Lees® carpet
carries the
Ultra25® Limited
Stain Warranty
which is
serviced by the
3M Service
Center. If your
Lees® carpet
becomes stained
within 25 years
from the
original date of
purchase and you
cannot remove
the stain using
the recommended
procedures in
the 3M Carpet
Care Guide
(which you will
receive in the
mail after your
carpet
purchase), the
3M Service
Center will be
responsible for
removing the
stain free of
charge. If the
stain cannot be
removed, the 3M
Service Center
will arrange for
the replacement
of the affected
area (the
stained and
adjacent areas
extending to the
nearest wall,
doorway, or
entrance) with
identical carpet
or Lees® carpet
of comparable
cost. If
replacement
carpet is not
available and a
reselection of a
higher priced
Lees® product is
authorized by
3M, the customer
must pay the
difference in
retail price.
Selection of
replacement
carpet other
than Lees® will
void the
remainder of the
Ultra 25®
Limited Stain
Warranty.
If replacement
is authorized in
the first five
years of the
warranty, there
will be no
charge for the
replacement
carpet. Customer
will be
responsible for
paying for any
cushion and
labor plus
disposal costs
for stained
carpet and
cushion.
If replacement
is authorized in
the sixth
through 25th
year of the
warranty,
customer will be
responsible for
paying a fee for
the replacement
carpet amounting
to half of the
purchase price
of the original
carpet in
addition to any
cushion and
labor plus
disposal costs
for the stained
carpet and
cushion. All
stains must be
reported to the
3M Service
Center within
five days of
occurrence, and
all replacements
must be
completed within
six months of
the first report
of the stain to
the 3M Service
Center. Disposal
of original
carpet is
required.
Customer must
retain the
original receipt
for the
purchased
carpet.
