Warranty Guide

ELIGIBILITY
UFP Ventures II, Inc. (the “Warrantor”) is pleased to extend this Warranty to you, the original end user of the Deckorators
product. This Warranty is valid for Deckorators CXT Railing products used in a standard residential application and may not be
assigned or transferred by you.
TWENTY-FIVE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY—STAIN RESISTANCE
Warrantor will, at Warrantor’s sole discretion, replace or refund the appropriate prorated portion of the purchase price as set forth
below for any Deckorators CXT Railing product used in a residential deck 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,
ketchup, salad oils, barbecue sauces, mustard and other food- or beverage-related items that would typically be present on a
residential deck. Any such spill should be removed from the decking material with water and mild household cleaners within
forty-eight (48) hours of exposure to the surface. 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 are not
covered under this warranty.
TWENTY-FIVE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY—FADE RESISTANCE
Warrantor will, at Warrantor’s sole discretion, replace or refund the appropriate prorated portion of the purchase price as set forth
below for any Deckorators CXT Railing product used in a residential deck 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.”
TWENTY-FIVE-YEAR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT WARRANTY
For the first twenty-five (25) years of this Warranty, Warrantor will provide reasonable and customary costs associated with
installing replacement products, including removal and disposal of defective products (“Replacement Costs”), provided that the
Deckorators CXT Railing products to be replaced are proven to be defective and were properly installed in strict accordance
with the installation instructions. Replacement Costs shall not include the cost of permits required or obtained in connection with
installing replacement products.
