sheet steel, if erected within the continental United States (which includes Alaska and Canada), will not rupture, fail
structurally, or perforate within a period of twenty‑five (25) years and six (6) months after shipment from our manufacturing branch due
to exposure to normal atmospheric corrosion.
This warranty does not apply to sheets exposed at any time to corrosive, aggressive, harmful, or other abnormal weather or atmospheric
conditions including but not limited to the conditions present in the following areas or circumstances:
a. areas within 1500 feet of salt water, marine atmospheres, or salt spray.
b. areas subject to fallout of, or exposure to corrosive chemicals, ash, fumes, dust (including cement dust), vapors, animal waste
and confinement or other similar items.
c. areas subject to water run‑off from lead or copper flashings or piping or areas in metallic contact with lead, copper or graphite.
d. areas subject to foreign substances, such as sand or dirt particles or other abrasive particles or other abrasive particles or
substances.
e. circumstances where corrosive fumes or condensates are generated or released inside the building.
f. circumstances where, due to roof or sidewall pitch, there is improper drainage or holding of water.
This warranty does not apply in the event of:
a. bends less than 2T for sheet thickness 0.030” and thinner and less than 4T for sheet thickness 0.031” and thicker.
b. slopes of the roof or sections of the roof flatter than 1/4:12.
c. mechanical, chemical or other damage sustained during shipment, storage, or forming fabrication, or during or after erection,
including without limitation damage caused by falling objects, acts of God, fire, riots, explosions, acts of war, or other external
forces.
d. forming which incorporates stretching or severe reverse bending or which subjects coating to alternate compression and tension.
e. improper fabrication, embossing, cut edge exposure or mechanical perforation.
f. failure to provide free drainage of water, including internal condensation, from overlaps and all other surfaces of the sheets
and panels.
g. failure to remove debris from overlaps and all other surfaces of the sheets and panels.
h. deterioration of the panels caused by contact with green or wet lumber or wet storage stain caused by water damage
or condensation.
i. presence of damp insulation or other corrosive materials in contact with or close proximity to the panel.
j. deterioration of the panels caused directly or indirectly by panel contact with fasteners. The responsibility for the selection of
suitable, long‑lasting fasteners, to be used with the panels, rests solely with the Buyer or building owner.
This warranty shall be subject to the stipulations, limitations, and conditions hereinafter set forth:
1. Metal Sales’ liability for breach of this warranty shall be limited exclusively to the cost of either repairing nonconforming panels, or
at Metal Sales’ sole option, of furnishing FOB Buyer’s location sufficient sheet replacement panels for the nonconforming panels.
2. Metal Sales shall not in any event be liable for the cost of labor expended by others on any nonconforming sheet or for any special,
indirect or consequential damages to anyone by reason of the fact that such panels shall have been nonconforming.
3. Claims must be promptly reported in writing to Metal Sales and Metal Sales shall be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect the
panels claimed to be nonconforming. Adequate identification of the material involved in the claim, including date of installation,
Metal Sales invoice number, and date of shipment must be established by Buyer.
4. Buyer shall exercise diligence in inspection of sheets as received from Metal Sales so as to mitigate repair or replacement.
