its option, elect to refund the percentage of the original purchase price listed under Recovery on the Prorated

b. Exclusions and Limitations of Certain Damages.
In no event will Fiberon be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, exemplary,
statutory, special, or other, damages based upon the Fiberon Products or resulting, directly or indirectly, from any
defect in the Fiberon Products, including but not limited to damage to, diminution in value of and/or loss of use or
enjoyment of, any property or part thereof, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, statute, regulation or
otherwise, even if Fiberon is expressly advised about the possibility of such damages. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages in certain circumstances, so the above limitation may
not apply to you.
In addition, this Limited Warranty does not cover and Fiberon shall not be liable for any installation, removal or
reinstallation costs. Fiberon does not warrant against and is not responsible for, and no express or implied warranty
shall be deemed to cover, any condition attributable to: (1) improper installation of Fiberon products and/or failure to
abide by Fiberon’s written instructions and any applicable laws or building codes, including but not limited to improper
structural support, fastening, ventilation or gapping; (2) use of Fiberon Products beyond normal use or in an
application not recommended or permitted by Fiberon’s written instructions and applicable laws and building codes;
(3) movement, distortion, collapse or settling of the ground or the supporting structure on which Fiberon Products are
installed; (4) Defects in or failure arising from decking structure resulting from water caused by improper installation,
workmanship, maintenance or repair; (5) any Act of God (including but not limited to flooding, hurricane, tornado,
wind, earthquake, lightning, hail, etc.); (6) discoloration, fading, spotting or staining from or caused, in whole or in
part, by mold, mildew, other fungal growth, organic materials, metallic oxides or particles (including but not limited to
rust or corrosion of any fasteners), dirt, other atmospheric or environmental pollutants, foreign substances such as
grease or oil, chemicals (including but not limited to those found in cleaners), or normal weathering (defined as
natural efflorescence, exposure to sunlight, weather and atmospheric conditions which causes any colored surface to
gradually fade, flake, chalk, or accumulate dirt or stains); (7) damage resulting from casualty, fire or exposure to heat
sources such as cooking devices or retro-reflective surfaces; (8) the application of paints, stains, surface treatments
or other chemical substances including but not limited to cleaners or pesticides; (9) fading, flaking or other
deterioration of any paints, stains or other coatings placed on the Fiberon Products; (10) climate change,
environmental conditions, static electricity or any cause beyond the control of Fiberon; (11) variations or changes in
color of Fiberon Products; (12) improper handling, maintenance, storage, abuse or neglect of Fiberon Products by
Purchaser or others; (13) ordinary wear and tear; (14) impact from objects; or (15) any fasteners not supplied or

c. Additional Terms and Limitations.
The suitability of the Fiberon Products for Purchaser’s property for the installation and use of the Fiberon Products,
including but not limited to whether the Fiberon Product meets the requirements of any applicable building or safety
code or similar regulation relating to Purchaser’s property, is the responsibility of the Purchaser and/or its design
professionals, and not that of Fiberon. Fiberon does not provide architectural or engineering services. Fiberon makes
no express or implied warranty or representation as to the suitability of the Fiberon Products for, or actual
performance, capabilities or operation of the Fiberon Products at, Purchaser’s property or under the conditions of
Purchaser’s use.
Without limitation on any other provision of this Limited Warranty, all warranties, whether express or implied, and

is not installed, maintained and/or used strictly in accordance with Fiberon’s written instructions, and all applicable
laws, codes and regulations; (ii) misuse of the product, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable; (iii) failure of proper
and timely maintenance or repair; (iv) failure to provide timely notice to Fiberon of any failure or defect of the Fiberon
Product; or (v) use of fasteners other than the Fiberon branded fasteners or approved hidden fasteners listed on
