Our Promise To You

At White Stores, we design our products with care and passion. From our in-house product sketches to hand-choosing the best materials and regular communication with our factories, we ensure every step from conception to the finished product is something we are proud of and that our products are fit for purpose – we know you wouldn’t expect any less!


While we pride ourselves on extreme attention to detail and products that are built to last, we understand that occasionally problems arise – hey, no one’s perfect right? But instead of denying that problems exist, we have put just as much thought and care into our product guarantees as we have our products, to protect you and your consumer rights, should you ever encounter an issue.


It’s unlikely you’ll ever need them, but you will find all of our warranty information written in plain English below for your reference. 


Some friendly advice…


It’s best to keep hold of your receipt/order confirmation email – we might need this to locate your order, especially if you bought your piece from one of our franchise stores. 


The Legal Bit...

In all cases:


White Stores reserves the right to request photos or videos accurately depicting the problem in order to make a full “diagnosis” of the problem. 

White Stores reserves the right to offer a repair, where possible, before considering a replacement.

If we cannot replace the item with the same design or one that is similar, White Stores reserves the right to offer a partial refund instead of a replacement where product lines have been discontinued. The amount refunded will be calculated as a percentage based on the length of warranty that remains on the product.
 
White Stores reserves the right to ask questions about the use of the product and the damage incurred to establish whether this is a manufacturing error.

Our warranties are valid for the UK mainland only, from the date of delivery and are valid for the original purchaser only. Items sold to third parties will not be covered. International orders will only be offered a 1-year guarantee, from the date of purchase, no matter the warranty advertised on the specific product. Warranties do not cover commercial use.

Any damage caused by force majeure or extreme weather conditions will not be covered by warranty. 

 


Things we don’t cover…

Pieces that you have changed/adapted or repaired yourself.

Accidental damage, or any damage caused by neglecting your product or not following our care/safety instructions. In this instance, we will try to help repair/replace the item where we can, however, there may be a fee – we’ll be able to offer more advice when we know what the problem is.
 
Normal wear and tear – like dents and scratches.

Accidental damage to glass, causing it to shatter or crack. 

Cushion details such as zips and cushion filling.

Discolouration to suction pieces on products.

Rattan naturally sags during warmer weather, and due to its pliable nature, it should return to normal. However, the rattan can melt under certain conditions, such as from external, extreme heat sources or magnification during warmer weather. Melted rattan isn’t covered under any guarantee and we always recommend using coasters for your glassware when using our rattan dining tables.

Any additional elements that we have added to the furniture to improve the overall aesthetics of the piece but do not directly impact the look or structural integrity of the product. For example, any cracks/holes in the Perspex/polyboard underboard on the Heritage dining range or any flaking framework that does not reflect or affect the quality of the product.

If a rattan product is showing staples, it’s often from someone pulling the rattan down with their shoes as they sit down. This can be pulled back up to cover the staples and is not broken, therefore it isn’t covered under warranty. 

Ex-display pieces that were bought sold-as-seen.

Any free covers or free items that were complimentary with the product – unless it arrives faulty or damaged.
