The warranty does not extend to force majeure events. The warranty does not include damage or breakage of mirrors or glass products. The warranty period commences from the date of purchase. If Goods are replaced in this period, the warranty period for the replacement Goods expires on the same date as the warranty period for the original goods provided. Claims for loss of or damage to Goods in transit must be made against the carrier.
