Warranty Guide

How to Obtain Warranty Service:
The Warranty Holder must inspect the Flooring for Manufacturing Defects caused by improper milling, grading,
staining and coating, and report any such defects to Cali Bamboo, prior to installation of the Flooring. To obtain
warranty service, the Warranty Holder must contact Cali Bamboo’s Customer Experience Department:
customerservice@calibamboo.com/ 888-788-2254. Warranty claims must be received within 30 calendar days
after the Warranty Holder identifies the Manufacturing Defect or other basis for a warranty claim. To be covered
under this Cali Bamboo limited warranty, the Warranty Holder must provide documentation of sales order and
proof that the Flooring was properly installed in accordance with the Installation Guide (defined below).
Cali Bamboo reserves the right to retain a certified and independent flooring inspector to verify the Warranty
Holder’s warranty claims. The determination of the flooring inspector regarding the warranty claim is not binding
on either Cali Bamboo or on the Warranty Holder. A determination that does not verify the warranty claim shall
not affect the Warranty Holder’s right to submit its claim to arbitration in accordance with the terms of the
Arbitration Agreement (as defined in Cali Bamboo’s Terms and Conditions of Purchase). The performance of
the inspection, however, if requested by Cali Bamboo and assuming that Cali Bamboo advances the full cost of
the inspection as described above, is a requirement for the Warranty Holder to submit a warranty claim to
arbitration under the Arbitration Agreement.
