Exclusive Remedy
Any claim arising under this Limited Warranty must be promptly submitted
in writing to the Manufacturer and must be accompanied with proof
of Homeowner’s purchase. If any of the Brick does not comply
with this Limited Warranty, Hanson Brick will at its own expense
and within a reasonable period of time, replace and or repair in
its sole discretion defective Brick. Hanson Brick shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to have its own representatives verify
the nature, extent, and case of alleged defects. If the parties
cannot resolve a claim under this Limited Warranty, any controversy
will be settled by arbitration through the American Arbitration
Association in accordance with its Construction Industry Arbitration
Rules, and judgment on the arbitrator’s award will be entered
by any court with jurisdiction.
The remedy of replacement and or repair shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Limited Warranty, and under no circumstances shall Hanson Brick be liable for any incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from any breach of this warranty or alleged defect in the Brick, although Hanson expressly disclaims any other warranty than those expressly set forth herein, any implied warranty of merchantability which may nevertheless be available to Homeowner shall be limited to the duration of this Limited Warranty or the expiration of the applicable Statutes of Limitations, whichever is sooner. Hanson Brick expressly disclaims any and all other warranties of any kind whatsoever as to its Brick including but not limited to express or implied warranties of fitness for particular purposes sold, description or quality of the Brick. Hanson makes no warranty as to the aesthetic qualities of the Brick.
This warranty gives Homeowner and subsequent transferees specific
legal rights, but they may also have other rights that vary from
state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
or exclusion may not apply to the Homeowner and subsequent transferee.
