Warranty Terms

Learn about the coverage conditions, terms, responsibilities, and recommendations that apply to Arkos Brasil products.

Warranty 10 years*
General information

Security and support for purchased products

01

General provisions

This Warranty Statement is provided by Arkos Brasil to the consumer identified on the sales invoice, and its purpose is to ensure support for the purchased product, under the terms and limits described herein.

This is a contractual warranty, complementary to the statutory warranty provided for in the Consumer Defense Code (Law No. 8,078/1990). It extends consumer protection and does not exclude, replace, or reduce the rights already guaranteed by law, including the statutory deadlines for claiming defects (30 days for non-durable goods and 90 days for durable goods - Art. 26 of the CDC).

02

Warranty period by product

The contractual warranty period is counted from the issue date of the sales invoice. In the case of a latent defect, the statutory claim period is counted from the moment the defect becomes evident (Art. 26, §3, of the CDC).

Warranty conditions

Coverage, claims, and responsibilities

See below for the conditions applicable to the warranty of products sold by Arkos Brasil.

03

What the warranty covers

The warranty covers manufacturing defects and flaws in the product, understood as:

  • Failures in the intrinsic quality of the material;
  • Manufacturing defects, whether apparent or latent, that render the product unfit or unsuitable for its intended use, or diminish its value;
  • Failures in durability under use that do not conform to the product’s technical data sheet;
  • Performance below that specified, taking into account the intended use previously informed by the consumer.

Validity condition: coverage assumes that the installation, maintenance, and use of the product have complied with the installation manual and technical data sheet provided by Arkos.

04

How the warranty claim process works

  1. Request: the consumer submits the request through the official warranty channel or an alternative support channel (customer service/email), providing the invoice and, to speed up the review, photos, videos, and any other evidence of the product and installation
  2. Technical analysis: Arkos analyzes the issue and, when necessary, carries out tests and/or repairs to determine the nature and cause of the defect;
  3. Technical report: once the analysis is complete, Arkos issues a technical report within [30] days, approving or denying warranty coverage;
  4. Resolution: once the manufacturing defect is acknowledged, Arkos will repair or replace the product with an identical or similar one.
05

Timeframes and resolution options

Resolution timeframes

As a rule, the defect will be remedied within 30 days from the approval of the report (Art. 18, §1, of the CDC). When replacement depends on manufacturing and/or importing the product, this period may be extended, by express agreement between the parties, to up to 150 days from the approval of the report, never exceeding the statutory limit of 180 days (Art. 18, §2, of the CDC).

Consumer options

Whenever replacement cannot be completed within 30 days, the consumer may choose, at their convenience and under Art. 18, §1, of the CDC, between: (a) waiting for the replacement within the extended period; (b) receiving a similar available product; or (c) obtaining a refund of the amount paid, adjusted for inflation, or a proportional price reduction.

06

What the warranty does not cover

The warranty does not apply when the problem does not result from a manufacturing defect, notably in the following cases:

6.1. Installation, use, or maintenance failure

  • Installation not in accordance with the manual and technical data sheet, when this is the proven cause of the problem;
  • : Use of the product for a purpose or under conditions other than those recommended, or not previously disclosed to Arkos;
  • Failure to follow the maintenance recommendations set out in this Statement.

6.2. External damage and force majeure

Damage that does not result from the product is not covered, such as:

  • Floods, flooding, and landslides;
  • Fires
  • Vandalismo
  • Impacts and collisions of objects against the product;
  • Earthquakes and other natural events;
  • Other unforeseeable events or force majeure.

: 6.3. Transportation and handling after delivery

When Arkos handles the delivery, it is responsible for the product’s integrity until it is actually delivered to the consumer. From that point on, damage caused by improper handling, transportation, or storage by the consumer or by third parties hired by them is not covered by the warranty, as it does not constitute a manufacturing defect (e.g., a product received intact and later scratched during handling).

Delivery inspection: we recommend that the consumer inspect the product upon receipt and report any visible damage within 7 days. This period is intended for reporting visible transport/handling damage and does not affect the statutory warranty for defects (30 or 90 days, as applicable - Art. 26 of the CDC) or the contractual warranty for manufacturing defects.

6.4. Other exclusions

  • Costs of materials used in installation and third-party labor;
  • Natural variations in appearance within the limits of applicable technical standards, resulting from the manufacturing process.

Disclaimer: no provision of this Statement excludes the liability of Arkos and the manufacturer for damages actually caused by a product defect (Arts. 12, 13, and 25 of the CDC).

07

Installation and maintenance recommendations

To preserve the product’s warranty and durability, we recommend:

Before you begin

  • Read the technical data sheet and installation instructions before starting;
  • Inspect the product upon receipt and immediately report any visible damage, so that replacement can be arranged;
  • Do not knock the pieces during unloading; carry them securely, protecting the edges;
  • When moving the pieces, lift them carefully, one at a time, preventing them from sliding against one another;
  • Do not drag tools or equipment across the surface of the boards during work.

Cleaning and maintenance

  • Keep the surface free of debris and protect the product to prevent deterioration;
  • Immediately remove any spilled substances; if abrasive, dampen with warm water and dry with a soft cloth, without rubbing;
  • Perform periodic cleaning with an environmentally friendly cleaning product;
  • Preferably clean in the early morning or at night, when the surface is cool, preventing products from drying or evaporating on the board;
  • If using pressure washing, observe the maximum pressure of 1,500 psi and safety measures;
  • Never use abrasive materials; periodically check the effectiveness of the floor’s water drain.
08

Alignment with the Consumer Defense Code

This Statement is governed by the Consumer Defense Code. In case of doubt regarding the interpretation of any clause, the interpretation most favorable to the consumer shall prevail (Art. 47 of the CDC). The rights provided herein are in addition to, and never override, the consumer’s statutory rights.

09

Data protection (LGPD)

The photos, videos, and data provided by the consumer to claim the warranty will be processed exclusively for the analysis and handling of the warranty request, in accordance with Law No. 13,709/2018 (LGPD).
