requirements
specified for
each respective
warranty, the
following
general terms
and conditions
apply to each of
the warranties
unless otherwise
specified. This
warranty applies
only to the
first owner and
the first
installation of
the product and
is not
transferable.
The person
deemed to be the
first owner is
the person
stated as the
buyer on the
purchase
invoice. This
warranty applies
to all first
quality product
purchases for
the designated
warranty life of
the product** in
residential
applications and

in light
commercial
applications.

The manufacturer
will repair or

product at their
option. In cases
where a
replacement of
the flooring is
agreed upon,
only new panels
of the current
supply program
at the time the
complaint is
upheld will be
supplied by the
retailer. There
will be no other
form of
compensation.
These warranties

first quality
laminate
flooring

residential
spaces or in
indoor
commercial
spaces subject
to light

expected uses of
a laminate floor
in a residential
or a light
commercial
environment.

locking warranty

open joints
greater than
0.01inches
(0.2mm). The

standing water
from hydrostatic
pressure or
other casualty
events is not
covered by this
warranty.

or accessories

carefully for
material defects
before and
during
installation and
under sufficient
lighting.
Products with
visible defects
must not be
installed under
any
circumstances.
The retailer
must be informed
in writing of
such defects
within 30 days
of purchase.

has elapsed, no
further
complaints will
be accepted.
Color and gloss
issues resulting
from material
added to an
existing
installation at
a later date and
non-warranty
repairs are
excluded from
coverage.
Liability
arising from
this warranty is
restricted to
hidden defects.
These are
defects that
were not visible
before or during
the installation
of the laminate
floor. If the
product was
originally
professionally
installed, the
manufacturer
will cover
reasonable labor
costs.
These
warranties do
not apply to
damage from
exposure to
extreme heat,
dryness, or
water saturation
or stains as a
result of
chemical or
industrial
products (other
than recommended
cleaning
products).The
floor may not be
installed in
damp and/or
humid areas or
in extremely dry
areas or areas
where there are
extremely high
temperatures
(such as saunas
or swimming pool
areas).
To
qualify for
repair or
replacement, the
original sales
receipt or other
documentation
which
demonstrates
proof of
purchase must be
supplied. If the
product for
which a claim is
made is no
longer
available, the
customer will be
able to choose a
product of equal
value from the
current product
range.

only to the
residential or
light commercial
