Where a product has no program line, the 10-year product warranty in Part 1 applies. The Warranty Program is separate from the product warranty and does not reduce it. The term that applies to each product on a project is recorded on its Warranty Certificate.
This U.S. edition does not cover products that are not listed above, or OriGen products purchased outside the United States.
Part 1 — Warranty Certificate and General Conditions
For each project, a Warranty Certificate records the beneficiary, the project address and dates, the applicator, the distributor and, for each product, the color, batch (lot) number, quantity applied, minimum quantity and warranty term in years. Under the Warranty Certificate, Naturmatt will replace, and bear the cost of, the product needed to repair damage caused by manufacturing defects in the products listed on it. To request a Warranty Certificate for your project, write to support@origenpaints.com.
1. Warranty
Naturmatt Smart Material, S.L. (“OriGen”), manufacturer of OriGen paints, mortars and coatings, warrants the product to the Beneficiary identified on the Warranty Certificate, in the territory where the work was carried out, for 10 years from the date of application against any deterioration caused by a manufacturing defect. During that period, this warranty covers replacement of the product for the damaged surface.
2. Application
The product must be applied according to its Technical Data Sheet (TDS), on the substrates for which it is suitable, and with the cleaning, repair and preparation work that each surface requires, as prescribed by OriGen’s technical experts.
3. Essential requirements
- For this Warranty Certificate to be valid, the complete documentation, signed and stamped by the parties, must be sent within one month of the date the certificate is issued, by e-mail to support@origenpaints.com or by mail to NaturMatt USA LLC, Attn: Technical Department, 837 Blackhorse Trl, Justin, TX 76247.
- False or tampered information, a missing signature of any of the parties, or a missing OriGen stamp voids this warranty.
- The Warranty Certificate must be presented with any claim, together with the purchase invoice (or receipt) for the product. Claims must be made no later than 30 days after the defect or deterioration covered by this warranty appears.
- The warranty is suspended while the contractor or the beneficiary of the warranty, in the broadest sense, has overdue payments owed to OriGen.
4. Insurance
The OriGen warranty is backed by a Reale Seguros insurance policy covering up to €300,000 in civil (third-party) liability.
5. Responsibility of the applicator and/or distributor
OriGen will carry out an independent quality process during and at the end of the work, in order to warrant the work and rule out liability on the part of the applicator. Depending on the report issued, compensation for the damage caused to the Beneficiary will then be the responsibility of one party or the other.
6. Exclusions
This warranty is void in the following cases:
- Force majeure: earthquakes, fires, wars, storms, floods and lightning.
- Use of the product for purposes other than those for which it is intended.
- Deterioration of the product caused by structural cracks or by movement of the underlying layers of the substrate.
- Water and moisture entering through cracks, fissures or construction defects that affect the substrate or the bond of the product.
- Poor adhesion due to defects in the substrate or in previously applied products.
- Impact, mechanical damage or reactions with non-OriGen products present on the substrate and, in general, any damage caused by factors unrelated to the quality of the product.
- Loss of color intensity or brightness caused by pollution, dirt, atmospheric agents and natural aging over time.
- Rising damp (capillary moisture) at the base of walls, in planters, or on surfaces adjoining other buildings.
- Attack caused by a high salt content in the substrate, or by insufficient setting of the substrate, that may degrade the binder or stain the color.
