Frequently asked questions

What should I include in the exclusions section for leather products?

You should exclude normal wear and tear, scratches, abrasions, color fading from sunlight or improper storage, water damage, stains from improper care, misuse, accidents, and unauthorized repairs or alterations. You may also exclude damage caused by exposure to extreme heat or humidity.

Can I limit the warranty to the original purchaser?

Yes, you can state that the warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser. This is common in the industry and helps you control claims. However, some states have laws regarding transferability, so it's best to check your local regulations.

How do I handle warranty claims for products sold through retailers?

You can require the customer to contact your customer service directly with proof of purchase from an authorized retailer. You may also choose to honor warranties only if the product was purchased from an authorized dealer. This protects against gray market products.
