These consumer guarantees are implied into all consumer contracts and cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. These are in addition to any voluntary warranties offered by a manufacturer.
Please note that goods must be returned within a reasonable period and you may be asked to demonstrate that the problem with the goods was not your fault. Please note that all care and consideration is taken when photographing products for our website and catalogue. Due to both manufacture circumstances (many of our items are hand made one at a time), lighting and photographic circumstances, the colours represented of products on our website and in catalogues may vary from actual product. Consumer Guarantees do not apply where PALM BEE’S reasonable opinion the goods became unacceptable due to fair wear and tear, or the customer’s misuse, failure to use the goods in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, or failure to take reasonable care, or the product demonstrates intrinsic characters (as seen with our display items in-store) which is what makes our products unique.

The benefits provided in this Warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies of a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, and any other laws in relation to the products to which this Warranty relates. The Warranty period commences from the date that the contract of sale is completed.
The period of the Warranty will be:
(a) 3 years for frames only for sofas, daybeds, chaise, and armchairs;
(b) 1 year for upholstered furniture including coverings and foam; and
(c) 1 year for all other products.
This Warranty covers the replacement or repair of any product that has a manufacturing or material defect that is not the result of normal wear and tear, or a natural characteristic of the material used. This is especially so for solid wood pieces. Every piece of wood has different grains and colours. Some pieces may have colour variances or blemishes or minor imperfections as well as movement between joints or as a whole piece. While every care is taken in the production process, these characteristics are common when working with solid timber. This Warranty is not transferable and does not cover products used for commercial purposes.
Exclusions: Subject to the Australian Consumer Law, this Warranty does not apply to any products sold as seconds, floorstock, repaired products, or products that have a defect where this has been drawn to the customer’s attention before the purchase of the product. In addition, this Warranty will not apply if:
(a) Repairs to a product are made or attempted by a service provider other than one approved by PALM BEE.
(b) The product has not been used or maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions as provided with the product or discussed at time of purchase.
(c) The customer uses the product in an abnormal manner for example if the product is abused, misused, dropped, crushed, impacted with any hard surface, exposed to extreme heat (including fire) or cold, not maintained properly or used after partial failure.
(d) The product has been modified, incorrectly adjusted or operated, subjected to incorrect electrical supply or inconsistent electrical supply or used with inappropriate accessories.
(e) The product is tampered with in any way.
