   • Improper installation, misuse, neglect, or failure to maintain.
   • Cosmetic changes such as minor surface rust, chalking, or fading within industry tolerance.

7. Definition of “Lifetime”

   Customers purchasing DIY kits through online order, telephone order, or in-person transactions are responsible for inspecting all materials at the time of pickup from our facility or immediately upon delivery from shipping carriers.
   • Any missing, damaged, or visibly defective materials must be reported to Backwoods Buildings & Truss, LLC before leaving the pickup location or at the time of delivery receipt.
   • If delivery is made via third-party carrier, all shipments must be inspected in the presence of the driver, and any damage or shortages must be clearly noted on the bill of lading or delivery receipt before signing.
   • Backwoods Buildings must be notified immediately of such issues, and supporting photos and documentation may be required.
   • Failure to inspect and report issues at the time of pickup or delivery will void all related claims. Once materials leave our custody without exception noted, responsibility for missing or damaged items transfers to the customer.
