Warranty
UFP is not responsible for damage to ProWood
®
products where the wood has been sawn lengthwise or surfaced. Example: Cutting stair
stringers from ProWood lumber would invalidate this warranty.
UFP is not responsible for damage to ProWood
®
products caused by the “weathering” of wood, including but not limited to raised grain,
splitting, checking, twisting, warping, shrinkage, swelling, or any other physical property of the wood.
UFP is not responsible for any costs associated with removal of damaged wood product or delivery or installation of replacement ProWood
®
products.
UFP is not responsible for any incidental or consequential damages claimed to be a result of damaged or undamaged ProWood
®
products.
UFP is not responsible for corrosion of fasteners, hardware, or any other material, or any damage resulting from such an occurrence.
UFP is not responsible for delamination of plywood or other laminated wood products.
For the warranty to be valid, a brush-on endcoat wood preservative is required at the time of construction on all saw cuts and drill holes for
Douglas-fir and Hem-Fir treated wood products. Recommended endcoat wood preservatives include copper naphthenate, oxine copper, or
zinc naphthenate products. Important: follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper application.
HOW TO MAKE CLAIMS

UFP will, within sixty (60) days from the date of notice of your claim, and upon receipt of the proper documentation, make arrangements to
exchange the damaged wood products for the new ProWood

is claimed to be damaged prior to its removal.
NOTE: THE ONLY OBLIGATION OF UFP UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO REPLACEMENT OF
DAMAGED LUMBER OR THE MONETARY EQUIVALENT OF THE FAILED PROWOOD® PRODUCT UP TO THE ORIGINAL
PURCHASE PRICE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF UFP.
UFP MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL UFP BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR
INDIRECT DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS WARRANTY SHALL AFFECT THE DURATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES
BEYOND THEIR CUSTOMARY DURATION, OR CREATE ADDITIONAL IMPLIED WARRANTIES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary
from state to state. This warranty is valid only in the United States.
