Appendix - DISCLOSURE STATEMENT FOR WOOD FLOORING (“DISCLOSURE STATEMENT”) PURCHASED FROM PID FLOORS Perfect Interior Design, Inc. d/b/a PID Floors (“PID”)

1. PRODUCT VARIATIONS

1.1 Wood is a natural product that contains variations throughout a single tree and between trees of the same species, and therefore between bundles, packages and/or boxes (collectively “Bundles”), within a plank, and from plank to plank. As such, wood flooring (“Wood Flooring”) will have variations (“Variations”), including, but not limited to, in color, tone, knots, heartwood, sapwood, grain, figure, pattern, texture, mineral streaks, discoloration, and other distinct natural features. In addition, the color and appearance of wood may shift over time, especially when exposed to UV and other light sources, including sun light. Additionally, the color of wood will vary based on the type of light it is viewed under, as well as the angle under which it is viewed. All wood product dimensions (such as thickness and width) may slightly vary.

1.2 There are many other variables (“Variables”) that can affect both the appearance and the performance of a Wood Flooring. These Variables have been organized in general groupings to help flooring professionals identify problems that can impact wood floors, including, but not limited to, wood distortion, wood aesthetics, sounds/ noises/movement, installation appearance, filler/putty, sanding aesthetics, color inconsistencies, finish aesthetics, and finish performance.

1.3 In placing an Order (“Order”) of Wood Flooring from PID, Purchaser acknowledges that Variations and Variables shall neither constitute non-conformance with the Order nor a breach by PID of the Order and Purchaser is agreeing that Purchaser will accept Variations and Variables.

1.4 In an attempt to minimize possible Variations and Variables in the installed Wood Flooring, Purchaser is advised to purchase a sufficient quantity of Wood Flooring, taking into account an allowance for waste as well as additional Wood Flooring for future repairs. In addition to the increased likelihood of Variations in a follow-up order (which potentially may be from a different production run), PID also makes no representation that a certain Wood Flooring or other material or products will be available in the future.

2. SAMPLES

Samples, pictures and images (collectively “Samples”) of Wood Flooring and any additional products furnished by PID, including, but not limited to, provided in its showroom, on its website or in any other form or medium, are only for purposes of illustration. No sample will contain all possible Variations which may be contained in a particular Order. A Sample may also represent Wood Flooring that has already shifted in color or contain

Variations, and will be different from the Wood Flooring included in an Order. Samples do not fully depict the entire range of characteristics and degree of Variations (nor Variables) which may be present in an Order. Therefore, PID makes no guarantee that the characteristics and appearance of the Wood Flooring in an Order will be identical to Samples or planks within a particular Bundle. Purchaser is advised to dry install wood floors from multiple and random Bundles in order to review the conformity of the delivered Goods.

3. ACCESSORIES AND COLOR MATCHED PRODUCTS

Some orders may include the purchase of accessory products (“Accessory Products”), such as moldings, stairs parts, floor vents and/or other “color-matched” products. All Accessory Products shall contain color Variations from the underlying Wood Flooring (and subject to Variables). PID is unable to guarantee color matches for Accessory Products.

4. PRODUCT CARE/ACCLIMATION

4.1 As per National Wood Flooring Association (“NWFA”) guidelines, Wood Flooring will perform best when the interior environment stays within a relative humidity of 35-55% and a temperature range of 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Purchaser and Purchaser’s installer should also confirm whether the manufacturer of the Wood Flooring has other or different guidelines relating to the Wood Flooring, which should then be followed. As Wood Flooring is primarily a natural product, it is prone to failing or decreased performance if these conditions are not maintained. Examples may include, but are not limited to, checking, splitting/cracking, gapping, delamination, cupping, crowning, buckling, lifting, etc. Wider planks or strips will experience more gapping than narrow planks or strips. PID is not liable for failure to adhere to the guidelines of the NWFA and/or the manufacturer(s) (collectively “Guidelines”).

4.2 Due to the natural properties of Wood Flooring, it is susceptible to expansion and contraction, and the properties will have differing effects based on the type on wood flooring and geographic region where the Wood Flooring is installed. To limit the effects of expansion and contraction, it is important that the Wood Flooring is installed in the appropriate region and application, and goes through the appropriate acclimation process prior to installation.

4.3 Prior to installation, in addition to confirming the manufacturer’s and other NWFA Guidelines, the Purchaser and the installer should complete the PID Floors Jobsite Checklist (See Article 12 below) . In order to facilitate timely processing of warranty claims, the Jobsite Checklist must be filled out in its entirety and submitted to checklists@pidfloors.com within thirty (30) days of completion of the PID floor installation. Purchaser must retain a copy of the PID Floors Jobsite Checklist in the event of a warranty claim. (subject to the provisions of the PID Terms (as defined).

4.4 When installing on a concrete or wood subfloor, the subfloor’s moisture content must be tested and meet NWFA’s and the manufacturer’s Guidelines. Wood Flooring should not be installed when the moisture content exceeds or potentially may exceed NWFA and/or the manufacturer’s Guidelines. Following installation, all subflooring must remain dry and within the moisture content levels acceptable for Wood flooring. If there is any potential moisture migration, appropriate moisture/vapor barriers must be used.

4.5 PID assumes no responsibility for the suitability of the Wood Flooring and any Accessory Products including, but not limited to, temperature, moisture, intended traffic and application, and geographic compatibility (collectively “Suitability”), and Purchaser should consult with their professional installer for such determinations. PID makes no representations and is not responsible for any issues arising from improper installation, storage or handling, or maintenance, nor damages of any nature or diminished performance due to the Suitability of the Wood Flooring and any Accessory Products, including, but not limited to, expansion or contraction of Wood Flooring.

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION

5.1 It is Purchaser’s responsibility to properly store, handle, install, maintain and protect the Wood Flooring in accordance with Guidelines of the manufacturer(s) and NWFA. Products that contain Oil or UV oil finishes will have special maintenance instructions.

5.2 Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood flooring can expose you to wood dust, a substance recognized to cause cancer. Appropriate personal protective equipment when installing and handling wood flooring.

5.3 The conditions of the jobsite, including but not limited to: the ambient temperature and relative humidity at the time of installation; proper storage and handling; complete evaluation and permanent recording of site conditions, including, but not limited to, moisture testing of the subfloor and flooring, acclimation of flooring to appropriate conditions, subfloor preparation, and flooring layout; milling, grade, color and gloss, scraping; proper installation methods; sufficient quantity of Wood Flooring on hand to complete the job, and jobsite cleanup. Decisions must be made at the installation site, and therefore must be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser and Purchaser’s installer.

6. SANDING AND REFINISHING

PID makes no representation as to the ability to repair any Wood Flooring, nor the number of times a particular Wood Flooring may be sanded and/or refinished. Water and Pet stains typically penetrate deep throughout Wood Flooring and will generally require replacement of planks and may also require replacement of the subfloor.

7. SCRATCHES AND DENTS

Wood Flooring is susceptible to scratching and denting by sharp and/or heavy objects. Purchaser is advised to use floor protectors on furniture as well as extreme care when dragging furniture or other items over Wood Flooring. Additionally, Wood Flooring is prone to damage from rolling or continuously moving objects, such as but not limited to, office chairs, dollies, baby strollers, wheelchairs, cribs, walkers and rocking chairs. Heals, cleats and other shoe soles may also scratch and dent floors. Heavily trafficked areas will experience faster and greater surface wear. Softer species of wood floors (such as Pine) will experience denting faster than harder species (such as Jatoba).

8. FLOATING FLOORS

Some Wood Flooring may be installed as floating floors. NWFA and manufacturer’s Guidelines should be consulted during all installations. Additionally, placing large, heavy or permanently mounted objects on a floating floor will affect the floor’s ability to expand and contract during seasonal changes and may cause separation and other forms of failure.

9. RADIANT FLOOR HEATING

Unless otherwise specifically noted by the manufacturer, it is not advisable to install Wood Flooring over radiant floor heating. You should also consult your professional installer prior to installing Wood Flooring over radiant floor heating.

10. LIMITATIONS

10.1 This Disclosure Statement is deemed incorporated into and made part of the PID’s separate Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), as well as all other PID Documents generated as part of the Purchaser’s Order, including, but not limited to, a Quote, Invoice and/or Purchase Order (as all such terms are defined in the PID’s Terms).

10.2 For conflicts or inconsistencies between or among the various PID Documents, the Terms should be reviewed as to which of PID Documents shall govern and take precedence. For technical conflicts between or among the Guidelines of the manufacturer(s) and NWFA, generally the more specific and stringent Guidelines should be followed. In addition, your professional installer should be consulted in the event any such conflicts or inconsistencies exist.

10.3 This Disclosure Statement does not encompass all of the issues that may arise relating to Wood Flooring, including, but not limited to, the purchase, storing, installation, maintenance and care of Flooring.

10.4 PID makes no representation as to the Suitability of any Wood Flooring or Accessory Product. Unless otherwise specifically provided in writing as part of Purchaser’s Order, PID is not providing any warranties and guarantees.

11. PURCHASER COMPLAINTS (“COMPLAINTS”)

If a Purchaser wants to have a Complaint about a product or a warranty claim (if applicable) they must agree to the following:

11.1 The standard for evaluation is based on viewing Wood Flooring within the scope of NWFA Guidelines (or of the manufacturer’s, if any) in order to determine acceptability:

(a) Evaluation of Wood Flooring must be observed from a standing position on the floor being assessed;

(b) Evaluation of Wood Flooring must be conducted with ambient lighting. Glare from a direct light source must not be used during evaluation; and

(c) Inspection by an NWFA Certified Wood Floor Inspector may be conducted to determine cause, which may include examination of the flooring system carefully and critically. Inspection may take place from floor level, with assistance of magnification, and/or through destructive testing in order to determine cause of irregularities, but not necessarily to determine acceptability.

11.2 Evaluating Variations and Variables must be done in accordance with and by the NWFA Guidelines (or the manufacturer’s, if any), and the Purchaser must accept industry standards that are generally accepted, whether formally in writing or not. If a Purchaser disagrees with PID representative’s analysis and/or conclusion from an evaluation the only recourse they have is to hire an NWFA certified inspector (at Purchaser’s cost and expense) who does a thorough, impartial, and objective inspection of a Complaint and/or any other an issue. PID will only honor, respond to and/or answer a Complaint that has followed this procedure, and without following this procedure a Complaint shall be deemed null and void.

11.3 PID’s responding to any Purchaser Complaint does not constitute an acknowledgement of any liability or responsibility for any condition and/or situation relating to the Complaint, nor does it deem to contradict the provisions of PID’s Terms (into which this Disclosure Statement is deemed to be incorporated).
