6. Limited Warranty and Limitations on Remedies. ANCHOR BLOCK COMPANY LIMITED WARRANTY With respect to all its products except retaining wall blocks and lock bars sold under the “Anchor Wall Systems” and “AWS” brands (which are covered by a separate warranty from Anchor Wall Systems, Inc.), Anchor Block Company (“Seller”) warrants that at the time of its delivery of its products, its products conform to any ASTM specification then applicable to the particular product. This warranty extends to all persons in the original chain of distribution from the manufacturer to the owner of the property when and where the products are first installed. Because Seller’s products are manufactured using mined materials, there may be color variations in products from the same manufacturing run as well as in products from different runs. In addition, efflorescence may result from the naturally occurring chemical reaction between the product and the air around it. Accordingly, no guarantee of color shades is made or implied. In addition, minor imperfections in shape, appearance or dimensions are not considered to be defects in material or workmanship. The warranty is voided with respect to any blocks that have been damaged due to handling, wall design, installation, contact with chemicals (such as deicers), earth shifts or acts of God.
All requests for warranty service should be directed to: [Seller’s Department and address]. Seller’s exclusive liability for any breaches of warranty is limited to supplying replacement products to the job site, at no charge for the products or delivery. Under no circumstances does Seller have any obligation to remove non-conforming products or to install the replacement products. If Seller is unable or fails to supply replacement products when obligated to do so, Seller’s entire liability is limited to refunding the purchase price. These remedies are the purchaser’s exclusive remedies for any breach of warranty and these remedies will not be deemed to have failed of their essential purpose so long as Seller is willing and able to replace any non-conforming products or to refund the purchase price.
FOR TRANSACTIONS IN WHICH THE PRODUCTS ARE NOT CONSUMER PRODUCTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT, SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.

This exclusion applies even if the remedy set forth above is deemed to have failed of its essential purpose.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

This warranty extends to all persons in the original chain of distribution from the manufacturer to the owner of the property when and where the products are first installed. Because the blocks are manufactured using mined materials, there may be color variations in these products from the same manufacturing run as well as in products from different runs. In addition, efflorescence may result from the naturally occurring chemical reaction between the product and the air around it. Accordingly, no guarantee of color shades is made or implied. In addition, minor imperfections in shape, appearance or dimensions are not considered to be defects. The warranty with respect to lock bars is voided if the lock bars are subjected to prolonged exposure to ultra violet light, temperatures in excess of 150° Fahrenheit or petroleum-based solvents. The warranty with respect to blocks is voided if the blocks have been damaged due to handling, wall design, installation, contact with chemicals (such as deicers), earth shifts, or Acts of God.

This exclusion applies even if the remedy set forth above is deemed to have failed of its essential purpose.
Some states (and some Canadian provinces) do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
