Door Destination Warranty
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read this entire Door Destination Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liability ("Limited Warranty") before purchasing or installing this product. By purchasing, installing, or using this product you are acknowledging that this Limited Warranty is part of the terms of sale.
*A Delivery Release must be emailed sales@doordestination.com to Door Destination within 72 hours of receiving doors to validate warranty.
WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS
This Limited Warranty applies only to Door Destination entry doors, door frames, sidelights, and transoms (“Covered Products”). Door Destination makes the following exclusive express Limited Warranties for Door Destination products installed within the United States and Canada, subject to the stated conditions and limitations. This Limited Warranty is not transferable.
I. Non-glass Materials & Workmanship One-Year (1-Year) Nontransferable Limited Warranty.
Door Destination warrants that the non-glass components of its Doors shall be free of manufacturing defects in material or workmanship that significantly impair their proper operation and function for one (1) year from the date of sale. Should the warranted door be found to contain defects in materials or workmanship as installed in its original door opening occurring within one (1) year from the date of sale by Door Destination, Door Destination shall, and at its sole option: 1) repair or replace: defects, material or workmanship that significantly impairs the proper operation and function or 2) refund the original purchase price. Grilles or any other alterations not installed by Door Destination may void this warranty. This Limited Warranty on Non-glass Components does not apply to hardware finishes.
II. Non-decorative and Decorative Glass One-Year (1-Year) Limited Warranty.
Door Destination warrants that all the glass (clear insulated and decorative insulated) shall be free from premature failure or permanent material obstruction of vision due to a failure of the glass seal for one (1) year from the date of sale by Door Destination. If Door Destination is given notice of a glass defect occurring within one (1) year of the date of sale by Door Destination, Door Destination shall, at its sole option: 1) repair or replace the defective glass or 2) refund the original purchase price.
NOTE: Door Destination cannot under any circumstances be responsible for installation, repainting, refinishing or other similar activities necessary to complete the replacement or any cost associated with the resolve of glass claims.
Door Destiantion will furnish the insulated glass only free of charge, F.O.B. the original point of delivery. Cracked or broken glass is not covered by the warranty. Decorative glass that is hand crafted may vary from one lite to another and contain variations in color, size, glass clarity and welded joints may differ. These are not defects. Tempered glass contains varying degrees of distortions. These distortions may affect view and are not considered a defect. All glass should be cleaned with mild soap & water only. All other solutions could cause damage or seal failure. Do not allow metal parts of cleaning equipment to contact glass.
III. Important Notes and Requirements For Your Warranty:
1. NOTE: EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, Door Destiantion SHALL NOT PAY FOR THE COST OF LABOR, INSTALLATION, FINISHING, PAINTING, SHIPPING ETC. OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL DOOR OR FOR ANY OTHER COST RELATING TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DOOR, ALL OF THESE COSTS DESCRIBED SHALL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERSON MAKING THE WARRANTY CLAIM.
2. NOTE:Â Since many minor flaws can be repaired or corrected, all items should be inspected thoroughly for such defects upon receipt and before machining. Please be aware that the machining of a door, sidelight or transom constitutes acceptance of the product as it was received by our customer. Any minor flaws or defects that may exist at the time of machining will not be considered as defective product or claimable once machining has been completed. So, please inspect all items thoroughly before the machining process takes place. These doors are shipped to you unsealed and unfinished, so we do not warrant against the natural characteristics of the wood which may occur in the various conditions encountered from our plant to your finished opening. Because the wood can respond in different ways to the variety of atmospheric and environmental conditions, it is imperative that special attention is given to the door and the necessary care and effort taken to protect the door in the unfinished state to minimize the potential for problems.
3. NOTE:Â Doors must be installed providing protection from exposure, typically with a standard overhang extending outward a distance equal to one-half its height from the bottom of the door up to the overhang to be covered by this warranty.
4. NOTE:Â Any deterioration caused by failure to finish and seal all exposed surfaces and edges of the door within 48 hours of delivery are not covered by this warranty. For continued protection, the finish needs to be maintained yearly.
5. NOTE:Â Please comply with all of the handling and finishing instructions completely to validate the warranty. The product must be hand- sanded before finishing.
6. NOTE: Door Destination is not responsible for or makes no warranty as to: Any visible defect or mistake in shipment reported to Door Destination more than 48 hours after receipt or after the product is machined or installed.
Without the notation "Potential Damage, Subject To Inspection" on the delivery receipt, Door Destination cannot guarantee reimbursement in case of shipping damage.
7. NOTE:Â All doors must be finished within 48 hours of receiving the door and due to the hygroscopic nature of lumber should not be stored in an unfinished state beyond this period.
8. NOTE: Doors must be stored flat on a level surface in a dry, well ventilated building at least 4” above the ground and covered to avoid direct sunlight, as well as moisture, dirt and dust.
9. NOTE:Â Door Destination may charge a fee for on-site product inspections that will only be reimbursed to the customer if a valid claim under this warranty exists.

NOTE:DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RETURN ANY ITEMS WITHOUT PRIORÂ WRITTENAUTHORIZATION FROM Door Destiantion.
IV. Important Handling, Finishing and Installation Instructions: -
Most finishes on exterior doors deteriorate relatively quickly. To insure exterior doors receive the protection required, inspect the condition of exterior finish at least once a year and refinish as often as needed to maintain the protective stability of the finish.
2. Entrance doors shall always be shipped and stored vertically (not leaning).
3. Doors shall not be exposed to excessive heat, dryness, humidity or direct sunlight prior to finishing.
4. Handle door with clean gloves and do not drag doors across each other or other surfaces.
5. If doors are stored on the job site for more than 7 days, all exposed surfaces and edges of the door must be finished and sealed — even if stored out of the elements.
6. All hardware locations, preparations and methods of installation must be appropriate for the specific door.
7. All doors 7' and under must have three hinges. Doors over 7' must have four hinges. (Exception: 8' Round Top may have three hinges)
8. Prior to finishing, remove all handling marks with 150-grit or finer sandpaper and remove all sanding dust.
9. Apply sealer, primer or first coat of required finish immediately after fitting, cutting for hardware, etc., and before the installation of hardware.
10. ALL EXPOSED SURFACES OF THE DOOR MUST BE SEALED, INCLUDING THE TOP, BOTTOM, SIDE EDGES AND THE HARDWARE CUTOUTS.
11. NOTE: An interior-grade lacquer is NOT a satisfactory product for exterior use.
12. All exterior surfaces — including the top, bottom and sides of the door — must be finish coated with a good quality exterior- grade paint or top coat. (AT LEAST 3 COATS OF EXTERIOR GRADE TOP COAT WITH A UV INHIBITOR MUST BE APPLIED.)
13. In order not to induce warpage or excessive deterioration of your door, avoid using dark stains or paints on the door surfaces exposed to direct sunlight.

Conditions Applicable to All Sales and Limited Warranties
Limitation of Warranty. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH Door Destination HANDLING, FINISHING, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS VOIDS ALL WARRANTIES UNLESS IT IS CLEARLY ESTABLISHED BY THE BUYER OR USER OF THE PRODUCT THAT THE DEFECT OR FAILURE IS UNRELATED TO SUCH NONCOMPLIANCE.These warranties do not extend to the use of Covered Products under abnormal conditions, conditions that exceed the stated performance parameters of the product as provided on the product labeling or under conditions not reasonably foreseeable to, or beyond the control of Door Destination. Buyer and User assume the risk of any such use. This Limited Warranty is the exclusive warranty for Door Destination wood door products.
NEITHER Door Destiantion NOR SELLER MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE. NO IMPLIED WARRANTY SHALL EXTEND BEYOND THE PERIODS COVERED BY THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY. This disclaimer of implied warranties may be limited or ineffective if you are a consumer, as that term is defined by the Magnuson Moss Act, 15 U.S.C. § 2301, in which case the duration of any implied warranties shall be one (1) years from the date of sale by Door Destination or its authorized dealer. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts for consumers, so the above limitation may not apply to you, in which event the manner of presenting any claim thereon shall be the same as provided in the express warranties stated herein. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have additional rights, which vary from state to state.
THE REMEDIES FOR THE BUYER DESCRIBED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE EXCLUSIVEand take the place of any other remedy. The liability of the Manufacturer, whether in contract or tort, under warranty, product liability, or otherwise, will not go beyond the Manufacturer’s obligation to repair or replace, at its option, as described above.

Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so above limitation may not apply to you.
No employee, distributor, dealer, representative, or other person has the authority to modify any term or condition contained in this Limited Warranty or to grant any other warranty on behalf of or binding on the Manufacturer, and anyone’s attempt to do so will be null and void.
VI. Allocation of Risks of Door Destination Systems Performance.
Because all construction must anticipate some water infiltration, it is important that the wall system be designed and constructed to properly manage moisture. Door Destination is not responsible for claims or damages caused by anticipated or unanticipated water infiltration; deficiencies in building design, construction and maintenance; failure to install Door Destination products in accordance with Door Destination Installation Instructions; or the use of Door Destination door products in barrier wall systems, which do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall system (see the following).
The determination of the suitability of all building components, including the use of Door Destination products, as well as the design and installation of flashing and sealing systems, is the responsibility of Buyer or User, the architect, contractor, installer or other construction professional and is not the responsibility of Door Destination. All risks related to building design and construction or the maintenance, installation, and use of Door Destination door products shall be assumed by Buyer and/or User.
IMPORTANT NOTICE— Door Destination door products should not be used in barrier wall systems, which do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall systems, such as Exterior Insulation Finish Systems, (EIFS) (also known as synthetic stucco) or similar systems. Except in the states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado, Door Destination makes no warranty of any kind on and assumes no responsibility for Door Destination doors installed in barrier wall systems. In the states listed above, the installation of Door Destination products in EIFS or similar barrier systems must be in accordance with Door Destination’s instructions for that type of construction.
VII. Limitation of Liability.
This Limited Warranty sets forth the maximum liability for our products. IN NO EVENT (INCLUDING WHERE THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS DEEMED NOT TO APPLY TO THE SALE OR PRODUCT IN QUESTION) SHALL Door Destination BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE SALE, INSTALLATION OR USE OF ANY Door Destination PRODUCTS. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages for consumers, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
VIII. Limitation of Remedy.
THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE BUYER OR USER, AND THE SOLE LIABILITY OF Door Destination AND SELLER FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, INJURIES OR DAMAGES (INCLUDING CLAIMS BASED ON BREACH OF WARRANTY, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) RESULTING FROM THE SALE, INSTALLATION OR USE OF THESE PRODUCTS, SHALL BE, AT THE OPTION OF Door Destination, TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCT OR THE RETURN OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT, AS PROVIDED HEREIN. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF Door Destination OR SELLER EXCEED THE PRICE PAID FOR THE PRODUCT.
Replacement product shall be a reasonably similar current product and may not exactly match the original. Even where Door Destination chooses to repair or replace product within one (1) year of the date of sale, the costs covered by this warranty do not include any labor or material costs associated with finishing space surrounding or adjacent to the repaired or replaced product including furnishing any trim or other carpentry work. Replacement product provided pursuant to this Limited Warranty shall be subject to the applicable Door Destiantion Product Limited Warranty only for the remainder of the original warranty period on the product being replaced. If Door Destiantion or Seller provides any of the remedies identified in the Limited Warranties above (i.e., repair, replacement of product or refund of the purchase price), then Buyer and/or User agree that this limitation of remedy shall not have failed of its essential purpose.
IX. Transferability
