What Does The Warranty Cover?

If you are unsure what is covered and isn't covered by our warranty, here's all the ins and outs you need to know.

WHAT DOES THE WARRANTY COVER?

Better Life Technology warrants AquaTread Marine Flooring will remain free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five (5) years pro rata, beginning on the purchase date from www.AquaTreadFlooring.com.

• This warranty is pro-rated for a period of 60 months, from the date purchased from AquaTreadFlooring.com.
• This warranty provides credit based on remaining time left on the warranty. Replacement of AquaTread Marine Flooring will be prorated based on the following formula:

• The warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the completed boat.
• Better Life Technology warrants AquaTread Marine Flooring will not excessively degrade or fade under normal, intended use, due to defects in material or workmanship for a period of five (5) years. This warranty includes a warranty against cracking, chipping, flaking, peeling, rot or corrosion that is directly caused by a manufacturing defect in the Product as determined by Better Life Technology.
• This warranty also includes a warranty against excessive color fade, which is more than ‘normal fading’ and is in excess of a Delta E of 4, as determined by Better Life Technology and based on our examination of the AquaTread sample, in the event of uneven or abnormal fade distribution which is not due to a buildup or accumulation of stains, dirt, mold, mildew, or any other deficiency caused by the lack of Required Cleaning and Care by the boat owner as is further described below.
