Catalina Collection
I. 25-Year Structural Limited Warranty
II. 25-Year Residential + Finish

The limited warranties described below are given only to the original purchaser (the "Buyer") AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROCEDURES, LIMITATIONS, DISCLAIMERS AND EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. Please read all of the limited warranty language carefully. These limited warranties do not apply to tavern grade (also known as #3 Common) hardwood flooring, or special items sold "as is". Dynasty’s obligation under these warranties is solely limited to repairing or replacing, at Dynasty’s option, the defective material, and shall not include any other costs or expenses such as installation, transportation, storage or other indirect costs, which costs shall be the responsibility of the Buyer.
Product defects must be reported by the Buyer to the point of purchase no later than thirty (30) days after the purchase. All other warranty claims made pursuant to the limited warranties granted herein must be reported by the Buyer to the point of purchase within thirty (30) days from the time the Buyer identifies the warranty issue.
Caution:
• Be sure to familiarize yourself with the terms of these warranties and the Dynasty Catalina Collection Installation Guide before installing your Catalina floor. Failure to comply with Dynasty’s installation and maintenance instructions and with recognized trade techniques could void the application of these warranties.
• Improper surface preparation may result in moisture-related problems not covered by this warranty program. Make sure that the subfloor is prepared as recommended in the Dynasty Catalina Collection Installation Guide and as per recognized trade techniques.
• Because no two pieces of wood are identical, we strongly recommend that you first pre-assemble the boards to determine appropriate color and shade mix. Moreover, if you decide to have your flooring installed by a third party (who must be qualified), be sure to approve the layout prior to final installation. Minor differences between color samples and the color of installed floors are normal and not considered to be defects.
• Gloss reduction is not considered surface wear and is not covered by the applicable limited warranty.
• Under no circumstances should you use water or pour any liquid directly onto the floor surface, nor should you resort to abrasive cleansers. Wipe up excess liquids or spills at once.

NOTE: A copy of the Dynasty Catalina Collection Step-by-Step Installation Guide & Warranty, your proof of purchase, and the portion of your Dynasty hardwood flooring package that includes the product description must be submitted with any claim made under these limited warranties. Please maintain these items in a secure place.

I. 25-Year Structural Limited Warranty
As Dynasty’s reputation has been built on reliable premium quality collections, our Catalina Collection is guaranteed to be free of structural defects as a result of milling or grading, for the lesser of (a) the lifetime of the Buyer, or (b) as long as the Buyer owns the home in which the Dynasty product is installed.
Wood is a natural product whose characteristics include minor color variations, grain variations, knots and mineral streaks, which are not considered defects. Given that wood is a product of nature, minor quality variations of up to five percent (5%) of total square footage/meters purchased are not covered by this limited warranty (as per industry standards). Should an individual piece be doubtful as to grade, manufacture or finish, the piece should not be installed.
Normal relative humidity levels of 35-55% must be adhered to in order to avoid excessive drying or swelling of the wood. Even properly installed flooring, however, can experience some separation between boards and may experience some cracks on the surface at different times, particularly in extremely dry or humid areas. These separations or cracks are not covered by this warranty.
NOTE: TO MINIMIZE THE RISK FACTOR OF FRACTURES AND OTHER STRUCTURAL FAILURES TO YELLOW BIRCH CAUSED BY THE FLUCTUATIONS OF ITS MOISTURE CONTENT, WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF CLEATS WHEN INSTALLING THIS SPECIES OF FLOORING.

II. Twenty-five (25) Year Residential + Finish Limited Warranty
Our Catalina Collection is coated with Aluminum Oxide and UV protection that is protected with a 25-year wear-through finish warranty from the date of purchase. Dynasty warrants to the Buyer that the finish will not wear through to the wood for the lesser of (a) twenty-five (25) full years from the purchase date or (b) as long as the Buyer owns the home in which our product is installed, when used under normal residential traffic conditions, and as long as the Buyers follow the Buyer’s Obligations in the Dynasty Catalina Collection Installation Guide.
NOTE: For surface wear to be covered under this limited warranty, the surface wear must be readily visible and must cover at least ten (10%) of the entire floor surface area. Gloss reduction is not considered surface wear.

In addition to any exclusions or limitations described above, these limited warranties exclude damages resulting from the following:

Claims Policies & Procedures
While our ultimate goal is to achieve total customer satisfaction, it is imperative that both the Buyer and installer inspect all flooring before permanent installation, to approve its color, finish and overall quality. In the unlikely event that any portion of your floor is defective, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth above, Dynasty, at its sole option, will repair or refinish said portion provided you meet all applicable terms, conditions and limitations of the applicable limited warranty. Claims must be filed at point of purchase by the Buyer. Information such as proof of purchase, this Step-by-Step Installation Guide & Warranty and the portion of your Dynasty hardwood flooring packaging that includes the product description must be produced. Dynasty reserves the right to inspect the floor and remove samples for technical analysis, including the removal of at least two wood boards for lab testing, if necessary.
In the event of any warranty claim, the Buyer must produce as evidence the following proof of purchase: -Product code from product label -Quantity of wood purchased from purchase receipt -Dynasty Step-by-Step Installation Guide & Warranty
