iFLOOR Add To Warranty

Have you been looking at getting new flooring? I will admit I have never considered purchasing flooring online. How ever, as I learn more and more about the internet I can say there are high quality products available online for great prices.

iFLOOR has a great selection of hardwood, laminate, bamboo, cork, carpet, tile and vinyl flooring. They also provide information on everything you will need to know when selecting the right flooring for your home. For example, they assist you with flooring terminology and specifications. As well as step-by-step directions on how to install your flooring yourself.

Reportedly, there have been a growing number of warranty claims being denied for online buyers. Due to this iFlOOR is adding up to $1,000,000 of warranty protection for all their customers. In return, iFlOOR reserves the right to seek legal justice on behalf of their customers.

They have written:



iFLOOR, America's largest online flooring retailer, today announced a $1,000,000 limited warranty designed to protect its customers from predatory manufacturer policies that exclude warranty coverage from online purchases.

The policy, which goes into effect immediately, offers up to one million dollars of coverage in the event that a customer's warranty claim is denied specifically because they made their purchase online. It is complimentary for every iFLOOR customer, and protects the buyer under the same terms as the original product warranty.

iFLOOR, Inc. CEO, Steve Simonson, came up with the program to combat "scare tactics" used by manufacturers of hardwood floors and laminate flooring. "Their idea is to discourage you from buying at a discount!" wrote Simonson in his blog "It's About Flooring". "This is not right! You deserve to save money! So we're going to take care of this problem once and for all."

And it would appear that federal law is on his side. Section 108 of the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Act, states that, "In general, tie-in sales provisions are not allowed. Such a provision would require a purchaser of the warranted product to buy an item or service from a particular company to use with the warranted product in order to be eligible to receive a remedy under the warranty."

Under iFLOOR's new warranty, a key provision allows for iFLOOR to "seek justice" on behalf of the customer in the event of legal action. According to Simonson, "I'm putting iFLOOR's money where my mouth is."
