WARRANTY, TERMS & CONDITIONS

WARRANTY

NOVO will repair or replace, at our discretion, any electrical part found to be defective within two years from the original date of delivery. Such replacement parts do not extend the warranty period. This warranty does not cover any labor required to replace defective parts since our products are designed to be customer serviceable. In no event will a defective part(s) be justifiable cause for an entire showcase replacement.

Should you experience problems with your NOVO showcase, please call our customer service so that we may help you troubleshoot the problem. Our showcases are factory tested and inspected prior to shipping, but in the rare event there is a problem, we shall help you to resolve the issue. Based on your discussions with NOVO, should a part be found defective, NOVO will provide you with a return authorization number to return the part to us. Replacement will be sent the same method as the return was sent. Defective parts must be returned to NOVO in order for us to issue a new part.

NOVO's limited warranty does not cover broken glass or mirrors, damaged locks or lost keys, burnt out light fixtures, broken casters, damaged cords, damaged switches, general mishandling, or any part where identification numbers have been altered. NOVO's warranty is void if any other products are used other than NOVO parts. Please be aware that lamp wattage should never exceed the original wattage that comes with the showcase, doing so will cause damage. Showcase instructions need to be read prior to usage. Any damages due to incorrect assembly or usage are not covered by NOVO's warranty. In tower cases, wall showcases, and shadow boxes, electrical components are placed in the top canopy of the showcase, and a perforated grid is placed on top for proper ventilation. Do not block or inhibit the ventilation process. If the ventilation process is impeded by the customer, NOVO will decline responsibility for any resulting damages to the showcase or other items.

All other warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose are hereby disclaimed. Warranty covers original owners only; warranty is void if sold to another user.
