Warranty Guide

THE WARRANTY
GAF warrants to you, the original owner of the building described above, that United Coatings
™
Roof Mate
™
Base Coat and United Coatings
™
Roof Mate
™
Top Coat (the “Roof Mate”) will not contain a manufacturing defect that adversely affects its performance for fifteen years follow-
ing the completion of installation in accordance with the published application instructions and as long as the Roof Mate was installed during
the shelf life set forth on the label or container.
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
GAF’s sole responsibility for breach of this limited warranty is the replacement of that portion of the Roof Mate that leaks as a result of a manufac-
turing defect, or at GAF’s sole option, the cash value of said Roof Mate. Decisions as to the extent of replacement required will be made solely
by GAF. The remedy under this warranty is available only for that portion of the Roof Mate actually exhibiting defects at the time of settlement.
The replacement Roof Mate, as well as any remaining Roof Mate, will be warranted only for the remainder of the original warranty period.
NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM
In the event of a leak caused by a manufacturing defect, you MUST notify GAF in writing — either by email (preferred) at [e-mail]
or by postal mail to GAF Guarantee Services, One Campus Drive, Parsippany, NJ 07054 — and provide proof of purchase, proof of property
ownership, application date, and lot number(s) 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 warranty. GAF may require you to submit, at your expense, samples of your Roof Mate for testing and photographs. You should
retain this document as well as the product name 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 conditions other than leaks. This limited warranty also does NOT cover leaks 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. GAF shall not be responsible for any change
or amendment to the GAF roof specifications used in the construction of your roof unless approved in writing by an authorized GAF Field Services
Manager or Director.
This limited warranty MAY BE SUSPENDED OR CANCELLED IF THE ROOF IS DAMAGED BY any cause listed above as AN EXCLUSION FROM
COVERAGE that may affect the integrity or watertightness of the roof.
NON-ASSIGNABILITY
The limited warranty is NOT TRANSFERABLE OR ASSIGNABLE by contract or by operation of law, either directly or indirectly.
LIMITATION OF DAMAGES; MEDIATION; JURISDICTION; CHOICE OF LAW
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 media-
tion before a mutually acceptable mediator. In the event that mediation is unsuccessful, 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. This warranty shall
be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Each party irrevocably consents to the
jurisdiction and venue 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.
