The obligation of Viance under this warranty is
limited to replacement of lumber in accordance with
the terms of this warranty. There are no warranties
offered by Viance other than those described herein.
Nothing in this warranty shall create additional implied
warranties, including without limitation warranties of
merchantability or tness for a particular purpose.
Some state and local laws vary with regard to duration
of implied warranties and limitations of incidental or
consequential damages contained in such implied
warranties. In any event Viance will comply with
the laws of the state in which a limited warranty is
validated. CA is not a maintenance-free product. Over
time, foot trafc, weathering and the sun’s ultra-violet
rays will affect the wood’s surface in general. To help
maximize surface protection and to keep your wood
looking better longer, we recommend that a surface-
applied water repellent with UV protection be applied
every one to two years.
HOW TO MAKE CLAIMS
To make a claim under this warranty, an Original
Consumer-Purchaser must send to the address below,
the original invoice or retailer receipt showing date,
amount, and CA end tags or photo of preservative
treatment stamp of each item of CA claimed to be
damaged. You may be required to provide Viance
with additional photographs and sections of damaged
wood. In addition, Viance reserves the right to have a
