Wind Damage:
SimplyShade highly recommends that no umbrella, regardless of size or weight, ever be left unattended in the open position. In windy conditions, it is further recommended that umbrellas be closed, removed from their base, and stored or laid horizontally. This will reduce the risk of personal injury, damage to your umbrella, furniture, and other belongings or property. To ensure stability of your umbrella, please observe proper placement, and use sufficient base weight. This catalog contains minimum recommendations for necessary weight for each style. Keep umbrella properly secured to umbrella base at all times. Thoroughly read and follow all provided instruction manuals.
Irregularities in Production Process:
The possibility of “Irregularities” in the product surface may occur during the production process. However, these irregularities do not reduce the quality of the product. SimplyShade monitors every stage of production to ensure a clean and consistent appearance on every part.
Rust:
Rust is a natural part of the aging process of all Steel or Iron based materials and is therefore NOT considered a defect. SimplyShade bases are designed to require minimum maintenance. Bases should be kept clean. Do not let dirt build up on the bases. Cleaning with mild soap and water, and seasonal touch-up of any scratches, chips or occasional rust seepage from crevices or hidden, un-finishable surfaces inherent in some designs is all that is required. Never leave bases standing in water. To keep your bases looking their best, you may wish to store them when not in use for an extended period of time.
Seaside and Indoor Pool Usage:
CAUTION: Seaside and indoor pool use, salt & chlorides can accumulate on the powder coat finish, leading to finish failure. Failure or neglect to make needed cleanings may cause paint to blister, and such failure will void limited warranty.
International Returns:
If an item is found to be under warranty SimplyShade shall only be responsible for ground shipping charges to the location of the product within the continental United States and Canada. Any duties, express, international or special shipping charges are at the expense of the retail dealer or consumer.
THE SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY.
