- This warranty does not cover any fabrication work that was not completed by an Ultima Global, LLC., Certified Fabricator.
- This warranty does not cover any failures due to the fabricators or installers work. Fabricators, including Ultima Global, LLC., Certified Fabricators, are professionals who operate their business completely independent of Ultima Global, LLC. Ultima Global LLC., is not responsible for any action or omission of fabricators/installers. Therefore, any failures resulted from fabrication and/or installation are the sole responsibility of the fabricator and/or installer. If you have complaints of this kind, please contact the fabricator/installer who you engaged to perform the work.

- This warranty does not cover seam appearance or seam performance, adhesives, caulk, or other accessory items. Once the product is installed, the two main reasons for seam separation or cracking are the shifting or movement of the substrate, cabinets or foundation, and thermal shock. Thermal shock can occur when a hot pan, dish or other receptacle or object is left on the countertop for more than a brief period. Trivets or hot pads should always be used. These issues are not considered material defects and are subject to proper care and maintenance by the owner.

- This warranty does not cover the altering of any factory applied finish. Any issues arising from the practice of “in-shop” honing are the sole responsibility of the fabricator.
- This warranty does not cover temporary marks such as metal marks, fingerprints, or other signs of daily living. This includes, but is not limited to, marks that are common to finishes other than Polished finishes. Finishes other than Polished, such as Honed, or Leathered, are more susceptible to showing everyday marks and spills, and therefore may require more routine cleaning.
- This warranty does not cover additional modifications such as plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinets, flooring, etc. that may be necessary to repair or replace the Ultima Global product covered under this warranty.
- This warranty does not cover natural variations in the color, size, shape, and distribution of the pattern of the natural quartz or the natural variations in background tone.
