WARRANTY:

1. Limited Warranty. Harvest Timber Co. warrants to the original purchaser of prefinished Pioneered Wood flooring that ninety percent (90%) of the factory-applied coating, under normal residential conditions, will not wear through to the wood or separate from the wood for fifteen years from the date of installation. If ten-percent (10%) or more of the finish wears through or separates from the wood, Harvest Timber Co. agrees to refinish or repair the floor. Customer’s right to have the coating replaced or repaired is the sole and exclusive responsibility of the customer upon breach of this limited warranty. This limited warranty is not transferable.

Wood is a product of nature and naturally occurring variations and characteristics such as grain, color, mineral streaks and knots are not breaches of Harvest Timber Co.’s limited warranty. Flooring is susceptible to fading and color change due to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Sun fade, color change, scratches, gouges, indentations, misuse, damage caused by lack of proper care, insufficient protection under furniture, other abrasives, spiked heel shoes, pets, insects, and damage due to water or moisture are not covered by Harvest Timber Co.’s limited warranty.

2. Negation of Implied Warranties. Except as provided in section 1 above, there are no express or implied warranties including, but not limited to, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for particular purpose or correct installation.

3. Installation. Harvest Timber Co. makes no warranties regarding installation of any flooring product. It is the responsibility of the installer or homeowner to inspect boards prior to installation. Flooring pieces that are obviously damaged or otherwise unsuitable should not be installed. Industry standards allow for up to ten percent (10%) for defective boards that must be cut but cannot be used for the job or installation. No installer, retailer or agent has the authority to alter the obligations or limitations of this limited warranty.

4. Limitation of Damages. In no event shall Harvest Timber Co. be liable to customer or to any other person for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of or related to the performance of products produced by Harvest Timber Co. or the breach hereof, even if Harvest Timber Co. has been advised of the possibility thereof, including but not limited to, damages resulting from or related to any failure of the product involved or the coating applied to the product.

5. Warranty Disclaimers and Exclusions. Variations in flooring are a natural occurrence, therefore flooring may not match display samples or other wood products such as cabinets, trim and mouldings. Gloss reduction is not considered surface wear. Damage from water and/or moisture from any source or condition is excluded from warranty coverage. Variations in wood grain, color, streaks and knots are not considered defects. Normal exposure to sunlight will change coloring in wood floors. Area rugs should be moved occasionally as they block sunlight and may create a “shadow” effect on the flooring; this is not a product defect. Installation must be performed in accordance with National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) instructions.
