Lifetime Guarantee

FDS warrants its fence and deck products subject to the conditions and limitations listed herein, to be free from defective workmanship and materials, and when subject to normal and proper use, it is further warranted against surface peeling, rot, ground insects, splitting, corrosion, flaking, rusting and blistering, abnormal weathering or abnormal discoloration under conditions of normal use and service.

FDS warrants only those products manufactured by FDS Manufacturing; any mixing of non-FDS profiles will invalidate this. Warranty extends only to the original purchaser unless the warranty is transferred according to terms specified herein.

Exclusions

FDS shall not be liable for and this warranty does not apply to any failure, defect or damage resulting from or connected with the following:

• Defects not caused by FDS (for example, but not limited to: accidents, misuse, improper applications or installations contrary to industry or FDS standards.)
• Product that has been painted or had its surface treated with other than approved chemicals.
• Product subject to impact of foreign objects, tornado, hurricane, other violent storms, fire, air pollutants, normal weathering of surfaces, abnormal discoloration due to improper maintenance, discontinuation of products including colours or acts of God.
• Hardware, gate, or accessory items; installation of these products or defects caused by their installation.
• FDS's Limited Lifetime Warranty will not be applicable for products that are covered under a separate warranty

Warning

FDS and its employees are not qualified to approve, recommend or advise as the suitability of this product for all possible end use applications. Your local authority should be consulted regarding safety for its intended uses. Like other building materials, FDS cannot be expected to contain a horse or other large animals that wants to break the fence enclosing it, and therefore makes no representation about and does not warrant against such an occurrence.
