Follow applicable state or local plumbing codes requiring specific and dimensioned waterproofed areas
for a shower system or other wet room installation. Requirements in wedi manuals supersede local
plumbing codes; they extend and are not in conflict. wedi Shower Systems or other wet room
installations in which non-wedi product is also used require specific project recommendations by wedi
and may reduce the extent and installation area of protection offered by wedi’s warranty.
WARRANTY COVERAGE. If, within the applicable warranty period, any Product does not meet wedi’s
published specifications because of a manufacturing defect, wedi will, at its discretion, take any of the
following actions: (i) repair or replace the Product; (ii) remove, repair, or replace any materials and/or
structures attached to or surrounding the installed Product that were damaged as a direct result of the
underlying Product’s manufacturing defect; (iii) refund the cost of the Product; and/or (iv) reimburse
Claimant (defined below) the costs to repair or replace the Product and other materials or structures
surrounding the installed Product, limited to the amount wedi determines, in its sole discretion, that are
reasonable and necessary before the repair/replacement commences and further limited to a contractor’s
labor costs, and not the amount a consumer may incur to engage a contractor for such services. Precise
duplicates of surface finish products, such as tile, may not be available, but where applicable, substantially
similar products may be used as a substitute. wedi’s maximum liability for claims arising after the first 10
year period in connection with the 15-year limited warranty and 20-year limited warranty shall not exceed
twenty thousand and 0/100 U.S. dollars ($20,000.00) per building into which the Products are installed.
No representative, dealer, or any other person is authorized to provide any warranty, representation,
condition, or promise on behalf of wedi with respect to the Products. No terms or conditions other than
those stated herein or provided by law, and no agreement or understanding, shall modify the wedi
Warranties, unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of wedi.
