allocated between APPLETON and the owner as hereinafter provided, subject to the terms and conditions
described here.
WHAT IS COVERED. APPLETON warrants the aluminum building products manufactured by it against
blistering, peeling, splitting, flaking or chipping during normal weathering as a direct result of defects in
manufacturing. This warranty covers only the Tru Form Polyester Enamel finish on APPLETON aluminum
building products. This warranty does not cover damage due to other causes, such as (but not limited to) faulty
installation, wind storm, wind borne objects, tornado, fire, lightning, hail, earthquake, hurricane, flooding or
other acts of God, structural shrinkage or distortion, harmful chemicals, fumes or vapors, atmospheric
pollution, salt spray, mildew, vandalism, failure to provide normal maintenance and cleaning, misuse, abuse
or other causes beyond the control of APPLETON. It also does not cover fading, chalking or changes in the
product due to the normal weathering process. This warranty does not cover the product when it is applied to
a motor, mobile or other transportation structures.
TRANSFER OF WARRANTY. This warranty may be transferred to a subsequent owner of the property provided
the subsequent owner notifies APPLETON of the new owner's name and address at the address set forth
below for warranty service within thirty (30) days of the date of transfer.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE. If the warranty holder feels the product is defective or has any other
claim under the warranty, the owner must make a claim in writing to APPLETON BUILDING PRODUCTS
®
,
DIVISION OF APPLETON SUPPLY
®
CO., INC., Customer Service Department, 1905 West Haskell Street, Appleton
WI 54914. The written claim notification must set forth the owner's name and address, a brief description of
the product and defect, and include copies of the original warranty certificate and receipt or agreement with
contractor if installed by a contractor. Claims will be considered made on the date APPLETON receives the
claim notification. APPLETON has the right to inspect the product on the owner's premises to determine that
the product has failed to meet the terms of this warranty. Within a reasonable time after receiving the warranty
claim notice, APPLETON will notify the owner whether the claim has been accepted and, if so, how it intends
to remedy the defect under this warranty. Any claim notification received by APPLETON after the end of the
lifetime of the original installation on the structure on which the products are originally installed shall not be
covered by this warranty.

WHAT WE WILL DO. APPLETON will assume 100 percent of the cost of material and labor for repair,
replacement or refinishing, at its option, for claims made during the first two (2) years of the warranty period.
Thereafter APPLETON will be responsible for the cost set forth above based on when a claim is made on the
following prorated basis, and the owner shall be responsible for the difference: 90 percent during the third
year, 5 percent less than the preceding year for each succeeding year through the eighteenth year, and
thereafter APPLETON will pay 10 percent through the end of the warranty period. APPLETON reserves the right
to change or discontinue any of its products. If the products covered by the warranty are not available at the
time the claim is made, APPLETON shall have the right to substitute a product that is of equal quality or value.
The original warranty periods shall not be extended by any warranty claim. A color variance may occur
between the replacement product and the original product as a result of weathering and is not a material
defect. APPLETON also has the option of refunding the owner's original purchase price of the product and cost
of installation, if any. All warranty work will commence by APPLETON or its agents within six (6) months of
receipt of a written claim.
