Limited Warranty
A
ttention! Without a documented measurement of residual moisture content, a claim against the manufacturer for damages cannot be
considered. Moisture content of wood subfloor must be less than 14%. Concrete subfloors must always be covered with a 6 mil vapor
barrier even if linoleum, PVC or resilient vinyl is firmly attached to the concrete.
Limited Residential Warranty
This Limited Warranty is made by Manufacturer and is limited to Manufacturer’s Laminate Flooring. Manufacturer warrants to the original
purchaser that the surface wear layer on Manufacturer Laminate Flooring shall not show wear-through, staining or fading due to sun or
artificial light for a period indicated on the carton from the original date of purchase when used under normal conditions in a dry, indoor,
residential setting. The surface wear must be readily visible from a distance of 6 feet, measuring at least 1 square inch. Wear-through at the
edges of Manufacturer Laminate Flooring is excluded from the warranty. Gloss fading is not wear-through. Manufacturer Laminate Flooring
must be installed following the recommended installation instructions and with accessories that have been approved by Manufacturer. All
Manufacturer Laminate Flooring panels must be inspected for possible, recognizable defects before and during the installation as any right
to claim under warranty becomes invalid after panels with visible defects have been installed. This warranty applies only to the original
purchaser of Manufacturer Laminate Flooring and is not transferable. Warranty claims can only be accepted if the goods were delivered by
the dealer in the original packaging. The warranty does not apply if Manufacturer Laminate Flooring has not been cleaned, maintained or
cared for according to the cleaning and care instructions provided by Manufacturer. This Manufacturer warranty does not cover surface wear
or damage caused by abusive conditions; misuse of the product; freight damage; modification, alteration, repair or service of the product by
anyone other than the authorized Manufacturer representative; accidents such as, but not limited to, damage caused by scratching, severe
impact, cutting, negligence, fire, flooding. This warranty is of diminishing value: It takes account of loss of value resulting from use. In the
event of a claim meeting the conditions of the Manufacturer Limited Residential Warranty, Manufacturer will provide the dealer with materials
free of charge to replace the defective Manufacturer Laminate Flooring panels. Manufacturer will also pay reasonable labor costs to repair or
replace the defective materials if a claim occurs and if the floor was professionally installed. If the product for which a claim is made is no
longer available, the customer shall be able to choose from Manufacturer’s current product range of equal value. Manufacturer warrants
repaired or replaced products for the remainder of the original warranty period only. The above are the consumers' sole and exclusive remedies
for claims under this warranty. Manufacturer reserves the right to inspect the installed laminate flooring panels and to remove samples if
needed for analysis. To make a claim under this warranty, contact your Manufacturer Laminate Flooring dealer within 30 days following the
date of discovery or detection of wear-through, fade or staining. An original proof of purchase (including the date of purchase) must be
presented when requesting warranty service.
This warranty, dated 3/01/2012, supersedes all Manufacturer warranties previously issued.

Manufacturer shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages. Any damage that occurs during shipping
is the responsibility of the shipping company. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or have limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. The applicable

the entire agreement of Manufacturer with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous
agreements and communications regarding such subject matter, whether oral or written. No modification, amendment, waiver or
