Limited Shingle Warranty:
Limited Warranty:
Contractor’s Choice warrants to you, the original owner of its
roofing product that the roofing products listed in the chart
below are free from manufacturing defects, which result in
leaks.
The limited warranty is the sole
and exclusive remedy, and during the warranty period specified
in the cart below, the maximum repair or replacement cost to
Contractor’s Choice shall not exceed during the Premium
Protection years, the replacement cost to the owner for the
product plus replacement application, removal and disposal cost
(exclusive of metal work, flashing and underlayments or other
work). During the remaining Warranty period, Contractor’s Choice
will adjust valid claims (materially affected by a manufacturing
defect), by an amount determined by decreasing monthly the
replacement cost of the product only in proportion to be the
unexpired warranty period. In no event shall Contractor’s Choice
Liability extend to any cost for replacement installation cost
of the new product during the prorated period. All non emergency
warranty work, costs, contractor and material must be agreed
upon by Contractor’s Choice and homeowner before work may begin.
A Contractor’s Choice contractor and material must be allowed
all possible opportunities to remedy repairs.
Limited Wind Warranty:
(covers Shingles only) Contractor’s Choice warrants that its
shingle will resist damage by wind gusts up to a maximum of the
Wind Speed Limits specified herein for the first five (5) years
only, from the date of installation provided that the shingles
have been installed in accordance with the printed application
instructions on the shingle bundle wrapper, and have had the
opportunity to seal down. If during this five (5) year period,
damage occurs to the shingles as a result of wind gusts under
the specified Wind Speed Limits, Contractor’s Choice will
furnish at no charge, replacement shingles for the damaged
shingles for the damaged shingles only, but no replacement
labor.
Sealant Feature:
In order to activate the sealant feature, the shingle must be
exposed to direct sunlight for a continued period of time for
the shingles to seal. Singles installed in fall or winter and
not exposed to adequate surface temperatures, or other
conditions, which temporarily or permanently preclude activation
of the sealant, may never seal and must hand sealed at the time
of installation. It is not a manufacturing defect if shingles
fail to seal under the above Circumstances, and Contractor’s
Choice will not be responsible for repairs, replacement, or hand
sealing shingles under these circumstances. However, in the
event the shingles fail to self-seal after proper installation
and climatic exposure, and Contractor’s Choice is notified
within the 1 year after installation, Contractor’s Choice’s sole
responsibility shall be to pay a reasonable cost to hand seal
the affected shingles
