Congratulations! Thank you for purchasing products from Barrette Outdoor Living, Inc. (“Barrette”). This limited warranty covers capped composite decking, fascia and riser boards and hidden fastening systems components, collectively “Product”. While many factors can affect how long your decking products will last, this Limited Warranty covers your Product in the unlikely event that any component contains a manufacturing defect. Who is covered: • The limited warranty is given to the original purchaser, residential or commercial as the case may be, for a period of twenty-Five years (25) for residential purchasers and ten (10) years for commercial customers, collectively referred to as the “Warranty Period”. • For the purposes of this limited warranty, a “residential purchaser” shall refer to an individual residential homeowner using the property where installed for their personal, family and household use. A “commercial purchaser shall refer to any purchaser other than a residential purchaser, including buildings or property owned by corporations, governmental agencies, homeowner associations, cooperative housing arrangements and apartment buildings. • This limited warranty may be transferred one time by the residential purchaser only within the Warranty Period. The second residential owner must notify Barrette in writing within 60 days after the property transfer in order to qualify for the remaining term of the original 25-year limited warranty coverage. (Other than this one transfer, this warranty may not be transferred or assigned, directly or indirectly.) The ten (10) year limited warranty for commercial purchasers cannot be transferred. What Is Covered By This Limited Warranty: 1. Product Performance Barrette warrants that your Product will remain free from manufacturing defects that adversely affect its performance during the warranty term and shall not split, splinter, or suffer structural damage from termites. 2. Stain Barrette warrants that your Product, will resist permanent staining from customary food and beverage items, including wine, tea, coffee, fruit punch, sodas, ketchup, salad oils, barbecue sauces, mustard and other food or beverage related items that would typically be present on a residential deck, provided that such substances are removed from the Product with soap and water or mild household cleaners (excluding bleach) after no more than one (1) week of exposure of the substances to the product surface. Barrette does not warrant Products as stain-proof, and does not warrant stain resistance resulting from spilled or otherwise applied food and beverage substances which are not properly cleaned as provided above within one (1) week of exposure or from other non-food or beverage substances. 3. Fade Barrette warrants that your Product will resist color change from light and weathering exposure as measured by color change in excess of 5 Delta E (CIE) during the warranty term. Barrette products are designed to be fade resistant, but not fade proof, and color changes that are equal to or less than 5 Delta E (CIE) are not covered by this warranty. 4. Replacement Labour For the first Two (2) years of this Warranty, deck / dock / fascia boards that have been properly installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and are determined (by the manufacturer, whose determination shall be conclusive) as a manufacturing defect due to a breach of the Warranty in paragraph 1 (“Product Performance”) above, the deck owner will be provided with a square foot decking replacement labor allowance of $4.00 (CAD) per square foot as its sole and exclusive remedy. Disposal of materials and the cost of permits required or obtained in connection with installing replacement products, as well as all other costs and expenses, are excluded.
