Hygroscopic materials: 
Wood is a hygroscopic material which means that it will take up or let out moisture depending on the environment it is placed in. YPF uses kiln dried wood however it is important to let wood acclimatise so it reaches the EMS (equilibrium moisture content) of its environment. After accepting delivery, it is the customers responsibility to store the units, doors, and panels properly to avoid damage, bowing or splitting of the wood. Batons are fitted on doors, panels, and shelves the act as support to prevent bowing. Where these batons must be subsequently removed, if the item was supplied unfinished or exterior finished only, it will need to be finished immediately to avoid bowing. 
Tolerance: Given that wood is a hygroscopic material and the handmade manufacturing process please allow up to 2 mm tolerance on finished cabinet/furniture individual unit sizes manufactured. Measurements may vary depending on the tape measure used, YPF uses Stanley FAT MAX 8m tape measures in its factory. 
Items supplied in natural unfinished wood: It is the customers responsibility seal the wood by painting, lacquering, staining, varnishing, oiling or waxing immediately to avoid splitting, bowing or movement of the wood: If items are supplied unfinished. If items are supplied exterior finished only. If items are supplied interior finished only. Failure by the customer to seal the wood immediately upon receiving the items will invalidate any warranty offered by YPF. Finishing: Details of the YPF finishing service are documented in the YPF finishing brochure. YPF can offer a paint, lacquer, stain, varnish, oil or wax finishing service for all the items it supplies. If a customer requests a finishing quote YPF will quote separately for exterior and interior finishing. Given that wood is a hygroscopic material, items when finished might require remedial work once they have climatised to their new environment. Any site visits to carry out remedial work to finishing, return or redelivery costs will have to be paid for by the customer using YPF’s current price list. 
Grain and shade differences:
Grain and shade might vary between individual pieces and between panels because wood is a natural material and wood is cut in size order. Grain and shade differences can be minimised by using knotless pine, tulip wood or oak.
Colours and shade differences:
Colours might vary from the colour charts or online images used. 
Different batches of paint might have a different colour shade and therefore might not match previously painted items. 
Coulours matched to customer specifications:
Although every effort will be made, colours matched to specific paint suppliers colours might not always be the same shade. The only way colours can be guaranteed is when the paint is bought from the the paint supplier.  
Damage/Faults: YPF must be notified in writing within 2 weeks of accepting delivery if there are any faults or problems with the items supplied. For YPF’s warranty to remain valid no alterations or modifications can be made to the items supplied.
