Manufacturer’s Warranty

General Terms and Conditions

1. These limited warranties apply to flooring installed only in owner-occupied residential space where no commercial activity takes place.
2. These limited warranties exclude flooring that has been put to commercial use, abnormal use or conditions, or abused in any way. “Commercial use” includes, but is not limited to, use in a store, office, or other place of business. “Abnormal use or conditions” includes, but is not limited to, water damage from plumbing, storm, or flood; damage from smoke or fire; damage from improper cleaning methods or materials; and from improper maintenance. “Abuse” is any use of the flooring that is unreasonable considering the normal and expected uses of flooring in a residence.
3. To qualify for repair or replacement, the original sales receipt, which demonstrates proof of purchase, must be supplied.
4. These warranties apply only to the original purchaser.
5. These warranties apply only to flooring professionally installed by City Commercial Floorcoverings.
6. City Commercial Floorcoverings provides 24 month labour warranty on installations. There is limited service in cut to fit linoleum installations and those sold with no guarantee. The following conditions are not considered installation-related problems and are not covered beyond this limited-installation warranty:
7. Carpet: Visible seams normally required for installation.
8. Ceramic Flooring: Tile and grout cracking due to subfloor deflection or foundation settling.
9. Hardwood Flooring: Gapping between boards and moisture-related issues.
10. Laminate Flooring: Moisture-related issues.
11. Vinyl Flooring: Visible seams normally required for installation.
12. We are not responsible for stretch-buckles or indentation, which will not flatten out because of furniture or fixtures.
13. The Buyer/Customer will be fully responsible for the tenant’s safety during and after new flooring installation.
14. WE SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BASED UPON THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES, CONTRACTS, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL CLAIM. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The foregoing warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state.
15. Colour match to samples will vary from dye lot to dye lot. Buyer agrees to accept colour variances that fall within industry-established ranges. Hardwood, cork, and bamboo are natural materials that will have colour variations such as variations from heartwood to sapwood, mineral streaks, and variations in the grain. Temperature and humidity must be maintained within manufacturer specifications by the customer.
16. The installers DO NOT move, disconnect, or reconnect the following items: gas appliances, icemaker refrigerators, grand pianos, aquariums, waterbeds, grandfather clocks, antiques, breakables, bedding, draperies, or anything that may be fragile.
17. Dust: Installing new flooring may cause a considerable amount of dust. Please take adequate measures to protect your belongings. The dust cannot be contained to just the areas being installed.
18. Squeaks: We cannot repair existing floor squeaks or guarantee that any attempt to do so will be effective.
19. Doors: We assume no responsibility for cutting doors. Installers can remove doors to install flooring, but we are not responsible for replacing doors if the new flooring does not provide adequate clearance.
20. Walls & Baseboards: Even though the installers will take all normal precautions when new flooring is installed, it may be necessary for the customer to touch up the baseboards after installation. If you plan to paint or wallpaper, this should be completed after installation. New applied paint and wallpaper is especially susceptible to damage.
21. Seams will be visible on carpet & vinyl installations. Where seaming is necessary the carpet/vinyl will be seamed according to the best-known method, and the best possible way for the material involved. The visibility of your seams will depend on the type of carpet/vinyl, lighting, and direction of seam. Unless otherwise specifically mentioned on the order in writing, seams will be left to the discretion of the installer.
22. Existing or subfloors not installed by City Commercial Floorcoverings : Installing new hard surface floors without the required sub-floor will void all installation warranties and may affect the manufacturer’s warranty as well. Problems arising from underlayment not installed by us or arising from floor structure are not our responsibility and are not covered by the warranties.
23. Unforeseen structural issues: Many structural issues cannot be seen until the old flooring is removed. If the installers find any structural issues during installation such as termite damage or water damaged structural subflooring, the install will be stopped until the Buyer is able to remedy the structural issue.
24. Delivery & Installation: Delivery and installation may be delayed because of reasons beyond City Commercial Floorcoverings control such as weather, production delays, shipping delays, fires, accidents, strikes, lock-outs, and governmental acts. Buyer agrees that City Commercial Floorcoverings is not responsible for delays or failures in delivery or installation caused by reasons beyond City Commercial Floorcoverings control. City Commercial Floorcoverings is not responsible for any consequential damages or costs arising from the occurrence of any event as described in this paragraph.

29. If you receive the wrong material and would like to return it, you must refuse installation/delivery; the material must be unused, uncut, uninstalled and unaltered in any way.
