What takes place if my claim is authorized?
If Beaulieu
®
determines replacement carpet is necessary and the identical carpet is not available, or the existing
carpet cannot be reasonably repaired, Beaulieu
®
will, at its sole discretion, provide a carpet of comparable quality,
color, and value, or refund a portion of the original purchase price in the affected room(s) only, to be used towards the
purchase of a new Beaulieu
®
carpet. Under the terms of the limited warranties, costs associated with replacement
carpet and credit refunds are subject to the usage charges based on the original purchase date and cost, and will
be reduced by an amount equal to the usage charge as calculated in the Usage Guide found in this brochure. In
no case will any credit exceed the aggregate sum paid to Beaulieu
®
for the existing carpet. Disposal of the existing
carpet is the responsibility of the consumer, unless Beaulieu
®
requires it to be returned to the mill.
BEAULIEU
®
LIMITED WARRANTIES
These warranties apply to Beaulieu
®
carpet purchases on or after January 1, 2017.
Limited Wear/Durability Warranty
Beaulieu
®
warrants that when properly installed in compliance with CRI 105 Standard for Installation of Residential
Carpet, the pile yarn in any area of your carpet will not experience excessive wear for the duration of the warranty
period specified on your authorized Beaulieu
®
carpet dealer’s sample. Excessive wear is defined as a countable
loss of pile fiber of 10% or greater resulting from normal foot traffic, and is determined by pile yarn weight comparison
of the worn area of your carpet to non-trafficked areas, or by testing using mechanical wear simulators.
