Flame
Retardant Finish/Fabric
All Cartwright Textiles upholstery fabrics are manufactured to comply with the
California Upholstered Furniture Flammability Code Bulletin 117, revised February
1975 (117-75). However, Cartwright Textiles does not warrant or assume any responsibility
for flame retardant properties or compliance with any flammability standards,
or issue any certificate regarding flammability, and any such warranty is hereby
disclaimed and excluded. In case of doubt, we suggest a sample be submitted
to fire regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the installation site.
Cartwright Textiles takes no responsibility for determining the applicable flammability
regulations or compliance with those regulations by the finisher. Generally,
the finisher issues a notarized certificate to the customer covering the work
done. When arranging for flame retarding, the customer must advise as to: 1.
Installation location (town, city, state or specific regulation fabric is subject
to, i.e. aircraft regulation number and type of aircraft). 2. Application of
fabric (upholstery, drapery, wallcovering, etc.). Generally, finishers are unable
to process Leather, Vinyl, Polyester or fabrics of 72" and more in width. Typically,
flame retarding requires at least 15 days for processing. Processing and handling:
contact factory for pricing. Due to fabric shrinkage in the processing of special
finishes, 5% extra per pattern per order must be purchased to assure the customer's
yardage requirements.
Warranty
Cartwright Textiles is not responsible for dye lot variations or discrepancies
in width of fabrics. Fiber content and/or yarns may be substituted at our discretion.
Sources may be changed when deemed necessary without notification. Cartwright
Textiles does not warrant, guarantee, or represent an exact match to cuttings,
memos, or any samples of fabric or leather. Leather may contain certain natural
marks, grain and shade variations within hides considered by Cartwright Textiles
to be inherent characteristics. In any event, Cartwright Textiles' responsibility
will be limited to either replacement of merchandise or refund of purchase price
at our option. Under no circumstances will Cartwright Textiles be responsible
for any consequential damages, charges, costs, expenses, or obligations. Cartwright
Textiles makes no warranty of merchantability or fitness for any purpose, either
expressly or by implication.
