installed, the cost of labor for repair will be covered by this warranty.
Warranty Coverage: Upon determination of a valid manufacturing defect or finish wear through amounting to 100%,
credit will be issued to the dealer and will be good toward the purchase of a replacement. When defective product is
installed, credit applies to material only and does not include labor since it is the responsibility of the installer to determine
suitability of material prior to installation. Should a problem attributable as a manufacturing defect develops after flooring is
installed, the cost of labor for repair will be covered by this warranty.
The Limited Wear Warranty does not cover:
1.
Damage due to adhesives or tape, scratches, gouges, scuffs, punctures, cuts, indentations, burns, accidents, lack
of proper furniture rests or any intentional misuse of the product. Loss of finish gloss over time is consistent with
normal wear & tear and is not a product flaw.
The finish of the floor plank is warranted by Natural Floors/USFloors, Inc. not to wear through under normal use for
a period of fifty (50)
years from the date of purchase. Finish wear-through is defined as 100% finish removal over a
minimum of 3% of the
total installation. (Gloss reduction or surface scratches are not considered surface wear.) Dull finish
can be corrected with spot or overall recoating care systems. This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the
original purchaser.
