WARRANTY AND LIABILITY
1. Warranty against manufacturing defects:
SIMPLY BAMBOO warrants to the original purchaser that its bamboo plank and finish are free from manufacturing defects in material and workmanship at time of purchase.
2. Lifetime Structural Warranty
SIMPLY BAMBOO offers a lifetime guarantee against delamination to the original purchaser provided the planks are installed and maintained according to SIMPLY BAMBOO recommendations.
3. 25 year residential finish warranty
SIMPLY BAMBOO warrants, to the original purchaser, that the surface finish will not wear through or separate from the wood for a full twenty five years from the date of purchase. This warranty is effective provided the planks are used under normal residential traffic conditions and provided the planks are installed and maintained according to SIMPLY BAMBOO recommendations.
4. 5 year commercial finish warranty
SIMPLY BAMBOO warrants, to the original purchaser, that the surface finish will not wear through or separate from the wood for a full five years from the date of purchase. This warranty is effective provided the planks are used under light commercial traffic conditions and provided the planks are installed and maintained according to SIMPLY BAMBOO recommendations. Examples of light commercial traffic include schools/classrooms, retail stores, commercial offices, bars, and restaurants.
The warranty set forth above is made subject to the following conditions and exceptions:
It does not extend to or cover any damage, warping, cupping, discoloration or any other defect caused by accidents, alterations, misuse, abuse, and direct exposure to the elements or improper installation.
Recommended care and maintenance provided by SIMPLY BAMBOO must be adhered to and the flooring be used for its intended purpose. Exposure to extreme heat, dryness, moisture, water saturation (including routine wet mopping) and other sources of extreme moisture or extreme changes in moisture or temperature must be avoided. Alteration or repair that is not manufacturer authorized will void the warranty in its entirety.
Warranty excludes discoloration, scratches, impact damage or wear from heavy furniture or equipment used without proper protection to the floor. Warranty excludes indentations, scratches or surface damage caused by lack of proper maintenance, moisture, water erosion, negligence, spiked heel shoes, pebbles, sand and other such abrasives. Any damage or defects resulting from the settlement or movement of the structure to which the flooring is adhered to is excluded by warranty. Exposure to sunlight over time may bring about subtle changes in the color of the planks; these changes may vary in areas of the floor that receive direct and indirect sunlight. This is not a product defect.
If SIMPLY BAMBOO determines that a valid claim is made under this warranty, it will repair or replace, at its option, the affected flooring material. This warranty covers the repair or replacement of the affected material only, it does not cover any labor cost or any incidental costs or consequential damages and will be repaired or replaced within a commercially reasonably time period from the date that the claim is deemed valid by SIMPLY BAMBOO. If flooring product for which the claim is being made is no longer available, SIMPLY BAMBOO will replace affected flooring material with product of equal or greater value.
Any claims under this warranty must be made in writing, within 30 days after it has been detected or should have been detected, and mailed to the following address:

SIMPLY BAMBOO reserves the right to have a designated SIMPLY BAMBOO representative inspect the floor and remove samples for evaluation of the claim.
