Mbrico Tile Decks LLC (“Mbrico”) Limited Residential and Commercial Product Lifetime Warranty

Lifetime Residential AND Commercial Limited Warranty:

Manufacturer Mbrico LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Mbrico”) warrants to the original or tranferee Mbrico product package purchaser(s) (hereinafter referred to as “purchaser”) that its products, packages and materials meet or exceed the performance specifications outlined at the time of production (lifetime for residential product application as well lifetime for commercial product application) from the date of shipment from our Mbrico manufacturing facility.

For purposes of this warranty “residential” application shall refer to materials provided for installation of the Mbrico surface product or any of its components on a single family dwelling, and a “commercial" application shall refer to materials provided for any installation of the Mbrico product anywhere other than on a single family dwelling. Residential and Commercial product applications are covered for a lifetime warranty under this detailed limited product warranty.

Certain factors are beyond Mbrico’s control, including: installation of our materials or products by a third party installer of the purchaser’s choice; deck framing (labor and materials)/structure/architectural design; damage or shifting in patio sub layers be it concrete, earth, sand, gravel, or grass; not following installation guidelines; certain environmental conditions; acts of God; or other factors not specified in published Mbrico testing guidelines. Accordingly, Mbrico warrants its products only to issues arising out of:

1. improper manufacture of the Mbrico tile deck or patio surface directly on behalf of Mbrico; or
2. tiles not conforming to Mbrico advertised specifications, dimensions, or ratings.
3. In the event an issue should arise due to one of these two factors above, Mbrico will, at its option, either refund the original purchase price of the specifically damaged surface components (not including cost of installation, deconstruction, or shipment) or provide replacement materials of the same kind following a written notification from purchaser and confirmation of warranty claim by an approved Mbrico representative. Mbrico will not be responsible for any costs of labor, installation, removal, third party service or profits, expertise, return, or freight of replacement products or funds. Mbrico warrants only components altered or manufactured by Mbrico. Mbrico does not warrant products beyond what is expressly stated above and below within the limited Mbrico product warranty.

Except as expressly stated within this limited warranty document, this limited warranty states the sole and exclusive remedy of buyer, the sole and exclusive warranty of Mbrico, and is in lieu of and has precedence over all other warranties, whether expressed, assumed, explained or implied by representative, purchaser statute, or otherwise, whether of merchantability, resale for any particular purpose or use, or otherwise, and whether on the products, components, or any parts of labor furnished during discussion, advertising, sale, delivery, installation, freight, loading, unloading, removal, replacement, or servicing of the Mbrico deck surface products. This warranty is only valid for current Mbrico material cost at time of warranty claim and is offered to original Mbrico purchaser or new Mbrico deck owner only. 

If a Residential Purchaser makes a valid warranty claim during years nine (9) or beyond after the original purchase date, the recovery will not be in-full, but will be prorated as indicated below. A Commercial Purchaser's percent replacement will follow this pro-rata guide as well. This pro-rata guide and Limited Lifetime Warranty is valid for discount on replacement product only, no cash value.
