Procedure for Making a Claim under this Warranty
In order to make a claim under this warranty, Purchaser must do the following:
1. If the Purchaser is making a claim relating to the warranty on stain resistance, Purchaser must do as follows:
(a) Purchaser must try to clean the affected area of the deck by using the cleaning procedures described under Care and
Cleaning Guide within one (1) week of exposure of the food or beverage to the Product or first appearance of the mold
and mildew.
(b) If the affected area remains reasonably unsatisfactory after Purchaser has tried these cleaning procedures, then
Purchaser must have the affected area of the deck professionally cleaned at Purchaser’s expense.
(c) If the affected area remains reasonably unsatisfactory after the professional cleaning, Purchaser may make a claim
under this warranty, provided that such claim is made within thirty (30) days after the professional cleaning.
2. To make a claim under this limited warranty, Purchaser, or the transferee, shall send to Trex, within the warranty period
(10 years after date of original purchase), a description and photographs of the affected area of the Product, proof of
purchase, and if the claim relates to the warranty on stain resistance, proof of compliance with paragraph 1 above, to the
following address:
Trex Company, Inc.
Customer Relations

3. Upon confirmation by an authorized Trex representative of a valid claim hereunder, Trex’s sole responsibility shall be, at
its option, to either replace the affected item or refund the portion of the purchase price paid by Purchaser for such
affected item (not including the cost of its initial installation). Replacement material will be provided that is as close as
possible in color, design and quality as the replaced material, but Trex does not guarantee an exact match as colors and
design may change.
4. This warranty shall not cover and Trex shall not be responsible for costs and expenses incurred with respect to
the removal of affected Product or the installation of replacement materials, including but not limited to labor
and freight.
Under no circumstances will Trex be liable for special, incidental or consequential damages, whether such damages
are sought in contract, in tort (including but not limited to negligence and strict liability) or otherwise, and Trex’s
liability with respect to Products shall in no event exceed the replacement of such products or
refund of the purchase price, as described above.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary
from state to state.
This warranty shall only be applicable and enforceable in the United States of America and Canada.
