FloorsPlus--Anyone used this LVP product?

Question

A small local floor retailer says FloorsPlus product, $4/sq ft is his store's high seller to DC condo owners. He only sells the product with
20 MIL wear layer. He installs for about $2.60/sq ft. The warranty (link below) only applies to refunding or replacing the product; is that typical? If a payout of a claim is deemed necessary because of an inferior product, it seems unfair that I as the buyer would have to bear the cost of ripping out the inferior product and the cost of re-installation. Another concern is that the distributer was only established in 2020. Should I be concerned that product made in China by a company specializing in laminate wall panels? Should I go with a more tried and true brand like LifeProof? TIA for your guidance!

Uhm yeah, why would a manufacturer of flooring warranty the work of a 3rd party installer that they have nothing to do with?

Thanks @Russell Brazil for taking the time to respond.  My question states when the product itself is at fault--not poor installation--why should I be expected to pay to rip it out and have re-installed?  The warranty itself says that if installation was determined to be the cause of the fail, that the manufacturer will not honor the warranty.  But I no longer need an answer to the warranty portion of my question.  I checked other warranties and replacement/refund cost of product only seems to be the standard.  LL actually goes further in the opposite direction:  it only offers a store credit, lol.
