Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions of Sale - Rocky Mountain Saunas
I. Warranty Coverage
Wood Components
Grade A lumber is used on all sauna models. Wood is a living material that continues to respond to climate conditions, even after being manufactured into a sauna. Prior to shipping, the wood is inspected for consistency, color and quality. Variations in the color or grain, and irregularities such as fine cracks are part of the natural beauty of the wood and in no way are considered defects.
Since the wood used in the infrared saunas has been kiln dried, a certain amount of expansion and contraction occurs in the wood within a sauna environment. During normal operation, wood may develop fine cracks due to the changes in humidity level of the wood. This is considered normal and will not affect the structural integrity of the sauna.
Rocky Mountain Saunas are shipped around the globe, and can experience slight blemishes, scratches, or scuffs in transit. All structures using wood are susceptible to minor dents, scratches, and scuffing which are not covered by warranty. This is normal and will not affect the integrity, operation, or Limited Lifetime Warranty of your sauna.
In most cases, minor wood blemishes on the exterior of the sauna may be treated by using a small amount of furniture polish, tung oil, or other furniture treatment products. Please avoid any treatment containing Benzene or a high concentration of alcohol. Any interior blemishes, scratches, scuffs, or chips can be either left alone, sanded, or combination of gluing plus sanding.
Any compensation for small aesthetic repairs or minor cosmetic damage will be determined solely by Rocky Mountain Saunas Inc.
