Damages.
In no event will Fiberon be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, exemplary, statutory,
special, or other, damages based upon the Fiberon Products or Fiberon Fasteners or resulting, directly or indirectly, from any
defect in the Fiberon Products or Fiberon Fasteners, including but not limited to damage to, diminution in value of and/or loss
of use or enjoyment of, any property or part thereof, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability, statute, regulation or
otherwise, even if Fiberon is expressly advised about the possibility of such damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages in certain circumstances, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
In addition, this Limited Warranty does not cover and Fiberon shall not be liable for any installation, removal or reinstallation
costs. Fiberon does not warrant against and is not responsible for, and no express or implied warranty shall be deemed to
cover, any condition attributable to: (1) improper installation of Fiberon products and/or failure to abide by Fiberon’s written
instructions and any applicable laws or building codes, including but not limited to improper structural support, fastening,
ventilation or gapping; (2) use of Fiberon Products beyond normal use or in an application not recommended or permitted by
Fiberon’s written instructions and applicable laws and building codes; (3) movement, distortion, collapse or settling of the
ground or the supporting structure on which Fiberon Products are installed; (4) Defects in or failure arising from decking
structure resulting from water caused by improper installation, workmanship, maintenance or repair; (5) any Act of God
(including but not limited to flooding, hurricane, tornado, wind, earthquake, lightning, hail, etc.); (6) discoloration, fading,
spotting or staining from or caused, in whole or in part, by mold, mildew, other fungal growth, organic materials, metallic oxides
or particles (including but not limited to rust or corrosion of any fasteners), dirt, other atmospheric or environmental pollutants,
foreign substances such as grease or oil, chemicals (including but not limited to those found in cleaners), or normal weathering
(defined as natural efflorescence, exposure to sunlight, weather and atmospheric conditions which causes any colored surface
to gradually fade, flake, chalk, or accumulate dirt or stains); (7) damage resulting from casualty, fire or exposure to heat
sources such as cooking devices or retro-reflective surfaces; (8) the application of paints, stains, surface treatments or other
chemical substances including but not limited to cleaners or pesticides; (9) fading, flaking or other deterioration of any paints,
stains or other coatings placed on the Fiberon Products; (10) climate change, environmental conditions, or any cause beyond
the control of Fiberon; (11) variations or changes in color of Fiberon Products; (12) improper handling, maintenance, storage,
abuse or neglect of Fiberon Products by Purchaser or others; (13) ordinary wear and tear; (14) impact from objects; or (15)
any fasteners not supplied or approved by Fiberon.
No warranty is given with respect to any fasteners other than the Fiberon Fasteners; such other fasteners, whether approved
fasteners or otherwise, are subject to only the warranties provided by the manufacturer of the fastener and Purchaser’s sole
warranty and remedy is with that manufacturer.
c. Additional Terms and Limitations.
The suitability of the Fiberon Products for Purchaser’s property for the installation and use of the Fiberon Products, including
but not limited to whether the Fiberon Product meets the requirements of any applicable building or safety code or similar
regulation relating to Purchaser’s property, is the responsibility of the Purchaser and/or its design professionals, and not that of
Fiberon. Fiberon does not provide architectural or engineering services. Fiberon makes no express or implied warranty or
representation as to the suitability of the Fiberon Products for, or actual performance, capabilities or operation of the Fiberon
Products at, Purchaser’s property or under the conditions of Purchaser’s use.
Without limitation on any other provision of this Limited Warranty, all warranties, whether express or implied, and including this
Limited Warranty, are void if any one or more of the following applies or occurs: (i) the Fiberon Product or Fiberon Fastener is
not installed, maintained and/or used strictly in accordance with Fiberon’s written instructions, and all applicable laws, codes
and regulations; (ii) misuse of the product, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable; (iii) failure of proper and timely maintenance
or repair; (iv) failure to provide timely notice to Fiberon of any failure or defect of the Fiberon Product or Fiberon Fastener; or
(v) use of fasteners other than the Fiberon branded fasteners or approved hidden fasteners listed on www.fiberondecking.com
to the extent that the Fiberon Product failures resulted from the use of non-approved fasteners.
