Tuuci

Warranty Terms & Conditions

Forces of Nature

Although all Tuuci marine grade shade equipment is rigorously tested to withstand incredible forces of nature, Tuuci does not recommend or warranty the deployment or use of any collapsible shade equipment in wind conditions which exceed 25 MPH (45 MPH for the MAX F-1 and Ocean Master MEGA MAX; Tuuci Solanox depending on configuration may exceed 100 mph).

Tuuci will only warranty products which are properly secured to an adequate base or anchoring system. Furthermore, Tuuci will not cover any damage to a shade or base device which occurs as a result of contact with the ground or any other foreign object including damage which occurs as a result of sudden and severe weather events or other extreme acts of nature. In general, Tuuci recommends that all collapsible shade products be securely closed when not in use.

Tuuci can recommend specific base weight and anchoring systems for specific parasol styles, shapes and sizes, however, Tuuci will only warrant the safe, sensible and reasonable operation of our shade structures within the recommended deployment guidelines. Please contact Tuuci directly if requesting shade structures and anchoring systems which can be warranted in sustained wind conditions which exceed 25 MPH.

Finishes

If Tuuci applied powder coating or Aluma-Teak finish to frames, structures or shade anchors flakes, bubbles, peels, or loses color within five (5) years from the date of purchase, Tuuci will replace or repair any paint finish damage at its own discretion. This warranty does not cover any type of scratches or abrasions to finish caused from metal to metal contact (ex. From table tops or storage) or any resulting corrosion that results from scratches or abrasions.

Seaside and indoor pool use, salt and chlorides can accumulate on the powder coat and Aluma-Teak finishes, leading to finish failure outside warranty coverage. Failure to perform regular cleanings with fresh water may cause the finish to blister, oxidize and/or discolor, voiding this limited warranty.

Shade Anchors

Warranty only covers manufacturing defects of structural integrity. It does not cover breakage, chipping, crumbling concrete or finish abrasions due to contact with other objects, improper use or issues caused by “onsite” transit or other wear and tear.

Electrical Components

Optional LED lighting, heaters and automation electrical components are warranted for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship to the original purchaser of the product. This warranty does not apply to damage resulting from accident, misuse, tampering, negligence or abuse. Tuuci will, at its option, repair or replace these products found defective.

Process for Warranty Claims to Structure

If warrantable damage occurs to the hubs, mast or stainless-steel hardware, Tuuci will replace or repair any item listed in this category at its discretion. Superficial damage, including any type of scratches or abrasions caused from contact with the moving components of the frame itself or canopy during normal operation are not eligible for warranty coverage unless the damage compromises the structural integrity of the frame. For the warranty to apply, products must be properly cared for and maintained. Any product modification by customer or third party voids this warranty.

General Limitations

The limited warranties outlined above cover only manufacturer defects, not damage caused by the product striking the ground or other object. Normal wear and tear is not covered under this limited warranty. The redeemable value of all warranties provided herewith shall be prorated over the life of the specific limited warranty itself. In all cases, the warranty claimant shall be responsible for all shipping and/or freight charges incurred by claimant or Tuuci as a result of a warranty claim. Labor for installation of parts covered under Tuuci Warranty is not included.

All warranty claims must be submitted with an original proof of purchase dated from the dealer of origin, a description of damaged product, including how the damage occurred, along with photos of the damaged product. The foregoing warranties may not be assigned and are available only to the original purchaser of Tuuci products. Tuuci reserves at its sole discretion the right to repair, replace, or redesign any product that is returned as a result of a warranty claim.
