Failures or damage due to negligence, other than that of SFX, accident, abuse, improper installation, improper operation or abnormal conditions including abrasion with adjacent objects, or discoloration, staining, or physical damage from extended exposure to heavy wind that would cause violent flapping of fabric, or physical damage from natural flora or fauna.
3. Shade canopies that have been in any way tampered with, repaired or altered by anyone other than an authorized representative of SFX.
4. Shade canopies damaged in shipment or otherwise without the fault of ShadeFX Canopies Inc.
5. Expenses incurred by the Purchaser in an attempt to correct or repair any alleged defect.
6. Any losses, costs, expenses, liabilities and damages (including but without limitation to loss of use or profits, damage to persons or property, all liabilities of the purchaser to its customers or
third persons, and all other special or consequential damages), whether direct or indirect, and whether or not resulting from or contributed to by the default or negligence of ShadeFX Canopies Inc., its agents, employees or subcontractors, which might be claimed as the result of the use or failure of the product shipped.

Purchaser shall not return canopies or parts thereof alleged to be defective without the approval of SFX. All parts claimed defective shall be substantially manifested by the purchaser to the satisfaction of SFX prior to any product being returned to the factory. The SFX factory will not accept collect shipments without prior written approval and authorizing claim code. SFX makes no further warranty, either express or implied or by trade usage in connection with the design, sale or use of its products. The liability of ShadeFX Canopies Inc. on its warranty shall in no event exceed the cost of correcting the defects in the product sold or replacing the same with non-defective product.

This warranty stated herein is in lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied, or merchant ability, or fitness for particular use and under no circumstances will Seller be liable for incidental or consequential damages.
