EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS No warranty coverage is provided for flooring with visual or obvious defects of any kind after the material is installed. Visual defects or obvious defects must be immediately reported to the Millstone Wood Flooring distributor for replacement of the defective material. These warranties do not cover damages or defects of any kind caused by accident, negligence, or misuse of product including but not limited to indentations, scratches, grit, sand, spike heels, fire, flooding, standing water, pets, furniture, and appliances. Stains or defects caused by accidental liquid dropping or the use of wax or oil soaps for cleaning are not covered by these warranties. Since wood is a natural product, minor variations between the samples and the installed floor are notconsidered a defect and it is not covered by these warranties.

Problems caused by failure to evaluate the jobsite and jobsite conditions are not covered by these warranties. Wood is a natural product and will continue to expand and contract during the seasons. Some minor separation between flooring boards might occur. This is considered normal and is not covered by these warranties. Color change may occur from exposure to UV light; normal exposure to sunlight will cause changes in the shade or color of any flooring and is not considered defect. Millstone Wood Flooring recommends occasionally removing area rugs, as they block sunlight and may give the appearance of discoloration under the rug. The obligation and liability of Millstone Wood Flooring is to replace or repair the defective material in excess of 5% (industry standard) of the original purchased volume. The coverage of these warranties is limited to the original purchaser only. |
