Limited Warranty
New tents are warranted against defects. This tent warranty is for 12 months from the date of this Agreement. Defects are limited to any defect that is a result of the manufacturing process. Excluded as well, are holes including “pin” holes, punctures or other damages which can be caused during the normal installation of a tent, whenever proper procedures are not followed. WARNING: Vinyl tent fabric has a type of plastic surface that can be scraped off by rough surfaces such as a concrete pad, rocks, asphalt, and other hard surfaces. Avoid pinching or dragging across rough surfaces. This could cause the outer membrane to come off allowing light to come through. It does not mean there is a hole. Additionally, and specifically, rope burns caused by pulling the center pole rope out from under the tent while the tent is still rolled up in a roll will not be covered under this warranty. For further details on the issue of proper installation procedures, please review the instructional document that is sent with your tent. This tent warranty does not cover any damage done to tents as a result of normal wear and tear, storm damage, holes, punctures or other damages that can be caused during the normal installation of a tent, whenever proper procedures are not followed. For further details on the issue of proper installation procedures, please review the instructional document that is sent with your tent. Warranty is for materials only, and your sole and exclusive remedy and Marquee sole obligation is that we will fix or replace the defective part after our inspection of the product. Warranty does not include external labor that you may incur.
NOTE: CLEAR type material does not have a warranty because the material does not have the necessary composition to resist becoming brittle. As a result it can crack more easily in colder conditions resulting in reduce performance and great hazard to occupants within the structure. It can also stretch out if bagging occurs due to rain or snow.
Fabric Sidewalls are warranted against defects for 14 days after receipt. Please inspect thoroughly. They are NOT warranted against wind whip, Crack due to flapping in the wind, sustained or wind gusts, or cracking due to cold temperatures. In strong winds, sidewalls should be taken down.
This warranty does not cover any Tent defect that is attributable, in whole or in part, to (i) any factor, condition or circumstances (including but not limited to improper maintenance, improper usage by you or your failure to follow the included instructions) other than defective workmanship or materials, or (ii) designs or specifications furnished by you to Marquee including any Custom Orders.

Please inspect your shipment thoroughly upon receipt. It is the customer’s responsibility to inspect product deliveries and note any damages or shortages ON THE DELIVERY RECEIPT. Also pictures of the damage will help in the claim. It is also a good Idea to take a picture of each pallet & bundle to substantiate the amount of pieces delivered versus amount of pallets & bundles on the delivery receipt.

Once the product is received, You have SEVEN (7) DAYS to unpack and count the individual items inside the pallet(s) & the amount of poles from the bundles to notify us of any shortages.
Marquee cannot be held liable for missing equipment past the 7 day period.
Leakage
Marquee tents are made to be water tight. However, a tent by nature does allow some leakage. The sidewalls are removable by design. This tends to allow water to enter where the walls are connected to tent during windy conditions. Also, sectional, or expandable type tents are designed with a line which connects the sections together and this is a potential for leakage based on installation and/or weather conditions.
Payment
A 30% non-refundable deposit is due at the time that the order is placed (unless with preapproved credit). A higher deposit maybe required for specialty items. Orders less than $500 are due at confirmation of the order. Once we receive the deposit, then the order will be changed from a quote status into a sale. At this time we can schedule your tent for production or shipping and provide a timeframe.
