TimberTech EDGE Decking Warranty

25-Year Limited Residential & 10-Year Limited Commercial Warranty

Statement of Warranty

This warranty is provided by The AZEK Company LLC ("Manufacturer") for TimberTech® EDGE™ alternative decking materials. It covers the original purchaser or the property owner at the time of installation. A "Residential Purchaser" is a single-family homeowner, while a "Commercial Purchaser" is any other buyer.

Manufacturer warrants that the Products will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials for a period of twenty-five (25) years for Residential Purchasers and ten (10) years for Commercial Purchasers, from the original purchase date. This coverage applies to defects occurring under normal use and service, and resulting in splitting, splintering, rotting, or structural damage from termites or fungal decay.

Exclusions from Warranty Coverage

This warranty does not cover failures or damages attributable to:

• Improper installation or failure to follow Manufacturer's installation guidelines (e.g., improper gapping).
• Use beyond normal use or in applications not recommended by guidelines or local building codes.
• Ground movement, distortion, collapse, or settling of the supporting structure.
• Acts of God (e.g., flooding, hurricane, earthquake, lightning) or environmental conditions (e.g., air pollution, mold, mildew).
• Staining from foreign substances like dirt or oil.
• Variations or changes in Product color.
• Normal weathering of surfaces.
• Improper handling, storage, abuse, or neglect by the Purchaser or third parties.
• Exposure to extreme heat sources, including reflected sunlight from low-emissivity (Low-E) glass, which may damage or fade the product.
• Fabrication or remanufacturing by third parties.
• Minor dripping from DrySpace systems.
• Fasteners not supplied by Manufacturer.
• Improper application of paint or other surface chemicals not recommended by Manufacturer.

Purchaser is solely responsible for determining the product's effectiveness, fitness, suitability, and safety for their specific application.

Obtaining Warranty Performance

If a defect is discovered within the warranty period, Purchaser must notify Manufacturer within thirty (30) days of discovery and no later than the end of the warranty period. Notification can be made via TimberTech's online warranty claim form process at http://TimberTech.com/warranty/warranty-claims-center or in writing to the Claims Department at TimberTech, 894 Prairie Avenue, Wilmington, Ohio 45177.

Claims must include proof of purchase and a statement explaining the defect. Manufacturer may request additional information. Upon validation, Manufacturer will, at its option, replace the defective Products or refund the portion of the purchase price paid for the defective Products (excluding installation costs).

Replacement materials will be as close as possible in color, design, and quality to the original, but exact matches cannot be guaranteed due to potential changes in colors and designs. The original warranty terms apply to repaired or replaced portions.

Prorated Recovery (Residential Claims Years 11-25)

For valid residential warranty claims made between years 11 and 25 after the original purchase date, recovery will be prorated:

Manufacturer may elect to replace a percentage of products or refund a percentage of the purchase price based on these rates.

Costs for removal of defective products or installation of replacement materials (including labor and freight) are not covered and are the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy.

Transfer of Warranty

This warranty may be transferred one (1) time within five (5) years of the original purchase date to a subsequent property buyer.

Limitations and Disclaimers

Except for the express written warranty provided, Manufacturer makes no other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. All other warranties are disclaimed.

Manufacturer's liabilities are limited to replacement or refund of the purchase price. Consequential, incidental, indirect, special, punitive, or other damages (including lost profits, lost sales, loss of goodwill, etc.) are expressly excluded, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, arising from breach of contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise, except where prohibited by law.

Some states/provinces may not allow these limitations, so exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. This warranty grants specific legal rights that may vary by location.

Miscellaneous

This document represents the complete agreement between parties, superseding prior agreements. It may only be amended in writing signed by Manufacturer and Purchaser. No agent or employee can make additional warranties. Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue or modify products without notice. If repair or replacement is not possible, Manufacturer may substitute a product of equal value.

This warranty is effective for purchases made on or after January 1, 2019.

25-Year Limited Fade and Stain Warranty

Statement of Warranty

This warranty is provided by The AZEK Company LLC ("Manufacturer") for TimberTech® EDGE™ Decking ("Product"). It covers the original residential purchaser or property owner at installation. This warranty is in addition to the standard 25-Year Limited Residential Warranty for EDGE Decking.

Manufacturer warrants that for twenty-five (25) years from the original consumer purchase date:

• The Product's color will not fade beyond a color change of more than 5 Delta E (CIE) units due to light and weathering exposure. While designed to resist fading, no material is fade-proof against prolonged UV and elemental exposure.
• The Product will resist permanent staining from food and beverage items (e.g., condiments, oils, tea, wine, coffee, sodas) if such substances are removed within one (1) week of exposure using soap and water or mild household cleaners.

Manufacturer does not warrant against staining from substances not properly cleaned within the specified timeframe. This warranty also excludes staining or damage from abrasive compounds, acidic or basic pH substances, paints, stains, strong solvents, metallic rust, abnormal deck use items, biocides, fungicides, plant foods, or other bactericides.

Obtaining Warranty Performance

To make a claim, Purchaser must follow specific procedures:

Claims Regarding Stain-Resistance

1. Attempt to clean the affected area within one (1) week of exposure using recommended cleaning procedures.
2. If the area remains unsatisfactory after step 1, have it professionally cleaned at Purchaser's expense.
3. If the area remains unsatisfactory after professional cleaning, a claim can be made within thirty (30) days of the professional cleaning completion.

All Claims

Purchaser must notify Manufacturer of a warranty claim no later than the end of the Term. This can be done via TimberTech's online warranty claim form process at http://TimberTech.com/warranty/warranty-claims-center or by sending information to the Claims Department at TimberTech, 894 Prairie Avenue, Wilmington, Ohio 45177.

Required documentation includes proof of purchase, a description and photographs of the affected area, and, for stain claims, reasonable proof of compliance with cleaning requirements.

Manufacturer reserves the right to request additional information.

Limitation of Remedies and Exclusion of Consequential and Incidental Damages

Manufacturer's liabilities are limited solely to the obligations undertaken herein. Manufacturer is not liable for any incidental, consequential, indirect, special, punitive, or other damages (including lost profits, lost sales, loss of goodwill, use of money, use of goods, stoppage of work, or impairment of assets), whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, arising out of breach of warranty, contract, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence, strict liability in tort, or otherwise, except as specifically precluded by applicable law.

Some states/provinces may not allow these limitations, so exclusions or limitations may not apply to you. This warranty grants specific legal rights that may vary by location.
