-SHELF 5-Year Limited Warranty
LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE: Subject to the conditions and limitations as stated in this Schluter
®
-SHELF 5-Year Limited Warranty
(the “Limited Warranty”), Schluter Systems warrants that its Schluter
®
-SHELF (the “Products”) will be free from manufacturing defects
and will perform as described in the Schluter
®
-Shower System Installation Handbook, Schluter
®
-Shower System Technical Data Sheet, and
Schluter
®
-SHELF Installation Instructions (collectively, the “Written Materials” ) for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase when
installed and used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Written Materials and industry standard guidelines that are not in conflict
with the Written Materials in effect at the time of installation.
For the purposes of this Limited Warranty, “Owner” is defined as the original end user of the property in which the Products are installed; and
“Tile Assembly” is defined to include the Products, non-reusable tile surfaces, and applicable setting and grouting materials.
This Limited Warranty is only applicable to installations in the United States of America and Canada. Schluter Systems is not responsible or
liable under any circumstances for determining the suitability of the Products for the Owner’s intended purpose. It is the responsibility of the
Owner to consult with an experienced and professional installer to ensure the suitability of the Products, subfloor/substrate and all building
materials in the installation and that the Written Materials are followed properly.
RESOLUTION: If the Products are installed and used in accordance with the terms and conditions as described hereinabove and such
Products are proven defective within the applicable warranty term, the Owner’s exclusive remedy and the sole obligation of Schluter Systems,
at its election, shall be to (a) reinstall or replace the failed portion of the Tile Assembly or (b) pay an amount not to exceed the original square
foot cost of the installation of the Tile Assembly verified to be defective. Due to conditions beyond the control of Schluter Systems (e.g., color
and shade availability, discontinuation, normal wear and tear), Schluter Systems cannot guarantee or warrant an exact match to the specific
tile, stone, or other tiling materials used in the original installation. In such event, substantially similar materials may be substituted.
EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE: This Limited Warranty excludes and in no event shall Schluter Systems have any liability for any indirect,
special, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, including lost profits, arising out of or otherwise connected to the failure
of the Products or Tile Assembly, regardless of any strict liability or active or passive negligence of Schluter Systems, and regardless of legal
theory, whether in contract, tort, extra-contractual or other. This Limited Warranty further excludes any loss or damage arising out of or
otherwise connected to: acts of war, terrorism, fire, explosion, natural disaster, acts of God, any failure to comply with the Written Materials,
inadequate subfloor/substrate, improper preparation or other failure of subfloor/substrate, faulty or negligent penetration of the Products
or subfloor/substrate, intentional acts of destruction, structural failure, misuse of or failure to maintain the Products, normal wear and tear,
scratches, dents, corrosion or discoloration (whether caused by excessive heat, chemical cleaning products, abrasive agents or otherwise),
efflorescence and shading which are a natural occurrence with cementitious materials and are not considered a defective condition for
the purposes of this Limited Warranty, variations of texture, color or shade from those on product samples, packaging materials or other
marketing materials, or other causes unrelated to the Products (e.g. excess point loading, overvoltage). This Limited Warranty excludes
exterior applications, unless specifically approved in writing on a case by case basis by the Schluter Systems Technical Services Director.
This Limited Warranty is conditioned and will be considered null and void and Schluter Systems will have the right to refuse any claims if: (a)
the Products have been improperly stored or installed, or (b) the Products are subject to abusive or abnormal use, lack of maintenance, or
used in a manner other than that for which the Products were designed or in any way contrary to the Written Materials.
DISCLAIMER: There are no warranties beyond this expressed warranty as stated herein. To the extent permitted by law, all other warranties,
representations or conditions, expressed or implied, are hereby disclaimed and excluded, including but not limited to the implied warranties
of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE (as limited to such purposes as described in the Written Materials)
or arising from a course of dealing, usage of trade or otherwise by law. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW ARE
LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. NO REPRESENTATION, PROMISE, AFFIRMATION OR STATEMENT
BY ANY EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF SCHLUTER SYSTEMS WILL BE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST SCHLUTER SYSTEMS UNLESS IT IS
SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR AUTHORIZED IN WRITING BY THE SCHLUTER SYSTEMS TECHNICAL
SERVICES DIRECTOR. This Limited Warranty is given in lieu of any other warranty, whether expressed or implied. The remedies contained
herein are the only remedies available for breach of this Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty extends only to the Owner and is not
transferable or assignable unless authorized by written agreement and signed by the Schluter Systems Technical Services Director or otherwise
prohibited by specific state or provincial law. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights; some states and provinces do not allow
