OW Sphinx (Oriental Weavers) Warranty Limited Residential Wear Warranty
Oriental Weavers Sphinx Division warrants to the dealer that it's rugs will not wear more than 10% of its pile fiber for a one (1) year period of time from the date of delivery to the consumer.
Wear is described as abrasive wear only (loss of pile fiber). This warranty does not cover burns, tears, cuts or other damage due to improper use, or to the application of improper cleaning agents or maintenance methods. It does not cover appearance retention from matting and /or crushing due to heavy wear. Wear by definition does not include matting and crushing of face pile.
Stain Resistance Warranty
Synthetics:
The company is confident that all our synthetic rugs are highly resistant to staining and will perform extremely well in normal to heavy use and last for years to come with proper care. Polypropylene is solution dyed and therefore inherently stain resistant and features very low moisture absorbency. Most spills and common stains can be quickly and easily removed by ordinary cleaning methods with no damage to the pile yarns. Oriental Weavers recommends professional cleaning if at all possible.
Wool:
Wool is a natural and more porous fiber and therefore more easily stained. Please refer to the label for cleaning instructions. New wool rugs have a tendency towards shedding or "pilling". This is not at a manufacturing defect but a normal occurrence after the shearing process of wool fibers. The "shedding" will lessen with regular vacuuming but may possibly continue with rugs positioned in high traffic area and subject to "abnormal" use.
Oriental Weavers Sphinx Division carries no specific warranty or guarantees other than stated herein, whether written or implied on any of our rugs.

Design Alignment / Pattern Effects In the design of Oriental Weavers rugs, the greatest care is taken to insure accurate reproduction of traditional handmade rugs and is so manufactured accordingly. Many patterns will not be exact and perfectly aligned as to dimensions of the actual rug and some designs may appear to be off-center or misaligned. These patterns are designed this way intentionally. All of Oriental Weavers' rugs are manufactured to exacting specifications and each pattern is reproduced to these specifications each time they are woven. The variation does not constitute a manufacturing defect and therefore does not qualify as a defect in any case. The "Striations" in the rugs are part of the side-woven design and representative of the "Abrash" look normally found in handmade rugs. This is not a design defect.
Return Condition and Packaging Oriental Weavers expects customers to take proper care in packaging for the return of a rug. The rug should be wrapped and secured in a plastic or other sturdy material, taped or tied and with the intent for the rug to reach the destination in the condition that it left the customer. The issued UPS label MUST ACCOMPANY THE rug with the RA number on it. Any rug returned without the proper label and RA number will not be accepted.
