-Systems Floor Profiles 5-Year Limited Warranty
COVERAGE AND CONDITIONS: Subject to the conditions and limitations as stated hereinafter, Schluter-Systems* warrants that Schluter
®
-Systems
Floor 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 Floor 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 Floor 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
flooring materials used in the installation. In such events, substantially similar materials may be substituted.

REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ARE DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES,
REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARISING BY STATUTE OR

HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE CONNECTED TO FAILURE OF THE PRODUCTS OR TILE ASSEMBLY OF WHICH THEY ARE
PART, NOR MISUSE OF THE PRODUCTS OR TILE ASSEMBLY, REGARDLESS OF ANY STRICT LIABILITY, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE OF
SCHLUTER-SYSTEMS, AND REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT OR TORT OR EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL OR OTHER), NOR FROM
ACTS OF WAR, TERRORISM, FAULTY AND NEGLIGENT PENETRATION OF THE SYSTEM, FIRES, EXPLOSIONS, ACTS OF GOD, INTENTIONAL
ACTS OF DESTRUCTION OR ANY LOSSES DUE TO STRUCTURAL FAILURE OR OTHER CAUSES UNRELATED TO THE PRODUCTS OR DELAYS,
OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTY EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED. THE REMEDIES CONTAINED HEREIN ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, SOME STATES AND PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW DISCLAIMERS OR OTHER RESTRICTIONS
OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TRANSFERABILITY: This Limited Warranty extends ONLY to the original end user (defined as original intended owner and user of the property/unit in
which the installation is incorporated - herein referred to as “Owner”) and is not transferable or assignable, unless approved in writing by the Technical
Director or an Officer of Schluter-Systems or otherwise prohibited by specific state or provincial law.
MODIFICATIONS TO WARRANTY: No changes or modification of any terms or conditions of this warranty are allowed unless authorized by written
agreement and signed by the Technical Director or an Officer of Schluter-Systems.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This warranty shall supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written warranties, agreements, or other such representations
made by or on behalf of Schluter-Systems relative to the Products or the application of the Products and shall apply to any installation occurring on or
after January 1, 2013.

notice within 30 days of any alleged defect in the Products covered by this Limited Warranty, together with date and proof of purchase of the Products,
proof of the costs of the original installation and name and address of all installers, failing which this Limited Warranty shall be of no legal effect.
