Product Warranty and Terms of Purchase
UpDown Desks
PRO+ desk frames
-PRO+ Desk Frames come with a 10 year warranty which covers the desk frame and all electrical components.
-The warranty covers any material faults in the desk frame that prevent the normal use of the desk.
-The warranty does not cover:
> Decline in performance that can occur with use that is not "normal use" (see below for definition).
> Normal wear and tear from use over time.
> Damage caused by incorrect or inaccurate assembly / disassembly, inappropriate cleaning supplies used, misuse or abuse, using the desk frame with products not appropriate for the desk frame, modifications of the desk frame (unless prior written approval is received from UpDown Desk) or force majeure, such as floods, fire or hurricanes.
-The warranty is only valid for the original purchaser of the product and is non-transferable.
-The warranty is only valid for purchases made from this website.
-If you break the desk or any components from misuse, the warranty is void on those components. If they needs replacing, you will be required to purchase the replacement part. Please contact us if you need replacement parts, as we keep most spare parts on hand.
-Definition of "normal use":
> Equalling the industry standard in electric sit/stand desks, the frame is designed with a duty cycle of 10%. In practical terms, this equates to 6 minutes per hour or 2 minutes per 20 minutes (i.e. 2 minutes on, 18 minutes off). Considering the average time to shift the desk from a sit to stand position (or vice versa) is less than 15 seconds, this is more than enough for most applications. The 10% duty cycle should not be exceeded as it may result in overheating the motor and control box, and in turn reducing the life of your desk.
> Keeping the weight on your desk as evenly distributed as possible, to avoid uneven load on the motors.
> Using the desk for a single-shift length i.e. 8 hours per day / 5 days per week. Overuse will reduce the warranty length accordingly e.g. double-shift use will halve the warranty length.
