Service Plan

This service plan (“service plan”) is a service contract between you, (“You”, “Your”, “the customer”) the original owner and consumer, on the installation of flooring product(s) purchased from an authorized dealer (“dealer”) and Floor Warranty Incorporated (“FWI”, “We”, “Our”, “Us”) located at London, Ontario.

This service plan is not an insurance policy or your manufacturer’s warranty. This service plan covers issues related to the installation of the flooring product purchased from the dealer as outlined below. The service plan begins on the date of installation provided you have been registered by the dealer. All registrations must be received by the dealer on behalf of you, the customer, within 7 days of the purchase.

The length of coverage of the service plan is “life of floor” as recognized by the manufacturer or maximum coverage spend, whichever comes first. The “life of floor” is the length of the manufacturer’s warranty of the product as deemed by individual manufacturers. The maximum coverage spend is the amount paid by you, the customer, for the installation of the product purchased from the dealer.

How to make a service request

You may contact us by phone at 1-866-931-0757, by e-mail at info@floorwarrantyinc.com or online at www.floorwarrantyinc.com to request service. We may request your Membership or Customer card number, your phone number, and/or your proof of purchase to verify your registration in the system by the dealer.
We may request that you provide picture(s) of the issue by e-mail as it will assist in expediting the process to resolve the issue.
If you are unable or unwilling to provide picture(s) or if we are unable to determine the nature of the issue, we will send an installer, of our choice, to inspect the issue.
Once we have determined the issue is covered by the service plan, we will dispatch an installer, of our choice, to remedy the issue within a reasonable amount of time. The installer will provide remediation of the issue, including replacement of product, up to the amount spent on the initial installation (also known as the maximum coverage spend). This does not include replacement of product due to manufacturer’s defect and does not cover installation of product due to manufacturer’s defect.
In the event of providing repair or replacement service, should the original item no longer beavailable, you will be asked to reselect a similar replacement piece. Dye lots vary and fading may occur over time, which may result in replacement pieces that may not exactly match the colour of the non-replaced piece. FWI may reuse pieces of the original purchase to colour match the original installation.
Customers can report multiple issues within the same service plan provided the product is still within the “life of floor” timeframe as recognized by the manufacturer or you have not reached the maximum coverage spend of the service plan.

Limit of liability:

The service plan will conclude at “life of floor” or maximum coverage spend, whichever comes first.
