THE LIMITED WARRANTY
A. Introduction to the Limited Warranty 1. This book provides specific details, condi - tions and limitations of the Limited Warranty including procedures for requesting warranty performance and for binding arbitration, in accordance with the procedures of the Federal Arbitration Act. Additional information may be received by calling RWC at 717-561-4480. Read this document in its entirety to under- stand the protection it affords, the exclusions applicable to it, the Warranty Standards which determine its interpretations and operation and your responsibilities. 2. This is NOT an insurance policy, a mainte- nance agreement or a service contract. It is an explanation of what you, the Purchaser, can expect from this Limited Warranty. 3. Appliances and Equipment included in the Home are not warranted under this Lim- ited Warranty, but may be covered by separate warranties provided by the manufacturer or supplier. These warranties are passed on to you by your Builder at closing and are sepa- rate from this Limited Warranty. 4. You are responsible for maintenance of your new Home. General and preventative mainte- nance are required to prolong the life of your new Home. 5. This Limited Warranty is automatically transferred to subsequent Owners during the ten-year term of this Limited Warranty, except in the case of a foreclosure that voids the war- ranty as provided in Section II.A.6. 6. This Limited Warranty becomes void and all obligations on the part of Warrantor cease as of the date an Owner vacates the Home due to foreclosure proceedings. 7. This Limited Warranty is subject to changes required by various regulating bodies and some local agencies as indicated in the Ad- denda Section V of the Limited Warranty book. Notations throughout indicate where the Addenda apply. B. The Limited Warranty 1. Actions taken to cure Defects will NOT extend the periods of specified coverages in this Limited Warranty. 2. Only warranted elements which are specifi - cally designated in the Warranty Standards are covered by this Limited Warranty.
3. The Warrantor has the choice to repair, replace or pay the reasonable cost to repair or replace warranted items which do not meet Warranty Standards and are not excluded in the Limited Warranty. 4. If a warranted MSD occurs during the ap- propriate coverage period, and is reported as required in Section IV., the Warrantor will repair, replace or pay you the reasonable cost to repair or replace the warranted MSD, limited to actions necessary to restore the MSD to its load-bearing capacity.
