THE WARRANTY
GAF warrants to you that the roof coatings sold under the United Coatings
™
, HydroStop
®
, Sealoflex
®
, and TOPCOAT
®
brands (the “Products”) will not leak as
a result of a manufacturing defect for the period noted below so long as the Products are installed in accordance with the applicable published application
instructions and during the shelf life set forth on the product label or container. United Coatings
™
Kymax
™
roof coating as well as GAF wall and architectural
coatings are covered under separate warranties. See gaf.com for complete coverage and restrictions.
WHO IS COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY; NON-ASSIGNABILITY
You are covered by this limited warranty if (a) you are the installer of the Products and the installation is ongoing or (b) you are the original owner of the
property on which the Products are installed and the installation is complete.
This limited warranty is NOT TRANSFERABLE OR ASSIGNABLE by contract or by operation of law, either directly or indirectly.
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
In the event of a leak caused by a manufacturing defect during the warranty term stated below, GAF’s sole responsibility is to provide replacement Products
for that portion of the Products that leak as a result of a manufacturing defect, or at GAF’s sole option, the cash value of said Products. Decisions as to the
extent of replacement Products required will be made solely by GAF. The remedy under this limited warranty is available only for that portion of the Products
actually exhibiting manufacturing defects at the time of settlement. The replacement Products, as well as any remaining Products, will be warranted only for the
remainder of the original warranty period. Repair or replacement of the roof deck or materials other than the Products is NOT included. GAF’s MAXIMUM
LIABILITY is the original cost of the Products only.
NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM
In order to report a claim you MUST notify GAF in writing — either by email (preferred) at guaranteeleak@gaf.com or by postal mail to GAF Warranty Claims
Department, One Campus Drive, Parsippany, NJ 07054 — and provide proof of purchase and proof of application date (and for original owners, proof
that you own the subject property) within 30 days after your discovery of the leak. NOTE: Notice to your contractor or distributor is NOT notice to GAF.
Within a reasonable time after proper notification, GAF will evaluate your claim and resolve it in accordance with the terms of this limited warranty. GAF
may require you to submit, at your expense, photographs of the reported problem and samples of your Products for testing. You should retain this document
as well as the proof of purchase and lot numbers from the packaging for your records in the event that you need to file a claim.
EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE
This limited warranty does NOT cover leaks or other conditions caused by any of the following:
No representative, employee, or agent of GAF, or any other person, has the authority to assume any additional or other liability or responsibility for GAF
unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized GAF Field Services Manager or Director.
LIMITATION OF DAMAGES; MEDIATION; JURISDICTION
THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, and of any other obligations or liability of GAF, whether any claim against it is based upon
negligence, breach of warranty, or any other theory. In NO event shall GAF be liable for any CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES of any kind,
including, but not limited to, interior or exterior damages and/or mold growth.
The parties agree that, as a condition precedent to litigation, any controversy or claim relating to this warranty shall be first submitted to mediation before
a mutually acceptable mediator unless GAF, at its sole option, elects to waive said requirement. In the event that mediation is unsuccessful or is waived by
GAF, the parties agree that neither one will commence or prosecute any lawsuit or proceeding other than before the appropriate state or federal court in the
State of New Jersey. Each party irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the above identified courts.
NOTE: Some states do not allow limitations on or the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply
to you. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
EFFECTIVE DATE
This limited warranty is effective for Products installed within the United States, Canada, and Mexico after January 1, 2018.
WARRANTY TERM
The length of warranty coverage to which you are entitled is dependent upon the amount of Products installed on your roof, as set forth more fully below. Application
of less Products than specified below constitutes installation which is not in accordance with the applicable published application instructions, and may result in the
denial of your claim.
