Minnesota Granite & Marble
Residential Ten-Year Limited Warranty

Minnesota Granite & Marble warrants to you, the owner of the original installation of natural stone countertops, that upon the following terms and conditions, Minnesota Granite and Marble, at its option, will repair or replace, without charge, your natural stone countertops, provided that Minnesota Granite & Marble determines that the product has failed due to any defect in fabrication or installation during the first ten (10) years from the installation date. The warranty does not cover damage caused by physical, chemical or other abuse, normal wear and tear, and acts of nature, scratches or chips.

This warranty applies only to natural stone countertops fabricated and installed by Minnesota Granite & Marble.

This warranty applies to installation of natural stone countertops that have be permanently installed in private residences for countertop usage and that have not been moved from the original, permanent installation. This warranty does not apply to any other installations of granite.

This warranty applies to natural stone countertops purchased from and installed by Minnesota Granite & Marble after September 1, 2007, for owner-occupied residences only. Owner must register their natural stone countertop purchase within ninety (90) days from the date of installation by completing the Minnesota Granite & Marble Warranty Card delivered at the completion of the installation or mailed with the final invoice.

To obtain service under this limited warranty, you must contact Minnesota Granite & Marble at (651) 779-8612. To qualify for repair or replacement, you must provide the original Minnesota Granite & Marble invoice showing the original job number. The original job number is needed to verify the “history” of the job. You must permit a Minnesota & Granite & Marble authorized agent to inspect the installation of the product. You will reasonably cooperate with Minnesota Granite & Marble in its efforts to perform its obligations under this warranty. All decisions about defects in the fabrication or installation shall be made by Minnesota Granite & Marble and communicated to you in a timely manner. Whether Minnesota Granite & Marble performs repair or replacement of your installation, we will seek to obtain the best possible result. Since granite is created by nature, exact color match to the originally installed granite cannot be guaranteed.

If during or after installation, you decide that you do not approve of the material you selected or the natural color variations and veining of your installation, replacement is not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not cover the natural characteristics of stone, which include but are not limited to, color variations, water lines, fissures or surface pits and blemishes.

Two coats of natural stone sealer are applied to all Minnesota Granite & Marble natural stone countertops before the granite is installed. It is recommended that the consumer apply or have applied a long lasting seal every 3-5 years from installation. Natural stone is porous and may therefore result in staining. Food or liquid stains, damage caused by chemicals or physical use or abuse are expressly excluded within this warranty.

This warranty shall be null and void unless the natural stone countertops have been paid for in full.

This warranty covers seam performance but not the appearance of the seam. Seam failure due to settling or structural issues unrelated to the countertop installation, are no covered.

This warranty does not cover abnormal use or conditions or abuse in any way. “Abnormal use or conditions” includes, but is not limited to, damage from mishandling or misuse, damage from excessive heat or uneven exposure to weather conditions, physical or chemical abuse, and damage from ordinary wear and tear or scratches or ships. In addition, this warranty will not cover damage from vandalism, use of improper cleaning solutions or damage from the dropping of heavy objects on the countertops.

Minnesota Granite & Marble is not responsible for damage or injury caused in whole or in part by acts of God, job site conditions, architectural and engineering design, structural movement of settling, acts of vandalism, or accidents.

Minnesota Granite & Marble’s obligation under this warranty is limited solely to the repair or replacement of the countertop including necessary labor charges needed to repair or replace the natural stone countertops covered by this warranty. Minnesota Granite & Marble will repair any area of the installation that is determined by Minnesota Granite & Marble to be defective. Minnesota Granite & Marble will pay for the cost of the product, labor involved in the removal and replacement of the original installation of the natural stone countertops only and for plumbing and electrical disconnect and reconnect charges to the extent determined necessary by Minnesota Granite & Marble. You will be responsible for any other costs associated with or arising out of the repair or replacement. Should Minnesota Granite & Marble elect to replace your natural stone countertop installation, your warranty will continue from the original date of installation and not from the date of repair or replacement.

Except as provided in this limited warranty, Minnesota Granite & Marble shall not be liable in either tort or contract for any loss of direct, consequential or incidental damages arising out of the use or inability to use the product in residential applications covered by this warranty. Minnesota Granite & Marble makes no other warranty, representation or guarantee, express or implied, with respect to its products, except as expressly stated herein.
