Owens Corning Rooﬁ ng and Asphalt Limited Warranty on VentSure

Ventilation Products

Introduction

Thank you for your recent purchase of Owens Corning VentSure

ventilation products. We believe we manufacture the highest

quality and most attractive ventilation product(s) available

anywhere, and that is why we stand behind them with one of the

best warranties in the industry. We have attempted to write this

warranty in clear, plain-English terms, including the limitations

and restrictions, so you will fully understand the warranty we are

making to you. However, if anything in this warranty is not clear to

you, please visit our Web site at www.owenscorning.com. Or call us

at 1-800-ROOFING.

Who is Covered

If you live in the United States or Canada and you are the original

consumer purchaser, (i.e., the homeowner, not the installer or

contractor) of one of our VentSure ventilation products listed below,

you are entitled to the beneﬁ ts of this warranty.

Transferability of the Warranty

This warranty is personal to you and may not be transferred to any

subsequent purchasers of your home.

How Long are You Covered

The duration of your warranty depends upon the type of VentSure

ventilation product(s) you have purchased. See the chart at the end

of this warranty for the speciﬁ c warranty period that applies to your

VentSure ventilation product(s).

What is Covered

We warrant that your VentSure ventilation products are free from

any manufacturing defects that materially affect their performance

on your roof.

What is Not Covered

Damage to the product due to any cause not expressly covered

herein. After our VentSure ventilation products leave our

manufacturing facility, they are subjected to conditions and

handling beyond our control that could affect their performance.

This warranty does not cover any problems with nondefective

VentSure ventilation products caused by conditions or handling

beyond our control.

Some examples of conditions not covered by this warranty include:

1. Acts of God, such as hail, strong storms or winds over the

maximum windspeed listed in the chart at the end of this

warranty, or ice damming above the area covered by leak

barriers or above ﬂ ashings.

2. Damage to or failure of the VentSure ventilation products as

a result of damage to or the failure of the underlying rooﬁ ng

structure.

3. Foot trafﬁ c on your roof or damage caused by object(s) (i.e., tree

branches) falling on your roof.

4. Improper or faulty installation of your VentSure ventilation

products—installation must be in accordance with our written

installation instructions and comply with local building codes.

5. Inadequate ventilation or roof drainage. Some exceptions may apply.

If you have questions, please contact us at 1-800-ROOFING.

6. Settlement of the structure of your property or buckling or cracking

of the deck over which your VentSure ventilation products are

installed.

7. Damage to the VentSure ventilation products caused by alterations

made after completion of application, including structural changes,

equipment installation, painting or the application of cleaning

solutions, coatings, or other modiﬁ cations.

8. Improper storage, handling or other conditions beyond our control.

9. Damages caused by, or the cost to repair or replace, any non-Owens

Corning VentSure ventilation products.

10. Improperly designed or installed gutter or downspout systems.

11. Any costs that you incur which are not authorized in advance by

Owens Corning.

What is Your Remedy

1. Manufacturing Defects – If the performance of your VentSure

ventilation product(s) is ever materially affected during the term of

this warranty by a manufacturing defect, we will pay you the cost

(excluding labor), as reasonably determined by Owens Corning,

to repair or replace the product, or give a cash refund equal to

replacement material cost.

2. Proration of Your Remedy – If your VentSure ventilation

product(s) carry a warranty of more than one (1) year and have

been installed longer than twelve (12) months, we will take into

account the number of months of use you have enjoyed through the

date of your claim, and reduce the amount of our payment to you

accordingly. That is, we will prorate the amount of your payment

though the date of your claim. For example: If you have a 20-year

warranty (240 months) and you make your claim in the last month

of the 5th year of the warranty (i.e., the 60th month), we will pay you

180/240ths of the reasonable cost to repair or replace your VentSure

ventilation product(s).

3. Alternative Remedy – There may be certain circumstances

where Owens Corning will elect to provide you with replacement

VentSure ventilation product(s) rather than providing you with the

payment as described above. Therefore, we reserve the right to

provide such replacement VentSure ventilation product(s) as an

alternative remedy at our sole reasonable discretion.

Replacement Product Variations

As a result of our ongoing efforts to improve and enhance our product

line, we must reserve the right to discontinue or modify our product,

including their colors. We are not liable to you if you make a warranty

claim in the future and any replacement VentSure ventilation product(s)

you receive vary in color either because of normal weathering or

changes in our VentSure ventilation product line. You should understand

that if we replace any of your VentSure ventilation product(s) under this

warranty, we reserve the right to provide you with substitute VentSure

ventilation product(s) that are comparable only in quality and price to

your original VentSure ventilation product(s).

Claims Process

To make a claim under this warranty, you need to do so within

thirty (30) days after you discover the problem. Just call us at

1-800-ROOFING. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to

write us at Owens Corning, Customer Response Center, One
