This Warranty is subject to the following Limitations and Exclusions:

1. faulty building methods or in structural defects;
2. failure or cracking of brick due to settling of the Residence or subsidence;
3. incorrect use of mortar or deterioration of mortar (all mortar joints must be full);
4. inferior masonry workmanship including that which does not comply with BIA standards in BIA Tech Notes 7-B (April 1985), specifically excluding flush, raked, and extruded joints;
5. use of brick for soffits, sills, caps as excluded in BIA Tech Notes 36 and 36A (Jan. 1988);
6. use of brick for sidewalks, mailboxes, and all areas other than the walls of the Residence;
7. non-compliance with applicable building codes;

11. actions of or materials provided by any person other than Hanson Brick.

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.
