Common use of Warp Clause in Contracts

Warp. Quaker warrants its wood and vinyl doors against warping, bowing, cupping or twisting of greater than 1/4” for ten (10) years. It is not uncommon for a temporary warp condition to occur as wood adjusts to local humidity and temperature conditions, so Quaker may defer action on such warranty claims for up to one (1) year. Doors greater than 7 feet (84 inches) tall without factory installed multi-point locking hardware are not warranted against warping or performance. The following items, including any resulting damage or injury or defect, are excluded from warranty coverage: • Installation or use near high humidity areas (pools, saunas, hot tubs, etc.) or in homes with excessive humidity. • Condensation, unless due to insulated glass failure. • Normal wear and tear; including fading and/or discoloration from normal use, age or sun exposure. • Failure to paint, treat or properly seal exposed wood within 30 days of installation.
