Warranty

REVEAL Surfaces warrants for 15 years from the original date of installation by a REVEAL Surfaces Certified Fabricator, REVEAL branded porcelain counter material that fails during the warranty period as a result of any manufacturing defect existing when fabricated. This warranty applies to REVEAL branded porcelain counter material that has been permanently installed in your residence. The option to repair or replace the defective materials is at the sole discretion of REVEAL Surfaces.

This Residential 15-Year Warranty is available only to the original owner of a single-family residence in which REVEAL branded porcelain counter material has been originally installed. In the case of a newly constructed single-family residence, this warranty is available to the "first" owner purchasing the residence with REVEAL branded porcelain counter material permanently installed and is transferable according to the terms and conditions stated below.

1. This warranty applies only to REVEAL branded porcelain counter materials and does not apply to any other products, including other porcelain counter products manufactured or supplied by any other party, except REVEAL Surfaces.
2. This warranty applies only to REVEAL branded porcelain counter materials that have been permanently installed in single-family residences and have not been moved from their original installation. If after or during installation you decide that you do not like the color or finish you selected, that decision is not covered under this warranty.
3. This warranty does not cover any residence where the owner is not the primary occupant.
4. This warranty does not cover materials and/or services that have not been paid in full.

You must agree to cooperate with REVEAL Surfaces or its authorized agents in the inspection of the product and assist us in efforts to perform our obligations under this warranty.
9. This warranty is transferable during the warranty period provided the original purchaser provides in writing the name of the new owner and the contact information within sixty (60) days of the transfer of ownership. The new owner will receive a prorated 15-year limited warranty, which is prorated from the original date of installation. In no event will the transferred warranty exceed fifteen (15) years from the date of the original installation. 
10. In the event that REVEAL branded porcelain counter materials fail due to a manufacturing defect, REVEAL Surfaces will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace such materials. REVEAL Surfaces will seek to obtain the best possible result, whether we decide to repair or replace your installation. However, exact color match is never guaranteed.
