Material Warranties
Materials are covered by their own warranty terms, which vary by material type. Expand each section for the full terms.
Lumber›
This warranty does not cover costs of installation, removal, or reinstallation of the natural characteristics of wood to have raised grain, split, warp, shrink, swell, or twist, or damage caused by physical abuse, acts of God, acts of war, or other chemical or biological factors. Warrantor's sole obligation in Warrantor's sole discretion is limited to replacement of the product or a monetary refund up to the original purchase price of the wood, and warrantor shall have no further liability or obligation except as expressly stated herein. Warrantor shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, consequential, exemplary, or other damages of any kind whatsoever, whether any such claim is based upon theories of contract, warranty, negligence, tort, strict liability or otherwise.
The Warranty does not apply to any of the following uses: foundation piles, poles, supports in pole-frame structures, swimming pool sidewalls, tree, vine, or plant supports, use in commercial or industrial projects or any applications involving immersion of the product in water or any specialty items that have been milled after treatment. Discoloration from stains, such as metallic rust and other corrosive compounds are excluded from coverage under this warranty. This warranty specifically excludes any color variations due to changes in color and/or appearance on any and all walking surfaces, seating surfaces, climbing surfaces, or other wearing surfaces. This shall include, but not be limited to, color variations or wear due to repeated foot and hand traffic. This warranty does not cover corrosion of fasteners, hardware, or any other material(s) or any damage resulting from such an occurrence and it excludes any mold growth on branded wood. Always follow the guidelines stated in the applicable Safe Handling Information Sheet/Section when working with or handling this product. Warrantor and its representative(s) reserve the right to investigate any claim and to inspect the materials on which a claim is made prior to its removal from services.
The term "Significant Color Changes" as used in this warranty shall mean significant changes in the original color of the product that are not due to fading or other changes due to the natural characteristics of the wood itself. Significant color changes does not mean natural color variations due to exposure to sunlight, saltwater, and other weather conditions. Color variation within our acceptable range and change in color due to exposure to sunlight, saltwater and other weather conditions shall not be deemed significant color changes and such product is not covered by this warranty. Natural color variations are to be expected as they evidence the character of a natural wood product. Such natural variations reveal the color variation between different species of wood and the individual characteristics of the board or rail similar to the way heartwood, knots, or sapwood will impact the product color. Significant color changes shall not mean attack by wood-destroying fungi that disintegrate the wood cell walls. Color changes associated with surface mold, and mildew are not included in the definition of significant color changes and are not covered under this warranty. Other changes in appearance caused by the natural weathering of wood, including but not limited to, raised grain, splitting, checking, twisting, warping, shrinkage, swelling or any other physical property of wood, are not covered under this warranty.
