The warranty does not cover the following in particular:
•     Expenses incurred in removing, disassembling or re-installing products,
•     Damage due to:

•     Modifications made to products

•     Defects or imperfections that are not visible at a distance of 1.5 m during a 10-second inspection with normal vision under significant lighting (in accordance with ADAL)
•     Maintenance costs.
•     Non-compliance of products with the commercial documentation, which are non-contractual documents
•     Any consequential or non-consequential material or immaterial damage resulting from the product defect
•     Hold in place of the ornamental patterns
•     Aging of the lacquering (softening, fouling, permeability, chalking, discoloration…), these are natural aging features of the lacquering and will not be considered as defects
•     Delamination of the resins surrounding the dies that are due to the combined effects of UV light, rainfalls and pollution. Dies are indeed in direct contact with the atmosphere. On the long term, and after wiping, you will find dies on the wiping cloth used to wipe your gate. This depigmenting is natural. In order to delay this decaying of the dies, we advise that you regularly clean your gate using clean water with the addition of a soft detergent and since the installation of the gate (see our cleaning advises in our documentation, visit www.la-toulousaine.com)
