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.

The fabric used for the roof of the waterproof cover is resistant to water penetration; however, it is sewn to the acrylic canvas sides. It is required to place the plastic sheet included directly over the sauna roof prior to installing the weather resistant cover and placing an object on the sauna roof to give the fabric elevation for water run off as further protection.

            SAUNA SAFETY CERTIFICATIONS

            Rocky Mountain Saunas is committed to making safety our #1 priority. Internationally recognized safety certifications assure you that all our saunas have attained a high level of quality construction, safety and performance standards.
            Below is a list of our current Safety Certifications from International Testing Laboratories authorized to approve infrared sauna safety standards in North America, Canada and the European Union.

            ISO develops International Standards.

            iso.gifRocky Mountain Saunas’ manufacturing facility has implemented a quality management system in order to maintain the highest standards in product development and quality assurance and is proud to have earned the prestigious ISO 9001 Certification. 
             
            ISO International Standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world’s largest developer of voluntary International Standards. International Standards give state of the art specifications for products, services and good practice, helping to make industry more efficient and effective. Developed through global consensus, they help to break down barriers to international trade.
             
            Founded in 1947, and since then have published more than 19,500 International Standards covering almost all aspects of technology, manufacturing and business. From food safety to computers, and agriculture to healthcare, ISO International Standards impact all our lives.
             
            The ISO story began in 1946 when delegates from 25 countries met at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London and decided to create a new international organization ‘to facilitate the international coordination and unification of industrial standards’. In February 1947 the new organization, ISO, officially began operations.
             
            Today ISO includes members from 163 countries and 3,368 technical bodies to take care of standard development. More than 150 people work full time for ISO’s Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.
             
            More about the history of ISO.
             
            Because ‘International Organization for Standardization’ would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), the founders decided to give it the short form ISO. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, the short form of the name is always ISO.
