by Owens Corning, to repair, replace or recover the affected AR shingles,
subject to certain limitations. We will not cover any underlayment, metalwork,
flashings or other related work, and we will not cover the cost to tear off or
dispose of your AR shingles. For purposes of this AR shingle warranty, the
term “repair” as used above refers to cleaning or otherwise removing any
blue-green algae growth from affected AR shingles. Decisions regarding
whether your AR shingles should be repaired, replaced or recovered will be
made solely by Owens Corning.
B. Proration—If your AR shingles have been installed longer than one (1) year,
labor will not be covered and we will prorate your Compensation to take
into account the number of full years of use that you have enjoyed from the
original installation date through the date of your claim. For example: If you
make your claim anytime in the fourth (4th) year of the AR warranty and
the AR warranty length is ten (10) years, our Compensation to you will be
reduced by 3/10ths of the reasonable material cost of the affected
Owens Corning
™
AR shingles (such cost not to exceed 7/10ths of the cost
at time of purchase of the Owens Corning
™
AR shingles).
Transferability of This Warranty (Note: Based on Original Installation Date)
You can transfer this warranty one (1) time, anytime during the life of the warranty.
For this warranty to be transferred, the new Owner must contact 1-800-ROOFIING
within sixty (60) days after the date of the real estate transfer to obtain the
benefits of this warranty. Proof of purchase of the Owens Corning
™
shingles and
the installation date must be submitted at the same time. If the transfer takes
place within the Tru PROtection Nonprorated period (see “Limited Warranty
Information Table”), the second Owner is entitled to the same coverage as the
original Owner. If the transfer occurs after the Tru PROtection Nonprorated period
(see “Limited Warranty Information Table”), the balance of this warranty
shall be reduced to a two (2) year period after the date of ownership change. If
there is a manufacturing defect that causes leaks during this two (2) year period,
our compensation to the second Owner will be based only on the reasonable cost
of replacement shingles reduced by the amount of use the second (2nd) Owner
and the original Owner have enjoyed from the original installation date through
the date of your claim. The AR Warranty Period and Wind Warranty Period are
fully transferrable. The second Owner will receive the balance of the coverage
outlined in the “Limited Warranty Information Table” based upon the original
installation date.
What Is Not Covered
Our warranty does not cover damage to the Owens Corning
™
shingles due to any
cause not expressly covered herein. After our shingles 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 shingles 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 (hurricanes) 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 flashings.
2. Damage to or failure of the shingles as a result of damage to or the failure of the
underlying roofing structure.
3. Foot traffic on your roof or damage caused by object(s) (e.g., tree branches)
falling on your roof.
4. Improper or faulty installation of your shingles—installation must be in
accordance with our written installation instructions and comply with local
building codes.
5. Shading, or variations in the color of your shingles, or discoloration caused
due to algae, fungi, lichen or cyanobacteria (unless covered under the section
“What About Algae Resistance” above).
6. Inadequate ventilation or roof drainage. Some exceptions may apply. If you have
questions, please contact us at 1-800-ROOFING.
7. Settlement of the structure of your property or buckling or cracking of the
deck over which your shingles are installed.
8. Leaks caused by pre-existing conditions, structural failures(s) or damaged
area(s) on or near the roof which are not part of the Roofing System such as
chimneys that have loose or cracked mortar, skylight seams, or soil pipe boots
allowing water to enter the structure or Roofing System.
9. Damage to the shingles caused by alterations made after completion of
application, including structural changes, equipment installation, power washing,
painting or the application of cleaning solutions, coatings, or other modifications.
10. Improper storage, handling or other conditions beyond our control.
11. Damages caused by, or the cost to repair or replace, any non-Owens Corning
™
shingles.
12. Improperly designed or installed gutter or downspout systems.
13. Any costs that you incur which are not authorized in advance by
Owens Corning.
Replacement Shingle Variations
As a result of our ongoing efforts to improve and enhance our shingle product
line, we must reserve the right to discontinue or modify our shingles, including their
colors. We are not liable to you if you make a warranty claim in the future and any
replacement shingles you receive vary in color either because of normal weathering
or changes in our product line. You should understand that if we replace any
of your shingles under this warranty, we reserve the right to provide you with
substitute shingles that are comparable only in quality and price to your original
shingles.
Compensation
Under the terms of this Limited Warranty on Roofing Shingles, the manner of
Compensation is at Owens Corning’s sole discretion and may be issued in the form
of cash settlement and/or material credit for Owens Corning
™
Products to an existing
supplier of Owens Corning
™
Roofing materials. All costs must be pre-approved by
Owens Corning. Note: The prorated material cost will be determined by the cost of
the shingles at the original time of purchase.
No Modifications to this Warranty
This warranty may not be changed or modified. No one, including any
representative or employee of Owens Corning and any representative or employee
of a contractor or installer has authority to assume any additional liability or
responsibility for Owens Corning or in any way modify or change this warranty.
