WARRANTIES
Introduction
Manufacturer provides the following limited warranties, applicable to its luxury vinyl flooring. Manufacturer
warrants its luxury vinyl flooring for defects in material and/or workmanship that relate to the performance of the
flooring in accordance with the terms of these warranties for the prorated time period and during the stated period
of the warranties herein. These warranties are the sole warranties applicable to the named product.
Warranties
The following limited warranties apply to all Pergo® Extreme luxury vinyl flooring products:
Joint Integrity
Manufacturer warrants that the locking system contained in your luxury vinyl flooring will not fail.
Manufacturing Defects Warranty
Manufacturer warrants that your luxury vinyl flooring will be free of manufacturing defects.
Waterproof Warranty
Manufacturer warrants that your luxury vinyl flooring will be 100% waterproof and the structural integrity of the floor will not be significantly diminished by exposure to water.¹
Household Stain Resistance Warranty
Manufacturer warrants your luxury vinyl flooring will resist stains from common household products, excluding permanent marker, permanent dyes, and finishing stains.
Wear Resistance Warranty
Manufacturer warrants that your luxury vinyl flooring will resist wearing through the wear layer under normal
household conditions.2
These limited warranties are subject to the conditions described in the Conditions section below.
1 The Waterproof Warranty applies to the Pergo Extreme product itself and does not extend to damage of the subfloor or adhesives. The warranty refers to topical moisture or topical water exposure. It does not cover moisture or water coming from below/underneath the product and does not cover flooding or intentional damage or misuse.
2 “Wearing through” is defined as complete loss of the wear layer so that the printed pattern or design is altered. Gloss change is not considered wear and is not covered by this warranty. “Normal household use” is defined as common daily activities in the home, excluding pet damage such as chewing, digging, clawing, etc.

Product-specific warranties include the following, when applicable:
Dent Proof
Manufacturer warrants that the surface of the floor will not indent from normal use of the product. “Surface indentation” is defined as a visual impression that can be measured greater than 0.08 inch (2 mm) deep from everyday household drops of no more than 72 inches (1.8 m) from the floor.
Pet Proof
Manufacturer warrants that your luxury vinyl flooring will resist scratching and stains from all domestic pets, including stains from vomit, urine, or feces.
CleanProtect Antimicrobial product protection is effective against certain common bacteria that cause stains, odors, and product degradation. Antimicrobial protection is not designed to protect users from disease-causing bacteria.
Manufacturer disclaims liability for any sickness or death caused by microbes on the flooring surface or any associated
medical expenses. Antimicrobial product protection is limited to the top surface of the product itself and does not protect
against disease-causing bacteria.
In the event of an antimicrobial warranty claim, Manufacturer may examine the product and determine the extent to which the protection has been diminished.
WetProtect® Waterproof Flooring System
Manufacturer warrants that your luxury vinyl flooring will be 100% waterproof and the structural integrity of your floor will not be significantly diminished by exposure to water. Manufacturer warrants that your luxury vinyl flooring will not be damaged due to wet mopping or everyday household spills. Manufacturer warrants that the subfloor layer immediately below your luxury vinyl flooring will not be damaged due to wet mopping or everyday household spills penetrating properly installed joints.3
Installation Instructions (WetProtect)
The entire perimeter of the installation must be sealed with the WetProtect-compatible molding system or 100% silicone sealant in accordance with the installation instructions. For sections where the WetProtect-compatible molding system cannot be used, seal the perimeter with 100% silicone sealant. All expansion spaces must be filled with 3/8-inch compressible PE foam backer rod and covered with 100% silicone sealant. Apply 100% silicone sealant to all moldings at the point of contact with the flooring surface. Apply silicone sealant at all connections to doorframes or any other fixed objects.
Limitations (WetProtect)
“Subfloor damage” is defined as visible mold or mildew growth on the surface of a concrete or wood subfloor due to topical
moisture penetrating a properly installed joint as well as any rot or decay of a wood subfloor caused by topical moisture
leaking through the joint system. In all cases, subfloor damage must be the result of topical moisture leaking through a properly
installed joint. Subfloor damage originating from moisture underneath the installed floor, or penetrating around the perimeter
of the installation, is excluded.
Remedy (WetProtect)
For claims involving subfloor damage, Manufacturer will cover reasonable labor costs to clean visible mold and mildew growth using industry standard methods. For wood subfloor damage, Manufacturer will cover reasonable labor and materials costs to repair or replace only the damaged sections of subfloor. Replacement or cleaning of insulation, floor joists, or other structural,
mechanical, or electrical components is excluded. Consequential damages, including any medical issues related to mold or
mildew growth, are also excluded.
3 The WetProtect Waterproof Flooring System Warranty applies to the Pergo Extreme product and the subfloor. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from a failure to fully engage
the locking system around all sides of each plank during installation.
OBLIGATIONS OF OWNER
Owner must submit notice of all claims under these warranties to the retailer within the specified warranty period. Claims
must be submitted in writing.
These warranties apply to Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl flooring to the extent product is installed and maintained in accordance with our most recent installation and maintenance procedures. For the most up-to-date procedures, please visit www.mohawkflooring.com. The original owner agrees to provide proof of purchase and compliance with recommended installation and maintenance procedures when a claim is filed.
If you find a defect or other matter covered by any of the limited warranties described previously, notify the retailer who sold you the floor covering material. The retailer will review and, if necessary, file a claim with the manufacturer and help answer
any questions you may have.

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl flooring is warranted as indicated above in continuous climate-controlled interior environments.
The following general terms and conditions apply. If you have questions regarding the warranty information, please contact
your retailer or Pergo Extreme sales representative.
1. These warranties apply only to the original owner and the first installation of the product and are nontransferable. The
“original owner” is the person stated as the buyer on the purchase document(s).
2. Manufacturer will, at its option, repair or replace product not meeting the above-listed warranties according to the
proration schedule set out below. When replacement of the flooring is made, only new material from the current
product range at the time of the claim will be supplied by the distributor or retailer. If the product was originally
professionally installed, Manufacturer will evaluate additional costs associated with any defective product and, at its
option, may choose to provide assistance. It may be necessary to engage a certified inspector to assess the reported issue(s). Manufacturer will determine if such engagement is necessary.
3. Manufacturer’s responsibility under these warranties only applies to hidden defects that were not visible before or
during the installation of the Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl flooring. Material installed with visible defects is considered accepted by the owner.
4. These warranties do not apply to Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl flooring that has been subject to abnormal use or
conditions or abused in any way. “Abnormal use or conditions” includes, but is not limited to, damage from plumbing or appliance leaks, storms, or floods; damage from smoke, fire, or other casualty events; and damage caused by negligence or improper alterations of the original manufactured product. “Abuse” is any use of the flooring that is unreasonable considering the normal and expected uses of Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl flooring in a residential or light commercial environment. These warranties apply only to indoor installations of flooring in dry and climatecontrolled conditions. The feet of furniture must always be covered with appropriate protective material. Chairs, sofas, or furniture with casters must be fitted with soft rubber wheels and placed on an adequate protective mat, or casters must be placed in protective caster cups.4
5. These warranties apply only to first quality Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl flooring purchases. Manufacturer is not
responsible for damages to the extent caused by a failure to install product in accordance with Pergo Extreme Luxury
Vinyl Flooring Installation Guide over approved substrates and underlayments or a failure to use the recommended
adhesives and seam bonds/sealers. The warranty period begins on the date of the original installation.
6. The Waterproof Warranty excludes damage to furniture, fixtures, walls, subfloors, moldings, trims, underlayments, radiant heating elements, or anything not related to Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl flooring. Any damage resulting from mold and mildew growth is not covered under the Waterproof Warranty.
7. The WetProtect Warranty excludes damage to furniture, fixtures, walls, moldings, trims, or radiant heating elements and excludes damage, including mold and mildew growth, from moisture originating underneath the installed floor or penetrating around the perimeter of the installation.
8. For pet-related issues, clean any affected area immediately. Any scratching and/or staining resulting from urine, feces, or vomit from anything other than a domestic pet is not covered under these warranties.
9. Walk-off mats must be placed at all exterior entrances to protect Pergo Extreme luxury vinyl flooring from soil, grit, deicers, asphalt sealers, and other contaminants capable of damaging the flooring. Suitable walk-off mats should
contain both soft and firm fibers to facilitate removal of wet or solid contaminants from shoe soles. An extra set of walk-off mats should be available for each entrance so the mats can be replaced and cleaned weekly during routine maintenance, or more often depending upon site and weather conditions.
This routine will prevent walk-off mats from becoming the source of tracked-on contaminants. Walk-off mats should
be large enough to allow adequate soil removal.
10. These warranties do not apply to damage from exposure to extreme heat or sunlight exposure, dryness, or stains as a result of chemical or industrial products (other than recommended cleaning products).
11. These warranties exclude damage caused by hydrostatic pressure (water or moisture under the floor that is
transmitted to the surface through exerted pressure) or other conditions related to water or moisture originating
below the floor.
12. Material must be checked carefully for defects before and during installation and under sufficient lighting. Products
with visible defects must not be installed under any circumstances. The retailer must be informed in writing of such
defects within 15 days. After this time has elapsed, no further claims will be accepted. Color and gloss issues resulting

from material added to an existing installation at a later date and non-warranty-related repairs are excluded
from coverage.
13. These warranties do not apply to gaps that are 1/16 inch (1.57mm) or larger or gaps around the perimeter/
fixed objects.
14. This warranty document is a legal document and sets out the sole obligations of Manufacturer, so please be sure to read this warranty document in full. No person, party, or entity is authorized to modify or extend the warranty without express permission of Manufacturer. These limited warranties give you specific legal rights and contain the entire scope of Manufacturer’s responsibilities, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
15. EXCEPT THOSE STATED IN THIS WARRANTY DOCUMENT, MOHAWK MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES — INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES5
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE — ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED AND THEREBY EXCLUDED. NO WARRANTIES — EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE — EXTEND BEYOND THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY DOCUMENT. CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL ,AND

MEASURED TO THE NEAREST WALL, DOORWAY, OR ENTRANCE. MOHAWK RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CORRECT ANY DEFECT PRIOR TO THE FLOORING BEING REMOVED OR REPLACED OR ANY SETTLEMENT BEING OFFERED.
By “implied warranties,” Manufacturer means warranties that the law presumes to have been given by the seller even though they are not set out
in writing. PLEASE NOTE: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to the original owner.
16. THESE LIMITED WARRANTIES CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES, AND NO WAIVER OR AMENDMENT SHALL BE VALID UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF MOHAWK.
Light Commercial Defined
Manufacturer warrants only first quality products for recommended light commercial use such as those outlined in the below Light Commercial Application Chart. Products will perform as warranted for the stated warranty period when installed in accordance with the Pergo Extreme Luxury Vinyl Flooring Installation Guide over approved substrates and underlayments, using the recommended adhesives if applicable.
• “Light commercial use” is defined as use in environments that do not experience normal to heavy commercial
traffic, such as those outlined in the Light Commercial Application Chart below. PLEASE NOTE, warranty
exclusions apply with respect to casters and other rolling loads due to the unusual characteristics of this type of
wheeled traffic.
• The intended applications include privately owned in-house businesses, such as daycare centers, doctor’s and
dentist’s offices, barber shops, and beauty salons. For questions regarding the type of use that is considered “light
commercial,” please contact Pergo Extreme Technical Services prior to purchase and installation.

CARE AND CLEANING
Preventative Maintenance
• Prevent indentations and scratches with the use of nonstaining floor protectors on the legs of chairs, appliances, and
all heavy furniture. Floor protectors should be at least one inch in diameter.
• Do not flood floor or subject to standing water.
• Protect your floor from tracked-in dirt by using mats at all outside entrances. Mats should have a nonrubberized
backing and be marked as nonstaining.

• Avoid high-heeled shoes on your floor, as they can cause permanent indentations.
• Protect your floors against burns. Burns from cigarettes, matches, or other extremely hot items can cause
permanent damage.

• Spills should be cleaned up immediately.
• Use a damp mop to remove loose dirt.
