Product(s) is originally installed (“Owner”).
B. Warranty. KP Building Products (“Manufacturer”) warrants
that (a) the Product vinyl siding components will remain free from
peeling, flaking, rusting, blistering or rotting (“Nonconformities”);
(b) that the adhesive bond between the vinyl siding and the foam
backer will be free of defects in materials and workmanship; and (c)

MANUFACTURER’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5 BELOW.
C. Hail Damage: In the event of damage by hail the Owner should
report the damage to his or her homeowners insurance company
to pursue coverage under a homeowners insurance policy. To
the extent Product(s) damaged by hail is not covered by the
homeowner’s insurance policy, the Manufacturer warrants to the
Owner that it will provide replacement material only for the damaged
Product(s). The Owner shall be responsible for the payment of
all installation, labor, freight costs, and for the purchase of any
additional siding intended to replace undamaged Product(s).
D. Claims Periods. If the original purchaser of the Product(s) is an
individual, claims relating to the Product(s) vinyl siding components
may be made at any time during that original purchaser’s lifetime.
If the original purchaser of the Product(s) is not an individual, the
claims period shall be deemed to be 50 years from the installation

shall be five years from the installation date. The claims period
for any claims relating to the foam backing shall be twenty years
from the installation date. The warranty period for any Product(s)
repaired or replaced under this Warranty shall be equal to the
remaining warranty period applicable to any Product(s) originally
installed on the residence.
2. Warranty Transfer
This warranty, except for the hail damage warranty in Section 1C
may be transferred to the subsequent owner of the residence where
the Product(s) has been installed if the Manufacturer is notified of
change in ownership within ninety (90) days of the change. Failure
to notify the Manufacturer of change in ownership shall relieve the
Manufacturer of all further obligation hereunder. Upon change
in ownership of the residence where the products were originally
installed and the Manufacturer’s receipt of timely notice of change
of ownership, the claims period on Product(s) vinyl components
shall be fixed at fifty (50) years from the date of original installation.
