Who Is Covered
Owens Corning warrants its Product to the original consumer purchaser (i.e., the homeowner, not the installer or contractor) who lives in the United
States or Canada.
Transferability of This Warranty
This warranty is personal to you and may not be transferred to any subsequent purchaser of your home.
How Long Are You Covered
This warranty remains in effect for a period of thirty (30) years following installation.
What Is Covered
We warrant that the Product will be free from any manufacturing defects that will result in roof leaks.
What Is Not Covered
Damage to the Product due to any cause not expressly covered herein. After the Product leaves the manufacturing facility, it is subjected to conditions
and handling beyond our control that could affect its performance. This warranty does not cover any problems with non-defective Product 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 storms;
2. Foot traffic on your roof or damage caused by objects (such as tree branches) falling on your roof or by vandalism;
3. Improper or faulty installation (installation must be in accordance with our latest written installation instructions);
4. Metal work or other materials not furnished by Owens Corning and used in the roofing system resulting in leaks;
5. Damage by any chemical condition not disclosed to Owens Corning, or traffic or storage of materials or infiltration of condensation or moisture in,
through or around the walls, coping, building structure of the underlying or surrounding areas;
6. Inadequate attic ventilation or lack of positive, proper or adequate roof drainage. If you have any questions about appropriate ventilation
requirements, please contact us at 1

7. Settlement of the structure of your home, or buckling or cracking of the deck or substrate over which your Product is installed;
8. Damage caused by alterations or repairs made after completion of application, including structural changes, equipment installation, painting or the

utilities, antennas, air conditioning equipment, and solar collectors);

11. Inadequate roof drainage. No ponding water may be evident 48 hours after a rainfall; or

What Is Your Remedy
If at any time during the thirty (30) year warranty period the Product allows leaking due to a manufacturing defect, Owens Corning will contribute to the cost of
either repairing or replacing your Product, as its sole option or as its sole obligation to you, subject to the following limitations:
During the first ten (10) years following installation, our liability under this warranty shall be limited, at our sole discretion, to repairing or replacement of your
Product or a refund equal to the cost of replacement of the Product, excluding cost of labor.
During years eleven (11) through thirty (30) following installation, our liability shall be limited, at our sole discretion, to repairing or replacement of the
Product or a refund equal to the cost of replacement of the Product, excluding the cost of labor, subject to proration as calculated by the formula set forth
below.
The proration formula takes into account the number of months of use you have enjoyed through the date of your claim and reduces a refund for cost of
replacement accordingly. That is, we will prorate the amount of your payment through the date of your claim. The Product has a 30-year warranty (360
months). Thus, if you make a claim in the last month of the 11th year of the warranty (i.e., the 132nd month), the warranty refund amount would equal
228/360ths of the cost of replacement of the Product, excluding the cost of labor.
