Warranty Guide

Pub. No. 10012503-A. Printed in U.S.A. May 2016. ©2016 Boral Stone Products LLC.
Thank you for your recent purchase of Boral Versetta Stone
®
panelized,
manufactured stone veneer products (“Product(s)”). This express limited
warranty (“Warranty”) only covers Boral Versetta Stone
®
panelized,
manufactured stone veneer products manufactured by Boral Stone Products
LLC (“Boral”).
Subject to the following terms, Boral warrants its Products for fty (50)
years to the original consumer purchaser (the “Purchaser”) (based upon
the date of retail purchase, date of substantial completion of the installation
if professionally installed, or date of settlement of the purchase of a newly
constructed building, whichever is applicable). This Warranty is personal
to you; however, the Warranty may be transferred to any subsequent
purchaser(s) of your home or building during the rst fteen (15) years after
the original purchase date (as described above), but the warranty period as
to such subsequent owners is limited to fteen (15) years from the original
purchase date (as described above).
Boral, subject to the conditions and limitations listed herein, warrants its
Products to be manufactured to substantially exhibit the physical properties
at time of manufacture that are described on the Boral Versetta Stone
®
data
sheet as found on our website at www.versettastone.com.
We do not cover damage to the Product due to any cause not expressly
covered herein. This Warranty does not cover any problems with
non-defective material caused by conditions or handling beyond our control.
Some examples of conditions not covered by this Warranty include:
1. Improper application, use of accessories which do not properly receive
and/or secure our Products, or installation not in strict adherence to the
applicable installation instructions or installation not in accordance with
local building code requirements.
2. Damage resulting from accident, misuse, neglect, casualty, re, vandalism,
plant growth, impact of foreign objects, salt or de-Icing chemicals,
excessive exposure to water due to things such as standing water, water
backups, improper ashing, leaks, seepage or irrigation systems, failure of
or damage to the wall substrate on which the Product was applied caused
by movement, distortion, cracking, or settling of such wall or the foundation
of the building, surface discoloration due to airborne stains, pollutants,
algae, fungi, lichens or cyanobacteria, moss and mold growth, exposure
to harmful chemicals, external heat sources (including, but not limited to, a
barbecue grill, re, or reection from windows and doors), acts of God, or
other such occurrences beyond the control of Boral;
3. Material that has been painted, varnished, sealed with non-breathable
sealer, or similarly coated over the manufacturer’s original nish; and
4. The use of sandblasting, power washing, silicone treatments, or any other
form of chemical wash.
Products shall not be in breach of this Warranty if they contain or exhibit (i) minor
chipping, as dened under ASTM C1364, Section 8.2; or (ii) minor cracks, as
dened under ASTM C 90-05, Section 7.2.1, incidental to the usual methods or
materials of manufacture or minor chipping resulting from customary methods of
handling in shipment and delivery which do not affect the proper placement of the
unit or signicantly impair the strength or permanence of the construction.
Products are not warranted against discoloration caused by air pollution, exposure
to harmful chemicals, or “normal weathering” resulting from exposure to the
elements. “Normal weathering” is dened as the damaging effects of sunlight
and extremes of weather and atmosphere that may cause any colored surface to
oxidize, fade, or become soiled or stained over time.
Boral strives to accurately reproduce the colors of its masonry stone veneer
Products in its marketing literature and sample boards. The Product colors that you
see are as accurate as technology allows. Boral makes no warranty with respect
to any real or perceived color differences between those depicted in its marketing
literature and sample boards and those of the actual Products that will be installed
on or within the home or building. Boral recommends that you look at actual
Product samples before making a color selection for your home or building.
To make a claim under this Warranty, you shall notify Boral of the claim promptly
following its discovery and you shall submit with such notication proof date of the
purchase and/or installation, and proof of property ownership, in order to provide
Boral an opportunity to investigate the claim and examine the material claimed to
be defective.
As a result of our ongoing efforts to improve and enhance our product line, we
reserve the right to discontinue or modify our Products, including their colors,
without notice to you and we shall not be liable to you as a result of such
discontinuance or modication. We are not liable to you if you make a warranty
claim in the future and any replacement Products you receive vary in color or
nish because of normal weathering or changes in our product line. You should
understand that if we replace any Products under this Warranty, we reserve the
right to provide you with substitute Products that are comparable only in quality
and price to your original Products.
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, BORAL MAKES NO EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT SOLD.
ORAL STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE PRODUCT(S) COVERED BY
THIS WARRANTY, OR STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN BORAL’S GENERAL
ADVERTISING, PAMPHLETS OR OTHER PRINTED MATERIALS DO NOT
CONSTITUTE WARRANTIES, AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT HAS NO RIGHT TO RELY UPON SAME. BORAL, WHETHER AS
A MANUFACTURER OR CARRIER, SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
COMMERCIAL LOSSES, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE
OR EXPENSE ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SALE
OF PRODUCT. BORAL’S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF
THE PARTICULAR ORDER, LOT OR SHIPMENT (OR THE ORIGINAL
PURCHASE PRICE OF THAT PORTION THEREOF WHICH IS NOT
REPAIRED OR REPLACED) WITH RESPECT TO WHICH A CLAIM IS
ASSERTED. IN PARTICULAR, BORAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
LOSS OF SALES, REVENUES OR PROFITS OR CLAIMS OF ANY THIRD
PARTIES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
so the above limitations may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation on incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specic
legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state. If the laws of a particular state require terms other than or in addition
to those contained in this Warranty, this Warranty shall be deemed modied
so as to comply with the appropriate laws of such state, but only to the
extent necessary to prevent the invalidity of this Warranty or any provision
of this Warranty or to prevent the imposition of any nes, penalties or any
liability.

Coverage Period. During the warranty period, if the Products are not in
conformance with our Warranty, Boral will, in its sole discretion, either (i) repair or
replace the nonconforming Products, or (ii) refund the price paid for
the Products,
all in accordance with the provisions stated below. Labor costs for removal or
installation are not covered. Any Products repaired or replaced hereunder will
continue to be covered under the terms of this Warranty for the remainder of the
applicable warranty period.
Prorated Period. During the warranty coverage period, we will take into account
the number of months of use you and your predecessor have enjoyed the
Products through the date of your claim, and reduce the amount of our payment
to you accordingly. That is, we will prorate the amount of your payment through
the date of your claim. For example: if you are the purchaser, you have a 50-year
warranty (600 months). If you make your claim in the last month of the 20th year
of the warranty (i.e., the 240th month), we will not cover labor but will pay you,
at our sole discretion, either (i) 360/600ths of the price paid for the Product or
(ii) 360/600ths of the reasonable material cost to repair or replace the Product.
The prorated period will change based on the remaining warranty duration if the
Purchaser transfers the Warranty to a subsequent owner as described above.
Exceptions. At all times, Boral’s obligation to pay for repair or replacement of the
defective product is subject to certain limitations. Specically, all material costs
must be pre-approved by Boral and Boral retains the right to provide materials
in lieu of compensation. Additionally, Boral will not pay for any accessories or
related work.
