Warranty Policy

This Warranty Policy explains the functional warranty coverage for eligible office furniture purchased from Howfine International Pte Ltd in Singapore.

Last updated: July 202612-month functional warranty for eligible items

1. Warranty Overview

Howfine provides a 12-month functional warranty for eligible pre-loved, refurbished or selected office furniture items, starting from the delivery date, unless a different warranty period is stated in the invoice, quotation, product page or written agreement.

Brand-new items may be covered by the relevant manufacturer’s warranty, where applicable. Howfine will assist customers with manufacturer warranty claims where reasonably possible, but the final warranty decision remains subject to the manufacturer’s terms and assessment.

2. Eligible Items

Warranty coverage applies only to items clearly sold with warranty coverage by Howfine. Clearance, as-is, heavily discounted, project disposal, custom-modified or final-sale items may be excluded unless otherwise stated in writing.

Warranty is valid only for the original purchaser and is not transferable unless agreed by Howfine in writing.

3. What Is Covered

  • Functional defects in chair gas-lift cylinders, chair bases, castors, tilt mechanisms and height adjustment mechanisms.
  • Functional defects in desk frames, height-adjustable desk mechanisms and selected workstation components.
  • Functional defects in drawer runners, cabinet locks, hinges and other basic operational parts.
  • Repair or replacement of defective parts, subject to availability and Howfine’s assessment.

4. What Is Not Covered

  • Normal wear and tear, cosmetic marks, scratches, dents, colour variation, fabric wear, leather wear or minor imperfections expected in used or refurbished furniture.
  • Misuse, negligence, accident, overloading, improper assembly, improper use, unauthorised repair, modification or relocation by the customer.
  • Damage caused by water, fire, pests, mould, excessive heat, outdoor exposure, improper storage or harsh cleaning chemicals.
  • Consumable parts, upholstery, fabric, leather, foam, mesh and cosmetic finishes unless specifically stated.
  • Business losses, loss of use, loss of profits or any indirect or consequential loss.

5. Delivery Damage & Warranty Claims

For delivery damage, missing parts or dead-on-arrival issues, customers should notify Howfine within 7 days of delivery with clear photos, order details and a description of the issue.

For warranty issues after the first 7 days, Howfine may request photos, videos, inspection or return of the affected item before approving repair, replacement, parts replacement or other reasonable remedy.

Remedies are determined by Howfine after assessment and may depend on stock availability, item age, usage condition and defect type.

6. Limits & Related Policies

Nothing in this policy limits any rights that cannot be excluded under applicable Singapore law.

Howfine reserves the right to update this policy from time to time. The version published on our website at the time of purchase or service request will apply unless otherwise required by law.

In the event of any inconsistency between this policy and written terms stated on an official quotation, invoice, purchase order or service agreement issued by Howfine, the written terms in that document shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
