3. Warranty Exclusions
This Limited Warranty does not apply to nor cover
nonconformities that are caused by, result from or arise in
connection with any of the following conditions:
• Non-Compliance with applicable Product
requirements and technical data. Any Product that has
been subjected to site conditions, substrate conditions,
installation methods, maintenance procedures and/
or conditions of use that are not in strict conformity
with the associated Technical Data Sheets, Installation
Instructions, Maintenance Documents and any other
relevant technical documents.
• Non-Compliance with applicable industry guidelines.
Substrate preparation must be performed in
accordance with all related ACI, ASTM, NWFA and RFCI
guidelines.
• Installation of Product with any unapproved
adhesive(s). The use of unapproved adhesives
excludes any adhesive warranty coverage for adhesive
performance issues, including but not limited to bond
strength, shrinkage, expansion, peaking, ledging,
curling, doming and/or the ability of the adhesive to
control the dimensional stability of the oor covering.
This also excludes all associated material and labor
costs.
• Installation of Product with unapproved installation
materials, methods or tools, including but not limited to
the recommended underlayment type, repair products
and all accessories.
• Cracking, warping, delamination, curling, or other
phenomena caused by excessive heat sources, such
as prolonged direct sunlight, radiators, self-cleaning
ovens and high-heat equipment.
• Fading or discoloration of the surface due to excessive
UV/IR exposure.
• Stains from tracked carpet dyes, fertilizers, coal, tar,
driveway sealers, oil, permanent markers, or other
such contaminates.
• Substrate failure, movement or imperfections, including
improper atness, smoothness or damage.
• Hazing or nish-related issues caused by the grout and
or residue when used with the Product.
• Heavy static loads (>1,500 lbs.) and heavy point loads,
such as foot trac with stiletto heels, spikes or skates,
dropped items, improper oor protectors and furniture
feet/rests or oor protection and furniture feet/rests
that do not make adequate at contact with the oor
covering.
• Heavy rolling loads (> 1,500 PSI) with metal wheels,
hard H-type wheels or any other wheel types that do
not make adequate, at contact with the oor covering.
• Damage caused by mechanical issues, intentional
abuse, misuse, negligence, structural damage, seismic
activity, ooding, res, and other emergencies, natural
disasters or any circumstances beyond the reasonable
control of the Seller.
• Damage or excessive wear caused by improper
maintenance dirt, grit, and abrasive debris from
not using appropriate walk-o mats at all outdoor
entrances.
• Any resulting health issues or property damage
resulting from organic growth resulting from any
type of water trapped beneath the oor covering and
the latent organic material found within it, which may
sponsor organic growth, such as mold, mildew, and
fungi.
• Normal shade, color, gloss/sheen, or embossing
texture variation, including variations between installed
ooring and physical ooring samples or printed
marketing materials.
• Excessive moisture and alkalinity from the suboor or
substrate.
• Excessive topical water caused by broken or leaking
plumbing, structural leaks, sink overow, ooding,
weather conditions and other water emergencies.
• Installations removed or replaced prior to inspection by
an authorized Novalis representative.
4. Slip Resistance Warning
Walking is an enormously complex activity involving many
muscles, bones and nerves, as well as kinesthetic sensory
information. There are several signicant factors that
directly aect slip resistance properties, such as the type,
texture and surface structure of oor covering, surface
contaminates, type of shoe soles and the walker’s weight,
age, gait, tness level, awareness, and vision. There are
no published requirements or acceptable limits for Static
Coecient of Friction (SCOF) or Dynamic Coecient
of Friction (DCOF) values within the resilient ooring
industry, though there may be for other ooring types.
While independent test results are available, that does not
purport to address any safety concerns of slip resistance,
the accuracy of all test methods, safety thresholds, or the
measuring apparatus’ (tribometers). This includes factors
outside of the reasonable control of the Manufacturer,
such as Product maintenance. No warranty for any slip
resistance properties can be provided.
Note: Walking on any vinyl oor covering in socks or similar
is not recommended, especially on stairs.
