Warranty Terms & Conditions

Hercules™ Instant Shelter provides a limited manufacturing warranty on all products from the date of the original purchase, ensuring the product will be free from defects in material and workmanship. The length of this warranty may vary by product. This warranty is valid for the original purchaser from the date of the initial purchase and is non-transferable.

This warranty assumes normal and reasonable event use, along with expected proper maintenance for all Hercules Instant Shelter products. It is only valid if the product is installed and operated according to the instructions in the user manual.

Hercules Instant Shelter reserves the right to determine whether a fault is caused by faulty workmanship, faulty materials, or a defective part. If a fault is confirmed, we reserve the right to repair or replace the product at our discretion.

This warranty does not apply to damage caused by wind or adverse weather conditions, unauthorised attachments or modifications, improper storage, accidents, or misuse. It also does not cover damage from fair wear and tear (e.g., scratches, dents, dings, and chipping) or changes in the product’s appearance that do not affect its performance.

STOP USING OVERNIGHT: We do not recommend leaving your gazebo assembled overnight. Pop-up gazebos are considered temporary structures. Unexpected rain or changes in temperature may cause condensation when left up for extended periods, potentially causing serious damage.

PURCHASE PROTECTION INSURANCE: We advise you to seek private insurance to protect yourself and your property against the risk of loss or damage.

This warranty applies only to products purchased from Hercules Instant Shelter or its authorised agents.

Limited Acrylic Fabric Warranty

This fabric warranty protects against the acrylic fabric becoming unserviceable due to significant loss of strength or colour from normal usage and exposure conditions.

Our acrylic umbrella fabric is warranted to maintain a lightfastness rating of 7-8 on a scale of 1-8 (i.e., no significant fading) for the duration of the warranty period. Colours utilising red and yellow pigments (e.g., red, yellow, orange, pink, etc.) will have a lower colorfastness rating, meaning they will show signs of fading earlier.

This warranty does not apply to any deterioration caused by wind or weather-related damage, misuse, burns, negligence, vandalism, perforations, stains from environmental pollution, or fair wear and tear.

All of our items are checked before dispatch and leave our warehouse in perfect condition. If your order arrives damaged, please MUST notify us with the following information within 24 hours of receiving the items.
