What Is Your Remedy
In the event that any portion of your ProArmor™ Underlayment does not retain its ability to shed water due to a manufacturing defect, Owens Corning will
contribute to the cost of either repairing or replacing your ProArmor™ Underlayment, as its sole option and as its sole obligation to you, as follows:
During the first ten (10) years following installation, our liability under this warranty shall be limited, at our sole discretion, to repairing or replacement of your
ProArmor™ Underlayment or a refund equal to the cost of replacement of the ProArmor™ Underlayment excluding cost of labor.
During years eleven (11) through up to thirty (30) following installation with asphalt shingles manufactured by Owens Corning, our liability shall be limited, at
our sole discretion, to repairing or replacement of the ProArmor™ Underlayment or a refund equal to the cost of replacement of the ProArmor™
Underlayment, excluding the cost of labor, subject to proration as calculated by the formula set forth below.
The proration formula takes into account the number of full years of use you have enjoyed through the date of your claim and reduces a refund for cost of
replacement accordingly. That is, we will prorate the amount of your payment through the date of your claim and reduce the amount of your compensation to
you accordingly. The ProArmor™ Underlayment has a maximum warranty period of 30 years, based on the Owens Corning
®
asphalt field shingle installed.
Thus, if you make a claim in the eleventh (11th) year of the warranty, and the warranty on the Owens Corning
®
asphalt field shingle you installed was 30
years, the warranty refund amount would be reduced by 11/30ths and the reasonable material cost of the affected ProArmor™ Underlayment, excluding the
cost of labor.
