WARRENTY

This warranty applies to the repair or replacement of failed material that has been permanently installed in your residence. The option to repair or replace the material is at the sole discretion of IN QUARTZ®.

This Residential 10 years warranty is available only to the original owner of a single-family residence in which IN QUARTZ® has been originally installed. In the case of a newly constructed single-family residence, this warranty is available to the “first” owner purchasing the residence with IN QUARTZ® permanently installed and is transferable according to the terms and conditions stated below.

Please contact us if you have any questions. IN QUARTZ reserves all rights for final explanation.
TERMS and CONDITIONS:

This warranty applies only to IN QUARTZ® quartz surfacing materials that have been permanently installed in the interior of single-family residences and have not been moved from their original installation. If after or during installation you decide that you do not like the color or finish you selected, that decision is not covered under this warranty.

This warranty does not cover any residence where the owner is not the occupant.

Following installation, you must register your product within thirty (30) days in order to activate your warranty. In the event that no record of your warranty is on file, you must provide proof of purchase in the form of a copy of your original receipt or invoice showing the name of the Owner, Authorized Dealer and IN QUARTZ® Certified Fabricator.

This warranty does not cover improper use or abuse. Improper use or abuse includes, but is not limited to, damage from mishandling of the product, damage from excessive heat or uneven exposure to weather conditions, physical or chemical abuse and damage from improper care and maintenance.

This warranty does not cover chips or other excessive impact damage in the product.

This warranty does not cover scratches. IN QUARTZ® is a very hard material and highly scratch resistance but not scratch proof. Proper care must be exercised including the use of a cutting board as part of your care and maintenance.

This warranty does not cover any defects that were visible at the time of fabrication and were not avoided during fabrication. Fabricators are required to perform a visual inspection of all materials prior to fabrication and again prior to installation.

This warranty does not cover seam appearance or seam performance, adhesives, caulk or other accessory items. Once the product is installed, the two main reasons for seam separation or cracking are the shifting or movement of the substrate, cabinets or foundation, and thermal shock. Thermal shock can occur when a hot pan, dish or other receptacle or object is left on the countertop for more than a brief period. Trivets or hot pads should always be used. These issues are not considered material defects and are subject to proper care and maintenance by the owner.

This warranty does not cover any chemical damage.

This warranty does not cover material that has been milled or reduced in thickness.

Any issues arising from the practice of “in-shop” honing are the sole responsibility of the fabricator.

This warranty does not cover temporary marks that are common to honed finishes such as metal marks, fingerprints or other signs of daily living. A signed “Special Care Considerations for IN QUARTZ® Honed Finishes” form is required to be submitted to IN QUARTZ® or its assigns to receive coverage under this warranty. This form must be signed by the end user/owner of the finished installation.

This warranty does not cover additional modifications such as plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinets, flooring, etc. that may be necessary to repair or replace the IN QUARTZ® product covered under this warranty.

This warranty does not cover natural variations in the color, size, shape and distribution of the pattern of the natural quartz or the natural variations in background tone.

Color samples provided to consumers, dealers and fabricators are only representative and not an exact replication of what will be installed in your home.

This warranty does not cover what is referred to as spots or blemishes smaller that a ten (10) cent piece. A certain level of spots or blemishes are inherent in the manufacturing process and do not affect the structural integrity of the material.
