Warranty
Introduction
Thank you for your recent purchase of Owens Corning Roofing and
Asphalt VentSure
®
ventilation products. We believe we manufacture
the highest quality 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 have attempted to write this
warranty in clear, plain-English terms, including the limitations and
restrictions, so you will fully understand the warranty we are making
to you. However, if anything in this warranty is not clear to you,
please visit our Web site at www.owenscorning.com. Or call us at
1-800-ROOFING.
Who is Covered
The property in which the products have been installed must be
located in the United States or Canada and you must be the original
consumer purchaser, (i.e., the homeowner, not the installer or
contractor) of one of our VentSure ventilation products listed below,
you are entitled to the benefits of this warranty.
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.
2. Damage to or failure of the VentSure ventilation products as
a result of damage to or the failure of the underlying roofing
structure.
3. Foot traffic on your roof or damage caused by object(s) (i.e., tree
branches) falling on your roof.
4. Improper or faulty installation of your VentSure ventilation
products—installation must be in accordance with our written
installation instructions and comply with local building codes.
5. Inadequate ventilation or roof drainage. Some exceptions
may apply. If you have questions, please contact us at
1-800-ROOFING.
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.
9. Improper storage, handling or other conditions beyond our control.
10. Damages caused by, or the cost to repair or replace, any non-Owens Corning
®
VentSure ventilation products.
11. Improperly designed or installed gutter or downspout systems.
12. Any costs that you incur which are not authorized in advance by Owens Corning.
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).
No Modifications to this Warranty
This warranty may not be changed or modified. No one, including any
representative or employee of Owens Corning and any representative or employee
of a contractor or installer has authority to assume any additional liability or
responsibility for Owens Corning or in any way modify or change this warranty.
