Ridge Cap Shingles (“Ridge Cap Shingles”) from GAF-Elk Corporation (“GAF-Elk”), North America’s largest

roofing manufacturer—your best and safest choice. While many factors can affect how long your Ridge Cap Shingles will last, this Smart Choice

Ridge Cap Shingle Limited Warranty covers your Ridge Cap Shingles in the unlikely event that they contain a manufacturing defect. It provides

great coverage that is “non-prorated” during the crucial up-front period of your ownership (the “Smart Choice

Protection Period”) with continued

coverage for extended periods of time afterwards.

Who Is Covered by This Limited Warranty

You are covered by this warranty if you live in the United States or Canada and are the original property owner/consumer (i.e., not a builder or

installer) or the first subsequent owner if this warranty was properly transferred.

This Limited Warranty may be transferred only once. The second owner must notify GAF-Elk in writing within 60 days after the property transfer

for warranty coverage to be transferred. (Other than this one transfer, this warranty may not be transferred or assigned, directly or indirectly.) If

the transfer takes place within the Smart Choice

Protection Period, the second owner is entitled to the same coverage as the original owner. If

the transfer takes place afterwards, the length of this warranty shall be reduced to the two-year period after ownership changes. If there is a defect

during this two-year period, GAF-Elk’s reimbursement to the second owner will be based only on the reasonable cost of replacement Ridge Cap

Shingles, reduced by the amount of use that has been received from the Ridge Cap Shingles from date of installation.

Manufacturing Defects: What Is Covered/Sole and Exclusive Remedy

GAF-Elk warrants that your Ridge Cap Shingles will remain free from manufacturing defects that (a) adversely affect their performance during the

Smart Choice

Protection Period or (b) cause leaks for the remainder of the warranty term. Note: Shingle blow-off/wind damage/failure to seal, and

algae discoloration are covered separately below.

During the Smart Choice

Protection Period (see Tables 1A and 1B), GAF-Elk will pay you the full reasonable cost of labor to repair or replace

any defective Ridge Cap Shingles (excluding underlayments, metal work, or flashings) and will provide replacement Ridge Cap Shingles or the

reasonable cost of obtaining replacement Ridge Cap Shingles, at GAF-Elk’s option. GAF-Elk will not pay to tear off your Ridge Cap Shingles or to

dispose of them.

After the Smart Choice

Protection Period ends, labor will no longer be covered. GAF-Elk’s contribution to you will be based on either providing

you with replacement Ridge Cap Shingles or, at GAF-Elk’s choice, reimbursing you for the reasonable cost of obtaining replacement Ridge Cap

Shingles. The amount of Ridge Cap Shingles or the reimbursement provided to you will be adjusted to reflect the use you have received from your

Ridge Cap Shingles, based on the number of months that have elapsed since the Ridge Cap Shingles were installed. For Ridge Cap Shingles that

carry a “lifetime” warranty term, the proration factors in Table 2 will apply.
