3. Wind and Weather Use

1. The side wind parasol must always be used with due regard to the prevailing and forecast weather conditions. While the side wind parasols have been tested in a wind tunnel under controlled constant winds of up to 100 km/h, while bolted to the ground, the following point is to guard against sudden gusts of wind in variable directions:
   1. Where the parasol is used with a weighted base system or bolted to the ground, the maximum recommended wind tolerance is 25 mph / 40 km/h before collapsing the canopy.
2. The parasol must be closed, lowered, secured, and covered when not in use, during adverse weather, or where strong winds, storms, snow, or other severe conditions are forecast.
3. A suitable waterproof protective cover is recommended whenever the canopy is collapsed, and the parasol is not in active use. For correct storage guidance, please refer to supplied instructions or as advised by the Bambrella installation team.

4. Exclusions from Warranty

1. Damage caused by wind, fire, flood, storm, frost, snow, theft, vandalism, misuse, neglect, accident, improper handling, or failure to follow care and maintenance instructions is not covered.
2. Damage resulting from incorrect installation, unsuitable bases or fixings, inadequate anchoring, unauthorised repairs, unauthorised modifications, or use of non-approved components is not covered.
3. Normal wear and tear, cosmetic deterioration, fading, minor surface marks, scratches, scuffs, dents, and marks caused by moving parts are not covered unless the damage materially affects the structural integrity of the parasol frame.
4. Chafing, tearing, ripping, puncturing, staining, mould, mildew, or damage to canopy fabric or protective covers caused by incorrect opening, closing, storage, cleaning, use without a protective cover, or contact with other surfaces is not covered.
5. Replacement heater bulbs are treated as consumable items and are not covered under warranty.
6. Electrical components are covered for the first 12 months only. Any replacement components required after this period must be purchased separately.
7. Labour, call-out charges, installation costs, inspection costs, access equipment, freight, shipping, carriage, customs charges, or other associated costs are not included unless expressly agreed in writing by Bambrella®.

5. Canopy Materials

The canopy material warranty applies to defects in the canopy material itself, subject to the exclusions and conditions set out in this document. Where a separate fabric manufacturer’s guarantee applies, that guarantee is provided by the relevant fabric manufacturer and may be subject to its own terms, exclusions, and claim requirements.

6. Warranty Claim Procedure

1. Any warranty claim must be submitted to Bambrella® in writing as soon as the issue is identified.
2. The claim must include the original proof of purchase, product details, date of purchase, installation details, description of the fault, and clear photographs or supporting evidence showing the issue.
3. Bambrella® reserves the right to inspect the product, request further information, or require the faulty part to be returned before accepting or rejecting a warranty claim.
4. If a claim is accepted, Bambrella® may, at its discretion, supply replacement parts, repair the product, arrange repair by Bambrella® technicians, or offer an appropriate alternative remedy.
5. If Bambrella® technicians are required to attend site, any labour, call-out, travel, access, or installation charges will be quoted on a case-by-case basis unless expressly confirmed otherwise in writing.
6. If a claim is found not to be covered by this warranty, the purchaser will be responsible for any costs incurred, including inspection, labour, parts, shipping, or return costs.

7. Transferability and Validity

1. This warranty is provided for the benefit of the original purchaser only and is not transferable to any subsequent owner, user, hirer, or occupier unless Bambrella® confirms otherwise in writing.
2. Any modification, alteration, repair, or replacement carried out without prior written authorisation from Bambrella® may invalidate the warranty.
3. Failure to comply with any condition of this warranty may invalidate the warranty or any claim made under it.
4. This warranty applies only to genuine Bambrella® products supplied through Bambrella® or an authorised Bambrella® representative.
