Exclusions

Spec-Trim Mfg. Co., Inc. will not be held responsible for any product damaged by Acts of God, accidental or intentional damages, improper installation, repairs or modifications by persons not authorized by Spec-Trim or by the use of parts and accessories not authorized by Spec-Trim.

Limitation of Warranty

Except as set forth in this warranty, Spec-Trim Mfg. Co., Inc. makes no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of the products. Spec-Trim will in no event be liable for consequential or incidental damages arising out of any breach of any express or implied warranty. Spec-Trim's liability will not exceed the original purchase price of the shutters, excluding installation, freight, and taxes. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Remedies and Claims Procedure

At Spec-Trim Mfg. Co., Inc.'s sole option, any products found to be defective will be either repaired, replaced, or refinished, provided that the defective shutter is returned freight pre-paid to Spec-Trim. Spec-Trim will not be responsible for incidental charges including, but not limited to, the cost of removal and re-installation of shutters that are subject of the warranty claims.

Any claim under this warranty must be made in writing and postmarked within 30 days after discovery of the defect to: Spec-Trim Mfg. Co., Inc., 12739 Spectrim Lane, Midlothian, Virginia 23112, Attention: Warranty. Spec-Trim must be allowed a reasonable opportunity to determine and fulfill its obligations under this warranty before the others make any repairs. Spec-Trim expressly disavows any responsibility for repairs made by a third party.

Spec-Trim shall solely determine whether proper installation was made, whether any warping is excessive for purposes of this warranty, and whether any complaints related to the finishes are beyond normal weathering and therefore warrantable.

Purchaser shall bear the burden of proving to Spec-Trim's reasonable satisfaction the date of purchase and that Purchaser is in fact the original purchaser of the product from Spec-Trim.
