Warranty
20 YEAR PERFORMANCE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT IS COVERED
This railing product is covered under a Limited Residential Warranty to protect against checking, splitting, decay, rot and splintering.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
In no event will the manufacturer be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, exemplary, statutory, special,
or other, damages based upon the manufacturer products or manufacturer fasteners or resulting, directly or indirectly, from any defect in
the manufacturer products or fasteners, including but not limited to damage to, diminution in value of and/or loss of use or enjoyment of,
any property or part thereof, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, statute, regulation or otherwise, even if the manufacturer is
expressly advised about the possibility of such damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages in certain circumstances, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
In addition, this Limited Warranty does not cover and the manufacturer shall not be liable for any installation, removal or reinstallation
costs. The manufacturer does not warrant against and is not responsible for, and no express or implied warranty shall be deemed to cover,
any condition attributable to: (1) improper installation of products and/or failure to abide by the manufacturer’s written instructions and
any applicable laws or building codes, including but not limited to improper structural support, fastening, ventilation or gapping; (2) use
of the manufacturer‘s products beyond normal use or in an application not recommended or permitted by the manufacturer’s written
instructions and applicable laws and building codes; (3) movement, distortion, collapse or settling of the ground or the supporting structure
on which the manufacturer’s products are installed; (4) Defects in or failure arising from decking structure resulting from water caused
by improper installation, workmanship, maintenance or repair; (5) any Act of God (including but not limited to ooding, hurricane, tornado,
wind, earthquake, lightning, hail, etc.); (6) discoloration, fading, spotting or staining from or caused, in whole or in part, by mold, mildew,
other fungal growth, organic materials, metallic oxides or particles (including but not limited to rust or corrosion of any fasteners), dirt,
other atmospheric or environmental pollutants, foreign substances such as grease or oil, chemicals (including but not limited to those found
in cleaners), or normal weathering (dened as natural eforescence, exposure to sunlight, weather and atmospheric conditions which
causes any colored surface to gradually fade, ake, chalk, or accumulate dirt or stains); (7) damage resulting from casualty, re or exposure
to heat sources such as cooking devices or retro-reective surfaces; (8) the application of paints, stains, surface treatments or other
chemical substances including but not limited to cleaners or pesticides; (9) fading, aking or other deterioration of any paints, stains or
other coatings placed on the manufacturer’s products; (10) climate change, environmental conditions, static electricity or any cause beyond
the control of the manufacturer; (11) variations or changes in color of the manufacturer’s products; (12) improper handling, maintenance,
storage, abuse or neglect of the manufacturer’s products by Purchaser or others; (13) ordinary wear and tear; (14) impact from objects; or
(15) any fasteners not supplied or approved by the manufacturer.
No warranty is given with respect to any fasteners other than the fasteners produced by the manufacturer. Other fasteners, whether
approved fasteners or otherwise, are subject to only the warranties provided by the manufacturer of the fastener and Purchaser’s sole
warranty and remedy is with that manufacturer.
