Exclusions:
This warranty does not apply and no other warranty applies to:

Seating Usage:
Normal commercial usage for seating is defined as the equivalent of a single shift, forty (40) hour workweek.

A Word About Color Variations, Fabrics and Finishes:
Some natural variations occurring in wood, leather, or other natural materials are inherent to their character, and cannot be avoided. Therefore they are not considered defects. The HON Company does not warrant the color-fastness or matching of colors, grains, or textures of such materials. Customer's Own Materials (COM) selected by and used at the request of a user are not warranted.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE HON COMPANY MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE HON COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES.
Notice to Purchasers for Home or Personal Use:
Federal law does not permit the exclusion of certain implied warranties for consumer products. Therefore, if you are purchasing this product for home or personal use, the exclusion of implied warranties noted in the above paragraph does not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
