3. What is Covered under PetsCosset 1-Year Warranty?

This warranty covers verified defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use:

Structural & Manufacturing Defects

  • Structural Failures: Unprovoked breakage, collapse, or failure of the main frame/structure during normal intended use that renders the product unsafe or unusable.
  • Hardware Defects: Misaligned pre-drilled holes, poorly fitted components, or malfunctioning hardware (hinges, latches, slides, or lock mechanisms).
  • Material Defects: Non-external, non-environmental wood structural splits, severe coating peeling, or hardware rusting under normal indoor/outdoor storage conditions.

Daily Use Coverage

  • Functional Failures: Malfunctions of functional components during normal intended use, provided the failure is not caused by external force, impact, abuse, or unauthorized alterations.

Delivery Issues (For Orders Without Xcottons Protection)

Transit damage, missing components, or damaged-on-arrival (DOA) parts for orders without third-party shipping insurance will be handled directly under our standard PetsCosset replacement procedure.

4. What is NOT Covered? (Exclusions)

To ensure clarity, the following situations are strictly excluded from warranty coverage:

  • Normal Wear and Tear: Minor cosmetic wear, surface scratches, or fading over time that does not affect product function.
  • Natural Wood & Weathering Characteristics: Minor checking (small surface cracks), knots, natural color variations, or slight swelling/warping caused by environmental humidity or temperature fluctuations.
  • Pet Damage: Damage caused by pets or wildlife, including but not limited to chewing, scratching, biting, clawing, or excessive force applied by heavy/large pets.
  • Misuse & Overloading: Use of the product beyond its intended capacity, improper weight distribution, or exceeding recommended weight limits.
  • Improper Assembly & Modification: Failure or damage resulting from incorrect assembly, unauthorized structural alterations, or over-tightening hardware.
  • External Forces & Extreme Weather: Damage caused by external accidents, impacts, drop damage, or severe weather conditions (e.g., storms, high winds, floods).
  • Indirect Losses: Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from product failure.
