30-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY TRUWOOD SIDING & TRIM 1. LIMITED WARRANTY – TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY COVERAGE
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 3 AND 4 BELOW. Collins Products (“Collins”) warrants that its TruWood Siding & Trim products (the “Products”) were manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications set forth in ANSITruWoodSA 135.6. Collins warrants its Products, exclusive of factory applied coatings, against defects in material, workmanship and buckling (defined as more than 1/4 in. deflection between studs installed at 16 in. on center) of the basic structure for a period of 30 years from the date of installation (“Product Warranty Period”) as long as the Products have been stored, handled, installed, finished, and maintained in accordance with TruWood installation instructions and care and maintenance recommendations in effect at the time of installation (“Collins Instructions”). Collins further warrants the factory-applied primed coatings (the “Coatings”), exclusive of the Products, against defects in material and chipping, peeling and blistering for 5 years from the date of installation as long as the Products have been stored, handled, installed, finished, and maintained in accordance with Collins Instructions. This Warranty is transferable from the purchaser of the Products to the owner of the structure on which the Products are installed, if purchaser and structure owner are not one and the same. The Warranty is further transferable from the owner of the structure on which the Products are installed to the first subsequent owner of the same structure (collectively, the “Owner”). The Warranty is not transferable to any subsequent structure owner. 2. WARRANTY REMEDIES THIS SECTION PROVIDES THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AVAILABLE TO ANY OWNER. If any Product or Coating fails to perform as warranted (or fails to perform in accordance with any implied warranty not disclaimed herein), during the first five years from the date of installation, at its option, Collins will either (i) provide labor and materials necessary to replace the defective Products or (ii) reimburse Owner for any replacement costs in an amount up to two (2) times the original purchase price of the Products, less any replacement costs directly attributable to Owner’s failure to follow Collins Instructions (“Maximum Reimbursement”). Starting in the 6th year following original installation of the Products, Maximum Reimbursement for replacement costs will be reduced by 4% per year, such that from and after the 30th year, Maximum Reimbursement payable under this warranty will be zero. In connection with any dispute under this Section, Owner shall have the burden of proof that the Product has been stored, handled, installed, finished, and maintained according to Collins Instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, as an express condition of this Warranty, prior to undertaking any repair or replacement of any affected Products and prior to exercising any rights set forth in Section 5, Owner must (i) notify Collins, in writing, within 60 days of first discovering the condition, at the address in Section 6 and provide annotated photographs, and (ii) allow Collins a reasonable period of time to inspect and/or investigate the condition of the Products in question. Subject to the foregoing, all claims under this Warranty must nonetheless be submitted to Collins in writing within 30 years and 60 days of the date of installation. 3. WARRANTY LIMITATIONS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NO COLLINS RESELLER, AGENT, DISTRIBUTOR, SUPPLIER OR EMPLOYEE IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATION, EXTENSION OR ADDITION TO THIS WARRANTY. This Warranty does not cover damage to Products due to: (i) misuse, abuse or improper transportation, storage, handling, installation, painting, refinishing, or maintenance; (ii) alterations to the structure after the original installation of Products; (iii); design, application, or construction of the structure on which Products are installed; (iv) failure to comply with applicable building codes and accepted building practices; (v) use or application of sawed or “ripped” TruWood siding as trim; (vi) prolonged contact with accumulated water due to wall, roof, door, window, deck or any other water infiltration leaks, ineffective vapor barriers or failure to maintain Products; (vii) performance of any field-applied finishes; (viii) mold, mildew or fungus; (ix) performance of Products installed on any structure located outside the United States of America; (x) acts of God, war, civil disorder, hurricane, tornado, hail, earthquake, flood, fire, lightning, mudslide, air pollution, severe weather or any other similar cause beyond the control of Collins, or (xi) any condition referenced in the Collins Instructions “Installation Errors That Void the Warranty;” (xii) swelling and/or edge checking (such swelling and/or edge checking normally occurs in all wood products as they expand and contract in response to changes in climatic conditions). This Warranty requires strict compliance with Collins Instructions. Collins is not responsible for any damages caused by any other party. 4. EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES COLLINS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONDITION, OR UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS.
