and most attractive ventilation product(s) available anywhere, and that is why we stand behind them with one of the best warranties in the industry. We

Transferability of the Warranty
This warranty is personal to original purchaser and may not be transferred to any subsequent purchasers of your home.
How Long are You Covered
The duration of your warranty depends upon the type of VentSure ventilation product(s) you have purchased. See the chart at the end of this warranty for
the specific warranty period that applies to your VentSure ventilation product(s).
What is Covered
We warrant that your VentSure ventilation products are free from any manufacturing defects that materially affect their performance on your roof during
the applicable warranty period.
What is Not Covered
Damage to the product due to any cause not expressly covered herein. After our VentSure ventilation products leave our manufacturing facility, they are
subjected to conditions and handling beyond our control that could affect their performance. This warranty does not cover any problems with nondefective
VentSure ventilation products caused by conditions or handling beyond our control.
Some examples of conditions not covered by this warranty include:
1. Acts of God, such as hail, strong storms or winds over the maximum windspeed listed in the chart at the end of this warranty, or ice damming above the
area covered by leak barriers or above flashings.

3. Foot traffic on your roof or damage caused by object(s) (i.e., tree branches) falling on your roof.

6. Settlement of the structure of your property or buckling or cracking of the deck over which your VentSure ventilation products are installed.
7. Leaks caused by pre-existing conditions, structural failures(s) or damaged area(s) on or near the roof which are not part of the Roofing System such as
chimneys that have loose or cracked mortar, skylight seams, or soil pipe boots allowing water to enter the structure or Roofing System
8. Damage to the VentSure ventilation products caused by alterations made after completion of application, including structural changes, equipment
installation, power washing, painting or the application of cleaning solutions, coatings, or other modifications.

What is Your Remedy
1. Manufacturing Defects – If during the warranty period there is a manufacturing defect in the product(s), we will provide you with replacement
product or refund to you the original purchase price (excluding labor), as reasonably determined at Owens Corning’s discretion.
2. Proration of Your Remedy – If your VentSure ventilation product(s) carry a warranty of more than one (1) year and have been installed longer than
one (1) year, we will take into account the number of full years of use you have enjoyed through the date of your claim, and reduce the amount of our
payment to you accordingly. That is, we will prorate the amount of your payment though the date of your claim for any manufacturing defects that cause
leaks for the balance of the applicable warranty period. For example: If you have a 20-year warranty and you make your claim in the 5
th
year of the
warranty, we will pay you 75% of the VentSure ventilation product(s) cost at time of purchase.
Replacement Product Variations
As a result of our ongoing efforts to improve and enhance our product line, we must reserve the right to discontinue or modify our product, including their
colors. We are not liable to you if you make a warranty claim in the future and any replacement VentSure ventilation product(s) you receive vary in color
either because of normal weathering or changes in our VentSure ventilation product line. You should understand that if we replace any of your VentSure
ventilation product(s) under this warranty, we reserve the right to provide you with substitute VentSure ventilation product(s) that are comparable only in
quality and price to your original VentSure ventilation product(s).
