If a Purchaser discovers a defect in the Cement Decking product within the warranty period, the Purchaser shall notify EnviroBuild in writing to the following email address:

. EnviroBuild reserves the right to request additional information in connection with the warranty claim. If EnviroBuild determines the Purchaser’s claim is valid upon confirmation by an authorized EnviroBuild representative of the defect, EnviroBuild’s sole responsibility shall be, at its option, to either replace the defective item or refund the portion of the purchase price paid by Purchaser for such defective item, as set out below (not including the cost of its initial installation or delivery). This warranty shall not cover and EnviroBuild shall not be responsible for costs and expenses incurred with respect to the removal of defective Cement Decking products or the installation of replacement materials, including but not limited to labour and delivery. The foregoing remedies are the SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY.
For purposes of this warranty, a ‘residential application’ shall refer to an installation of the Cement Decking product on an individual residence, and a ‘commercial application’ shall refer to any installation of the Cement Decking product other than on an individual residence. If a valid warranty claim is made during the valid warranty period after the original purchase date, then the Purchaser's recovery will be prorated as indicated below. If EnviroBuild is providing replacement materials, it may elect to replace the percentage listed below of Cement Decking products; if EnviroBuild is refunding the purchase price, it may elect to refund the percentage listed below of the purchase price of the Cement Decking products.

The exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages is not allowed in some nations, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

Consumers have legal rights under applicable national legislation governing the sale of consumer goods. This warranty does not affect those rights.
