TAVY Enterprises, LLC (“Manufacturer”) warrants that its Thin-Skin Underlayment and Thin-Skin #007 Glue (“Products”) are free from defects in manufacturing and materials for a period of (a) one (1) year from original purchase if not installed, or (b) fifteen (15) years from the date the Products were originally installed (the “Limited Warranty Period”), whichever comes first.

This Limited Warranty covers only damage to ceramic tile, natural stone, and marble flooring (subject to the exclusions and limitations provided herein). In no case does this Limited Warranty apply to any failure or nonconformance with specifications caused by or attributable to any associated or complementary products not supplied under this contract. The Limited Warranty and remedies are conditioned upon (a) proper storage, installation, use and maintenance, and conformance with any applicable recommendations of Manufacturer, including proper installation and use instructions, and (b) Customer promptly notifying Manufacturer of any defects and, if required, promptly making the products available for correction.

If any products or service fails to meet the foregoing warranties, Manufacturer shall thereupon correct any such failure either, at its option, (i) by repairing any defective or damaged products, (ii) by replacing the products, or (iii) refunding the purchase price of the specific products for which the warranty claim is made. Subject to the limitations included herein, the repair or replacement options include the replacement cost of the products as well as reasonable material costs to replace or repair any ceramic, natural stone and marble flooring that is directly damaged by the products or during reasonable efforts to repair or replace the products. Where a failure cannot be corrected by Manufacturer's reasonable efforts, the parties will negotiate an equitable adjustment in price. Manufacturer does not warrant any products or services of others designated by Customer.

Manufacturer's obligation under this warranty shall terminate immediately upon any modification of products by Customer or any unintended use of the products by Customer or others, unless made with the approval of Manufacturer.

THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPHS SET FORTH THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR CLAIMS BASED ON DEFECT IN OR

Upon the expiration of the Limited Warranty Period, all such warranty liability shall terminate and Customer shall have a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days after the Limited Warranty Period, to give written notice of any defects covered under this Limited Warranty that appeared during the Limited Warranty Period.
