THIS LIMITED WARRANTY is given by Centaur® Fencing Systems, a
division of E. S. Robbins Corporation, (“Centaur”) whose address is
2802 East Avalon Avenue, Muscle Shoals, Alabama, 35661, to you, the
original retail purchaser of a Fence System manufactured by Centaur. The
Product Warranty Registration Card must be returned to Centaur within
60 days of purchase in order to receive coverage under this warranty.
WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS AND FOR HOW LONG: For a period
of twenty (20) years, commencing on the date that you received the
purchased Cenflex® Rail, Cenflex® Line Post Brackets, Inside Corner
Roller, One and Two-Way Barrel Tensioners Sure-Hook® Termination
Bracket, or Sure-Hook® Splice Buckle herein after as (Rail /
Components), Centaur will deliver new Rail/Components adequate to
replace any defective Rail/Components for the Replacement Price as
described. If Rail/Components contain any defect which is a direct result
of the material or the workmanship used in manufacturing, the Rail/
Components will be a prorated replacement.
WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: This warranty does NOT
cover any of the following:
A. Damage to, or defect in, the Rail/Components resulting from fires,
floods, storms, accidents, acts of God, or from alteration, misuse,
improper care, or abuse of the Fence by any person, animal or foreign
object whatsoever.
B. Installation of the Fence or of the replacement Rail/Components,
or damage or defects resulting, directly or indirectly, from any act
or omission in the installation of the Rail/Components, regardless of
whether the Rail/Components is installed by an individual approved
by Centaur or installed by any other individual in compliance with
specifications and requirements provided by or on behalf of Centaur.
C. Damage to real property, personal property, or animals, livestock, or
any other incidental or consequential damages arising out of any defect
of materials or workmanship in the manufacturing of the Fence or out
of any act, omission, representation, or warranty of Centaur its agents,
employees, or servants.
D. Defects or damage in or to the brace assemblies and/or the installation
thereof.
E. Rust, corrosion, normal weathering or discoloration, unless the
affected Rail/Component becomes inoperable. Normal weathering
is defined as exposure to sunlight and extremes of weather and
atmosphere which causes any colored surface to gradually fade, chalk,
or accumulate dirt or stains. The severity of any condition depends on
the geographical location of the Fence, the cleanliness of the air in the
area, and many other influences over which Centaur cannot control.
Also, this warranty Does Not cover labor or labor related charges.
F. Centaur reserves the right to discontinue or modify any of its products,
including replacement Rail/Components as well as color, without notice
to the consumer/buyer, nor will Centaur be liable in the event the
replacement material may vary in color or gloss in comparison to the
original product as a result of normal weathering.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR
WORKMANSHIP
REMEDIES AND LIMITATIONS: Your sole remedy under this Limited
Warranty Agreement shall be the replacement of the Rail/Components
as set forth above. We will not install the replacement material. TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CENTAUR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS
ALL EXPRESSED WARRANTIES EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY
SET FORTH HEREIN AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. CENTAUR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL AND
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A BREACH OF THIS
WARRANTY, ANY OTHER EXPRESSED WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY. IF THE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OF
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, CENTAUR HEREBY LIMITS THE DURATION OF
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO
THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE THE FENCE WAS DELIVERED TO YOU.
If, notwithstanding the above provision, there should arise any liability
on the part of Centaur for implied warranties of any nature or for express
warranties other than as set forth herein or for any act or omission of
Centaur or its agents or employees, such liability shall be limited to an
amount equal to Two Hundred Fifty and no/100 Dollars ($250.00).
Such liability is fixed as total damages and not as a penalty and this
liability shall be complete and exclusive. The provisions of this paragraph
shall apply to all loss or damage of whatever nature arising from any act,
omission, representation, warranty, agreement of Centaur, its agents or
employees, including, but not limited to, loss to personal property and/or
livestock or cattle. You acknowledge that it is impractical and extremely
difficult to fix actual damages which may arise due to the failure of the
Fence. Therefore, you agree to this damages clause if, notwithstanding
the provisions hereinabove, there should arise any liability on Centaur
other than expressly set forth in this Limited Warranty. SOME STATES
DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY
LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

reserves the right to send a representative to inspect any alleged defect
in the Rail/Components. Centaur, upon its reasonable determination
that a defect in material or workmanship does exist, will deliver the
replacement Rail/Components within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the
written request and the prorated Replacement Price unless prohibited
from doing so by an act of God, strike, boycott, unavailability of parts and

return the defective product at Centaur’s cost. Centaur reserves the
right, should it independently select to do so, refund the amount paid
by the original owner for the Rail/Components. You will be responsible
