PRODUCTS & COVERAGE
Halstead warrants that its Lifeproof
TM
flooring will be free from
manufacturing defects and, under normal use and maintenance, will not
wear, fade or stain resulting in loss of original pattern and color, and the
structural integrity of the flooring itself will not be materially damaged by
water exposure, for a specified length of time from the date of purchase
as set forth in the Warranty Coverage chart on the right. This Limited
Warranty only applies provided the flooring covered by this warranty
is installed and maintained according to the Lifeproof
TM
Installation
Instructions.
PRE-INSTALLATION
Halstead warrants that its flooring is free of visual defects. You and/or
your installer should carefully inspect each piece before installation. Any
pieces that appear to have defects should not be installed. Halstead will
not be responsible for any claim for flooring installed with visual defects.
INSTALLATION
This Limited Warranty covers materials only, provided that such flooring
is installed according to the Lifeproof
TM
Installation Instructions. These
Instructions are revised periodically and floors must be installed according
to the current Instructions at the time of installation. Please check
homedepot.com for the current Lifeproof
TM
Installation Instructions.
REPLACEMENT/REPAIRS
Halstead reserves the right to repair any flooring and/or to use its own
source to obtain an installer for replacement flooring. If Halstead repairs
or replaces any flooring as a result of a warranty claim, you will be required
to clear, at your own expense, any items placed over the affected areas
subsequent to the original installation. In the event that Halstead repairs
or replaces any flooring covered under this Limited Warranty, this Limited
Warranty shall remain in effect with respect to such flooring for a period
limited to the remaining eligible duration of the original Limited Warranty.
TERMS FOR WARRANTY
If a defect covered by this Limited Warranty is found within the warranty
period and reported to Halstead, then Halstead will supply new flooring
material of similar color, pattern and quality to replace the defective area.
In case of questions regarding the terms of this Limited Warranty, contact
Halstead Customer Service at [phone]. Halstead reserves the
right to inspect any flooring, request samples, secure photographs or
any other information that may be required to ascertain the nature of any
claim under this Limited Warranty.
EXCLUSIONS
The following are not covered by this Limited Warranty:
• Dissatisfaction or damage due to improper installation or
maintenance, including use of improper cleaning solutions or
finishes, unevenness or irregularities. Refer to the Lifeproof
TM
Installation Instructions for more details.
• Damage caused by fire, burns, abuse, flooding, spills, scratches,
abrasive scouring pads, scuffing, staining, construction or
installation.
• Damage caused by vacuum cleaner beater bar, indentations or
damage caused by spiked heeled shoes, improper rolling loads
and/or caster wheels, chairs or other furniture without proper floor
protectors and cuts from sharp objects.
• Changes in color or sheen from exposure to sunlight or due to use
of rubber-backed mats.
• Exterior applications.
• Installation on stairs
• Lifeproof™ includes a pre-attached sound mitigating pad. If an
additional underlayment is required, the Lifeproof™ Universal
Underlayment (SKU 1006262709) has been tested and approved
to be used with Lifeproof™ vinyl flooring. All other underlayments
require you to check with the manufacturer of the underlayment on
their warranty policy. Product failure due to additional underlayment
installed under the flooring is not covered by this warranty.
• Loss of gloss.
• Minor shading, color or texture differences between samples or
printed color photographs or illustrations and delivered product.
• Flooring sold as irregulars or trial grade materials or “as is”.
• This flooring should not be used to seal an existing floor from
moisture, it is a floating floor which is waterproof, but this flooring
cannot prevent problems associated with or caused by flooding,
excessive moisture or alkalis in the subfloor or conditions arising
from hydrostatic pressure.
• Only installation techniques described in the Lifeproof
TM
Installation
Instructions are warranted. Halstead does not warrant Lifeproof
TM
installations involving custom cutting, such as 45-degree mitered
corners and serpentine edges. Halstead does not warrant
Lifeproof
TM
installations in which the flooring is adhered (glued or
nailed) to the subfloor, as Lifeproof
TM
is a floating floor.
• Loss due to loss of time, inconvenience, incidental expenses (such
as telephone calls, labor and/or materials) incurred in the removal
or re-installation of the affected material, and any other incidental
or consequential damages.
Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so that the above limitations and
exclusions may not apply. Your Limited Warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other legal rights, which vary from state to state
and province to province.
This Limited Warranty is in lieu of any other warranties, expressed or
implied. Please keep your receipt or obtain it from The Home Depot
®
.
Halstead requires a valid proof of purchase in the form of sales receipt,
invoice, or statement, which shows the date, product and location
purchased. Original receipts are prone to fading over time. We suggest
that you make a photocopy or scan your receipt for future warranty
purposes.
