4. This warranty does not apply to laminate ooring that has been put to abnormal use or conditions or abused in any
way, which includes, but is not limited to moisture damage from plumbing, storm or ood; damage from smoke, re
or other casualty events; damage caused by negligence; improper alterations of the original manufactured product;
damage from use of the ooring that is unreasonable considering the normal and expected uses of a laminate oor
in a residential environment; damage of mechanical nature, severe impact or scratches (caused by dragging objects
or furniture) or cutting; damage caused by water or moisture trapped beneath the oor due to improper subooring
or underlayment, including but not limited to damage from hydrostatic pressure (water or moisture under the oor
that is transmitted to the surface through exerted pressure) or other conditions that result in water or moisture
beneath the oor; or damage caused by moisture left on the oor around the wall base, transitions, and trims. The
water-resistant warranty does not apply to damage caused by events beyond everyday household spills, including
but not limited to ooding, standing water (water that remains on oor longer than thirty minutes), leaking pipes,
mechanical failures or appliance leaks. The water resistant warranty applies to Style Selections laminate products
only. The damage to the product must be evident, measuring per product unit (plank, accessory, etc.) at least 1.40
square centimeters or 0.5 square inch.
5. This warranty applies only to Style Selections Laminate Flooring installed according to the manufacturer’s
recommended installation instructions in indoor climate controlled residential spaces. We recommend using Style
Selections approved underlayments which have been specically designed and tested for use with the patented
click-lock system. The use of accessories other than Style Selections approved items may cause damage to the
Style Selections oor. Proof of compliance with the installation and maintenance instructions must be provided if a
claim is led.
6. A suitable mat or sufciently large transition area at the entrance door(s) must be used to prevent sand and/or dust
from damaging the ooring. Scratching during and after installation is not covered. Gloss reduction is not surface
wear. The feet of furniture must always be covered with appropriate protective material. Chairs, sofas, or furniture
with castors must be tted with soft rubber wheels, or an adequate protective mat or protective castor cups must be
put under this furniture. This warranty does not apply to damage from exposure to extreme heat, dryness, or stains
as a result of chemical or industrial products (other than recommended cleaning products). The ooring may not be
installed in damp and/or humid areas, in extremely dry areas or areas where there are extremely high temperatures
(such as saunas or swimming pool areas).
7. Pro Ration of Warranty Period: The Limited Residential warranty period is pro rata over 30 years. A pro rata
warranty is one that provides for a refund or credit that decreases according to a set formula as the warranty period
progresses. The Style Selections original warranty value is reduced by the amount of time that you own it. When a
claim is made, the value of the warranty becomes a percentage of ownership per year based upon the 30 years for
the general warranty for ooring, and accessories and/or 30 years on the integrity of the joint. Any services provided
as part of this warranty do not extend the original warranty period. If the product for which a claim is made is no
longer available, the customer will be able to choose a Style Selections product of equal value from the current
product range. Warranty coverage is limited to a one-time oor replacement.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES WHICH MAY ARISE BY IMPLICATION OF LAW OR APPLICATION
OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE – INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE – ARE EXPRESSLY
EXCLUDED. NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, EXTEND BEYOND
THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY BROCHURE, AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. Implied warranties refer to ones that the law presumes to have been given by the

WILL NOT PAY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER
UNDER THIS WARRANTY. PLEASE NOTE: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation or exclusion
may not apply to you. Except for these rights, the remedies provided under these warranties state the entire limit of
Style Selections’ responsibilities.
