DECK TECH AUSTRALIA - LIMITED WARRANTY

DTA (hereinafter “DTA”) warrants to the original purchaser (“Purchaser”) that, for the period of time set forth in the following sentence, under normal use and service conditions, DTA® products shall be free from material defects in workmanship and materials, and shall not split, splinter, rot or suffer structural damage from termites or fungal decay. The term of such warranty shall be twenty-five (25) years from the date of original purchase for a residential application, and ten (10) years from the date of original purchase for a commercial application. If a defect occurs within the warranty period, Purchaser shall notify DTA in writing and, upon confirmation by an authorized DTA representative of the defect, DTA’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 (not including the cost of its initial installation).

For purposes of this warranty, a “residential application” shall refer to an installation of the Product on an individual residence, and a “commercial application” shall refer to any installation of the Product other than on an individual residence.

With respect to a residential application, this warranty may be transferred one (1) time, within the five (5) year period beginning from the date of original purchase by the Purchaser, to a subsequent buyer of the property upon which the DTA products were originally installed. With respect to a commercial application, this warranty is freely transferable to subsequent buyers of the property upon which the DTA products were originally installed.

To make a claim under this limited warranty, Purchaser, or the transferee, shall send to DTA, within the warranty period referred to above, a description of the claimed defect and proof of purchase, to the following address:
