1. LIMITED WARRANTY. Georgia-Pacific Wood Products LLC (“GP”)
provides the following limited warranties (“Limited Warranty”) with respect to
camouflage plywood and oriented strand board (“OSB”) panels (the “Product”)
manufactured by GP or its affiliated U.S.-based Georgia-Pacific companies, and
purchased and used within the continental United States. PLEASE READ THIS
DOCUMENT CAREFULLY AS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS BELOW.
TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER
“90-Day Limited Warranty.”
GP warrants to the original purchaser of the Product (“Original Purchaser”)
that for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase (the “Limited
Warranty Period”):
(A) The Product will be free of Delamination (as hereafter defined)
caused by a manufacturing or design defect. “Delamination” means a
visible separation between plies or layers that normally receive adhesive
at their interface and are firmly contacted in the pressing operation.
Wood characteristics such as checking, leafing, splitting, and broken
grain are not to be construed as Delamination.
(B) The Product will be free of Overlay Delamination (as hereafter
defined) caused by a manufacturing or design defect. “Overlay
Delamination” means the visible separation of the camouflage overlay
from the OSB or plywood panel exceeding 20 square inches (equivalent
to a 5 inch diameter area) on more than two separate areas per panel.
(C) Product bearing the APA
®
-The Engineered Wood Association
certification will, on the date of manufacture, meet the applicable
manufacturing standards under PS-1 or PS-2 as certified on trademark
stamp on the Product and in effect at the time of manufacture
(“Industry Standard”).
This Limited Warranty is non-transferable and is being
extended by GP to the Original Purchaser who vertically
installs the Product, or has had the Product vertically
installed, in a structure.
“Warranted Condition”, as used in this Limited Warranty, means Product
Delamination, Overlay Delamination or Product’s failure to meet the Industry
Standard on the date of manufacture.
“You” or “Your” as used in Paragraphs 1-6 of this Limited Warranty means the
Original Purchaser.
2. WHAT WE WILL DO/LIMITED REMEDY. If during the Limited Warranty
Period, the Original Owner provides notice of Warranted Condition in accordance
with Section 3 herein, GP will, in its sole discretion, either repair or replace the
defective portion of the Product, or reimburse you the original retail purchase
price of the defective portion of the Product. If the original retail purchase price
cannot be established by you, such shall be determined by GP in its reasonable
discretion. GP’s repair or replacement of the defective portion of the Product or
reimbursement as described herein is GP’s only obligation with respect to the
Product and also the sole and exclusive remedy for damage allegedly caused by,
or a defect of any nature in, the Product.
3. WHAT YOU MUST DO/CONDITIONS OF LIMITED WARRANTY.
Coverage under this Limited Warranty shall be subject to the following terms
and conditions:
(A) Promptly following discovery of a Warranted Condition, you must provide
written notice to GP at 133 Peachtree Street N.E., 14th Floor, Atlanta, GA
30303, Attn: Claims Manager. All notices must be accompanied by a sales
receipt. In addition, the notice must describe the location and details of the claimed
defect and include photographs, proof that you are the Original Purchaser, and
any additional information reasonably requested by GP to investigate the claim.
(B) Prior to beginning any permanent repair, you must allow GP or its agent
a reasonable time (not to exceed 30 days after receipt by GP of all necessary
information) to enter the property and structure where the Product is installed to
examine, photograph and take samples of the Product. Failure to follow the
requirements of this Paragraph 3 may permit GP to void this Limited Warranty.
GP is not responsible to the extent any Warranted Condition is worsened by your
failure to promptly report a claimed defect.
(C) With respect to any Dispute (as defined herein), including but not
limited to any Dispute arising out of or relating to GP’s denial or partial honoring
of a warranty claim, you must proceed to mandatory arbitration or
small claims court, subject to the terms herein (SEE ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT IN PARAGRAPH 7).

Misuse, or misapplication, including any application other than vertical installation
of the Product; (c) Failure to store, handle, install or maintain a Product
