ELIGIBILITY
UFP Warranty Corporation (the “Warrantor”) is pleased to extend this Warranty to you, the original Consumer of the DeckoRail
product. This Warranty is valid for original Consumers of DeckoRail Composite Decking and Railing material used in standard single
family dwellings and may not be assigned or transferred by you.
25-YEAR LIMITED STRUCTURAL WARRANTY
Warrantor, at its option, will either replace or refund the appropriate prorated portion of the purchase price as set forth in the
“Prorated Refund Schedule” below for any DeckoRail Composite Decking or Railing product that becomes structurally unfit due
to manufacturing defects, damage caused by termites, or rot from fungal decay within 25 years from the date of purchase. This
Warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, such as splitting, warping or cupping. This Warranty does not
cover costs of installation, removal or reinstallation. Warrantor’s sole obligation is limited to replacement of the Product or refund
of a percentage of the purchase. Warrantor shall have no further liability or obligation except as expressly stated herein.
25-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY – STAIN RESISTANCE
Applies to DeckoRail Composite Decking or Railing only. Warrantor will, at its option, either replace or refund the appropriate
prorated portion of the purchase price as set forth in the “Prorated Refund Schedule” below for any aforementioned DeckoRail
Composite Decking or Railing product used in a residential decking or railing application that exhibits permanent staining in
the first 25 years from the date of purchase when exposed to food and beverage spills, including wine, tea, coffee, fruit punch,
sodas, catsup, salad oils, barbeque sauces, mustard and other food- or beverage-related items that would typically be present
on a residential deck. This Warranty will apply only if an attempt is made by Consumer to remove any such spill from the decking
material with water and mild household cleaners within forty-eight (48) hours of exposure to the surface, and such attempt is
unsuccessful. Staining as a result of spilled abrasive compounds of acidic or basic pH, strong solvents, oil-based paints or stains,
metallic rust and other abnormal items not commonly used on a residential deck is not covered under this Warranty.
25-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY – FADE RESISTANCE
Applies to DeckoRail Composite Decking or Railing only. Warrantor will, at its option, either replace or refund the appropriate
prorated portion of the purchase price as set forth in the “Prorated Refund Schedule” below for any aforementioned DeckoRail
Composite Decking or Railing product used in a residential decking or railing application that exhibits “Excessive Color Fade” within
the first 25 years from the date of purchase. Excessive Color Fade is defined as a change in color greater than five (5) Delta E (CIE)
when calculated according to ASTM D2244 for all non-variegated color surfaces. Excessive Color Fade for variegated color surfaces
is defined as an unreasonable amount of color change in excess of “Normal Weathering.”
LIMITATIONS ON WARRANTY
The 25-Year Limited Stain and Fade Resistance Warranties extended herein apply only to DeckoRail Composite Decking or Railing.
Warrantor does not warrant any other DeckoRail product for stain or fade resistance.
Stain Limitations: DeckoRail Composite Decking or Railing products are not stain-proof. Care must be taken to remove all food,
beverage and other spilled materials with water and a mild household cleaner within forty-eight (48) hours of exposure. Stains
resulting from spilled abrasive compounds of acidic or basic pH, strong solvents, oil-based paints or stains, metallic rust and
other abnormal items not commonly used on a residential deck are excluded from coverage under this Warranty. Excluded stains
include but are not limited to pet or human bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, urine or feces, and fungicides, bactericides, biocides
and chemical-based plant food. Mold and mildew can settle and grow on any outdoor surface and, if not properly cleaned, can
stain that surface. Staining associated with mold or mildew that is not properly cleaned within one week of first appearance is not
covered under this Warranty. If stains persist, you will be required to produce documentation that you attempted to have the deck
professionally cleaned at least one time prior to making a claim under this Warranty.
Fade Limitations: No decking material is fade-proof when exposed to sunlight and other common atmospheric conditions. Normal
Weathering is to be expected over the life of the product and is not covered under this Warranty. Normal Weathering is defined as
exposure to sunlight and extremes of weather and atmosphere that will cause any colored surface to gradually fade, chalk, or
accumulate dirt or stains.
