General Warranty Conditions


What is covered under the Limited Warranty?
The extent of the limited warranty given for each product is
described alongside each product below.

Duration of Limited Warranty:
Each limited warranty lasts for the number of years stated
against each product below, starting from the date of purchase.

What will be done to correct the problem?
IKEA will examine the product and decide if it’s covered under
this limited warranty. IKEA will then, at its choice, either
repair the defective product or replace it with the same or a
comparable product. In these cases, IKEA will be responsible
for the costs of repairs, spare parts, labor and travel for repair
staff that IKEA incurs, provided that the product is accessible
for repair without IKEA incurring additional expenditure to gain
access. This will not apply in cases where repair work has not
been authorized by IKEA. Any defected parts removed in the
course of repair works will become the property of IKEA. If the
item is no longer sold by IKEA, IKEA will provide an appropriate
replacement. IKEA will decide at its discretion, what will
constitute an appropriate replacement.

Conditions for the Everyday Quality - Limited Warranties:
The limited warranties are valid from the date of purchase.
The original purchase receipt is required as proof of purchase.

Exclusions:
The limited warranties do not apply to products that have been
stored or assembled incorrectly, used inappropriately, abused,
misused, altered, or cleaned with wrong cleaning methods or
wrong cleaning products. The warranties do not cover normal
wear and tear, cuts or scratches, or damage caused by impacts
or accidents. The warranties do not apply if products have been
placed outdoors or in a humid environment or if the products
have been used for non-domestic purposes (unless otherwise
stated). The warranty does not cover consequential or incidental
damages. For customers in the US only: some states do not
allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential
damage, so this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
The warranties are to the benefit of the original purchaser of the
product. They are not transferable. For details see the limited
warranty conditions and description for each product.

Care instructions:
To be able to claim this limited warranty you need to follow the
specific care instructions for every product. You will find all care
instructions with or on the product in the IKEA stores.

General legal rights:
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. This limited
warranty does not, in any way, affect the rights given to you by
law.

How to reach us if you need service:
Contact your local IKEA store. You will find the address and
phone number in the IKEA catalog or at IKEA-USA.com. Save
your sales receipt as proof of purchase. Proof of purchase is
required for the limited warranty to be valid.
