SHOWER SYSTEM

Schluter
®
-Shower System 10-Year Limited Warranty
COVERAGE AND CONDITIONS: Subject to the conditions and limitations as stated hereinafter, Schluter-Systems* warrants that the
Schluter
®
-Shower System (the “Products”)** will meet all composition and performance criteria for a period of ten (10) years from the date of purchase
only when the Products are used and installed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Schluter
®
-Shower System Installation Handbook and
industry standard guidelines that are not in conflict with the Handbook in effect at the time of installation. Further, efflorescence is considered to be a
natural occurrence with cementitious materials and is therefore not considered to be a defective condition and is not covered by this warranty. 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. It is recommended that the owner consult with 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
®
-KERDI products, 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.
DISCLAIMER: THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES BEYOND THIS EXPRESSED WARRANTY AS STATED ABOVE. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
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
OTHERWISE BY LAW OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. SCHLUTER-SYSTEMS EXCLUDES AND IN NO EVENT SHALL
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, NOR MISUSE OF THE PRODUCTS OR
FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN THE SHOWER OR BATHTUB SURROUND. 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 DISCLAIMERS 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.
CLAIMS ON THIS LIMITED WARRANTY: To make a claim under this Limited Warranty, the Owner must provide Schluter-Systems with written
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.
Schluter-Systems reserves the right at its election and as a condition of this Limited Warranty to inspect the alleged failed and defective condition.
