UFP-TREATED LIMITED WARRANTY

Original consumer purchasers or “first owners” of specific UFP-Treated products are eligible for this LIMITED WARRANTY. Subject to all of the

terms and conditions of this warranty, Universal Forest Products (“UFP or “Warrantor”) will, in UFP’s sole discretion, replace (product only) or

refund the original purchase price of UFP-Treated products produced by a licensed independently owned and operated treating facility used in,

or in conjunction with, residential or agricultural applications that structurally fail in service due to rot, fungal decay, or termite attack during the

warranty term.

“FIRST-OWNER” COVERAGE

To qualify for this warranty, you must be the owner-of-record of the property at the time UFP-Treated products were installed, or if the

UFP-Treated products were installed by a builder-contractor-owner, “first owner” means the owner-of-record first acquiring the property

from the builder-contractor-owner. The UFP-Treated Warranty is not transferable from the first-owner to subsequent owners of the property.

TO IDENTIFY A UFP-TREATED PRODUCT, LOOK FOR THE END TAG

It’s easy to identify warranted UFP-Treated products. Simply look for the end tag on each piece of UFP-Treated product and examine both sides.

Make sure you receive and retain all UFP-Treated product end tags, as well as the original purchase receipt(s) from your lumber dealer

or contractor/builder. In the event of a claim, it will be necessary to present this documentation for all materials claimed.

WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS

This limited warranty covers only UFP-Treated products from the date of purchase by the first-owner against “structural failure” caused by fungal

decay or termites. For purposes of this warranty, “structural failure” is defined as the inability of a given member to perform its intended function

due to rot, fungal decay, or termite attack. The terms “rot” and “fungal decay,” as used in this warranty, mean attack by wood destroying fungi

that disintegrate the wood cell walls, but exclude surface mold, mildew, and/or fungi associated with the “weathering” of wood. “Weathering” of

wood is not decay, fungal decay, or rot of any type or definition. The obligation of UFP under the terms of this warranty, in UFP’s sole discretion,

is limited to replacement or refund up to the original purchase price of UFP-Treated products.

DEFINITIONS

Ground Contact - Pressure treated wood products are deemed to be used in “Ground Contact” use when used in contact with soil, placed on/

over soil using a synthetic barrier or plastic material, or exposed to conditions that could simulate a ground contact exposure, or when used in

any other application for which the manufacturer, applicable warranty, or applicable building codes require the use of Ground Contact Products.

Above Ground – Pressure treated wood products are deemed to be in “Above Ground” use when used in an application for which the

manufacturer, applicable warranty, and applicable building codes do not require or recommend Ground Contact Products and the application

falls outside of the definition of Ground Contact Use.

Ground Contact Products – UFP-Treated products with an end tag that states “ground contact – general use.”

Above Ground Products – UFP-Treated products with an end tag that states “above ground use” or “interior use.”

Ground Contact – Critical Use Products – UFP-Treated products with an end tag that states “ground contact-critical use.”

WARRANTY PERIOD

Most UFP-Treated products carry a 1-year limited warranty, unless a longer limited warranty period is clearly stated on the end-tag.

Warrantor offers a 1-year Limited Warranty (or longer period if specified on the applicable end tag) against structural failure due to rot, fungal

decay, or termite damage, as defined herein, for the following products, subject to the specific exclusions set forth in this Warranty:
