Warranty Guide
on your claim, your claim may be denied. Owens Corning shall have a
reasonable time after notification of a claim to inspect the roof. If requested
by Owens Corning, the owner shall provide Owens Corning with reasonable
access to the roof, during normal business hours, for the purpose of
conducting an inspection of the roofing products.
No Modifications to This Warranty
The terms of this warranty may not be waived or modified (whether by a
statement, omission, course of dealing or any act), except by a writing signed
by an officer of Owens Corning or a licensed attorney in the Owens Corning
legal department or by the Owens Corning Technical Inspection Leader.
Other than such an officer, attorney or technical inspection leader, nobody
(regardless of whether an Owens Corning employee, a contractor, an installer
or otherwise) has authority to act on behalf of Owens Corning (for example
to waive or modify this warranty, to make representations or warranties or
to undertake any liability). This warranty represents the entire agreement
between the parties and replaces all other communications, warranties,
representations and guarantees.
Mandatory Arbitration
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Owens Corning and you agree to
arbitrate all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this warranty or
Owens Corning
®
shingles (“Dispute”). This warranty evidences a transaction
in interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the
interpretation and enforcement of this provision. A party who intends to seek
arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice
of intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to Owens Corning should be
addressed to: One Owens Corning Parkway, Toledo, Ohio 43659 (“Arbitration
Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the
claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If
the parties do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days
after Notice is
received, you or Owens Corning may commence an arbitration
proceeding. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of
this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of this warranty.
The arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution
Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related
Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”), as modified by this warranty, and shall be administered by the AAA.
YOU AND OWENS CORNING HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY.
The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party
seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by
that party's individual claim.
YOU AND OWENS CORNING MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE
OTHER ONLY IN EACH PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND
NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED
CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Further, you agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings of
more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form
of a representative or class proceeding.
Governing Law and Forum
This warranty and all Disputes are governed by United States Federal laws
and laws of Ohio. Subject to the “Arbitration” provision in this warranty, if there
are any Disputes that cannot be arbitrated, then the parties consent to the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Ohio with
respect to such Disputes.
Savings and Severability
To the extent that this warranty is inconsistent with applicable law, this
warranty is hereby modified to be consistent with such applicable law. If
an arbitrator or court determines that any term in this warranty is illegal
or unenforceable, the parties intend for the arbitrator or court to interpret
or modify this warranty to effect the original intent of the parties as
closely as possible while rendering the term and this warranty fully legal
and enforceable. If a term in this warranty cannot be rendered legal and
enforceable accordingly, the parties intend for the arbitrator or court to sever
the illegal or unenforceable term from this warranty, leaving the remainder of
this warranty enforceable.
