COVERAGE AND CONDITIONS: Subject to the conditions and limitations as stated hereinafter, Schluter
®
-Systems* warrants that Schluter
®
-Systems
Wall and Countertop Profiles (the “Products”)** will be free from manufacturing defects for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase and only when
the Products are used and installed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Schluter
®
-Systems Wall and Countertop Profiles Technical Data Sheet
and industry standard guidelines that are not in conflict with the data sheet in effect at the time of installation. It is the responsibility of the owner/builder/installer
to ensure the suitability of all building materials and all associated building materials for the owner’s intended use. Visual defects or nonconformities apparent
prior to installation are not covered by this warranty. Further, this warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or other damage (e.g., scratches, discoloration,
fading, etc.) caused by impacts or accidents. It is recommended that the owner consult an experienced and professional installer.
RESOLUTION: If the Products fail to meet this warranty, then 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. Tile assembly is defined to include all Schluter
®
-Systems Wall and Countertop Profiles, non-reusable tile surfaces,
and the appropriate setting and grouting materials. Further, 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 covering materials
used in the installation. In such events, substantially similar materials may be substituted.
