This warranty may not be altered or amended except in a written instrument signed by Alpha Decking and Purchaser.

Alpha Decking installation guides are designed as a quick and simple guide. They may not cover every installation scenario envisaged. Since each installation is unique, the installation method used and/or the actual installation and its actual performance are the sole responsibility of the installer.

Alpha Decking recommends that all designs be reviewed by a licensed architect, or engineer before installation. Please ensure your plan and/or design meets building regulations and permission before you begin installation.

If you are unsure of the best practices, please use suitably qualified personnel to prevent injuries or accidents.

The exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages is not allowed in some nations, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from nation to nation. Consumers have legal rights under applicable national legislation governing the sale of consumer goods. This warranty does not affect those rights.

Claim Procedure:

Every claim under this warranty shall be deemed waived unless it meets the conditions set forth in this warranty. The limit of Alpha Decking's liability for any breach of this warranty, whether due to negligence, breach of warranty, strict liability, or any other theory, shall apply only to defective products as determined under the terms of this warranty.
