products. Use of non-ooring manufacturer approved cleaning and maintenance products, including oil soap or ammonia based
products, will void all warranties. For a current list of approved products, please call your local dealer, or wood distributor. The
limited warranties do not cover color changes to any ooring which results from exposure to UV light.
Normal exposure to sunlight will cause changes in the shading of any wood oor, and this is not considered a defect. Certain
species including, but not limited to, American Cherry, Walnut, Brazilian Cherry, Tigerwood, and most Exotics, are especially
susceptible to color change. Please contact your ooring retailer for more information. Area rugs should be moved occasionally,
as they block sunlight and may give the appearance of discoloration under the rug. After your oor is installed, it is critical to
maintain the temperature and humidity of the home within the ranges set forth in the applicable installation instructions for
the product. Failure to follow these guidelines, especially with regard to humidity range, can result in a performance failure
or damage to your oor. In addition, it is important to maintain your oor in accordance with the ooring manufacturer’s
maintenance instructions which can be found in the ooring manufacturer maintenance yer. These warranties do not cover
damage or unsatisfactory performance caused by excessive moisture or moisture vapor including, but not limited to, improper
humidity inside the home, excessive ground moisture that migrates into the home for any reason, excessive sub-oor moisture,
water leaks caused by broken pipes or appliances, improper cleaning methods such as wet mopping or automated cleaning
machines, weather conditions or natural disasters such as ooding or excessive rainfall. Since wood is a natural product, it
will tend to expand and contract as moisture and humidity levels inside the home may change. Accordingly, normal expansion
and contraction which results in minor separations between ooring boards are not covered by these warranties. Any ooring
manufacturer product which is designated as “cabin grade”, “tavern grade”, “second”, or “as is” is not covered by the above
warranties.

OTHERWISE ARE MADE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL FLOORING MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR
DAMAGE ARISING FROM THE PURCHASE, USE, OR INABILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT, FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW
LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL
RIGHTS. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. YOUR RIGHTS AND THE
LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. THUS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO RETAIN THIS WARRANTY
INFORMATION. NO INSTALLER, RETAILER, DISTRIBUTOR, AGENT, OR EMPLOYEE OF FLOORING MANUFACTURER
HAS THE AUTHORITY TO INCREASE OR ALTER THE OBLIGATIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF THIS WARRANTY. HANDLING
OF CLAIMS UNDER THIS WARRANTY
Claims must be led within the coverage period, and information verifying the date of purchase may be required. The ooring
manufacturer reserves the right to have a designated ooring manufacturer representative inspect the oors and remove
samples for technical analysis. If you need to le a claim under this warranty, rst contact your ooring manufacturer retailer. If
for some reason, your retailer is unable to satisfy your claim, you may contact us at:
Mullican Flooring, Claims Department, P.O. Box 3549
