MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY
What We Cover and for How Long
Manufacturer warrants to the original residential purchaser for a period indicated on this carton from the original date of
purchase, that:
1. The design layer of the oor will not stain, wear through or fade from normal sunlight or articial lighting under normal use conditions in a dry indoor
residential setting.
2. The oor will be free of manufacturing defects.
3. The oor joints will remain secure under normal use conditions.
4. The oor will resist water damage from normal use conditions when you follow our recommended cleaning and care practices.
What You Must Do to Keep the Warranty in Effect
Your oor must be installed in a dry, climate controlled, indoor, residential environment (temperature range of 64°-86°F
(18°-30°C) and humidity range of 35% to 75%.)
You must keep your proof of purchase, the end carton label that identies the product and other documents and receipts,
such as your installation invoice.
What This Warranty Does Not Cover
We do not cover any installation costs for ooring installed with known defects. You must inspect all planks for recognizable
defects before and during the installation.
We do not cover surface wear or damage resulting from abusive conditions, misuse of the product, freight damage,
modication, alteration, repair or service by anyone other than the authorized Manufacturer’s representative, or accidents,
including but not limited to severe impact, scratching, cutting, negligence or chemical damage.
We do not cover scratches, indentations and marks that continue across multiple planks. Gloss reduction is not surface wear.
Surface wear must be readily visible from the distance of 6 feet, measuring at least 1 square inch.
We do not cover water damage caused by natural disasters, standing water (e.g. from appliance failures), excessive moisture
emissions from a concrete slab (more than 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. over a 24-hour period), hydrostatic pressure, pet urine or
other corrosive liquids or outside water (from snow, rain or water which enters through an open window or door, etc.)
We do not cover molding, underlayment, vapor barrier and accessories.
We do not cover damage from rotating beater bars, steam cleaners, abrasive scrubbers, wet mopping, waxes or similar
cleaning and care methods.
We will not review claims unless you purchased the oor from an authorized retailer in the original packaging.

What We Will Do to Correct Problems
If we approve a claim, we may choose to repair, replace or refund the original cost of the defective materials. If the product is
no longer available, you will be able to choose from our current designs of equal value. We warrant products that we have
repaired or replaced only for the remainder of the original Limited Warranty period. We reserve the right to inspect installed
ooring and to remove samples if needed. We may also pay reasonable labor costs to repair or replace any defective product
if the oor was professionally installed and a claim is approved during the rst year after installation.
