This warranty does not apply and no other warranty applies to:

Normal wear and tear, which are to be expected over the course of ownership.

Damage caused by the carrier in-transit, which will be handled under separate terms.

A WORD ABOUT COLOR VARIATIONS, FABRICS AND FINISHES:
Some natural variations occurring in wood, leather or other natural materials are inherent to their character, and cannot be avoided. Therefore they are not considered defects. The HON Company does not warrant the color-fastness or matching of colors, grains or textures of such materials. Customer’s Own Materials (COM) selected by and used at the request of a user are not warranted.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE HON COMPANY MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE HON COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.

NOTICE TO PURCHASERS FOR HOME OR PERSONAL USE:
Federal law does not permit the exclusion of certain implied warranties for consumer products. Therefore, if you are purchasing this product for home or personal use, the exclusion of implied warranties noted in the above paragraph does not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from state to state.


This warranty applies only to products sold within the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Canada.
