EDCO Entex Siding Full Warranty (Canada)
Entex Siding Full Warranty (Canada)
A. WARRANTY COVERAGE:
EDCO Entex Steel-Kore Steel Siding is warranted to you, the original property owner(s), by the manufacturer, EDCO Products, Incorporated (“EDCOâ€). EDCO warrants against the siding containing manufacturing defects which result in cracking, chipping, flaking, peeling, or splitting, as well as manufacturing defects which cause perforation or deterioration of the steel substrate due to rust. This warranty remains in effect for as long as the original property owner(s) are living and are the owner(s) of the property to which the siding was applied. In the event there is more than one original property owner(s), the warranty will remain in effect as long as one of the original property owner(s) is living and owns a significant interest in the property to which the siding was applied. Because the warranty period relates to the individual property owner(s)’ lifetime (human beings), this warranty period does not apply to siding applied to property owned in whole or part by corporations, governmental entities or agencies, religious organizations, trusts, condominium or cooperative housing arrangements, intangible legal entities or any other entity or organization capable of an indefinite life. For such intangible entities capable of an indefinite life, the duration of the warranty is fifty (50) years from the date of installation and is not transferable. Additionally, EDCO warrants the siding, after removal of foreign surface deposits, will not show a change in excess of 5 Delta E units (NBS) as a result of normal weathering or ultraviolet exposure, for a period of thirty-five (35) years from the date of installation. This warranty shall be valid only after the registration certificate is completely filled in by the original property owner(s), signed, and mailed to EDCO within thirty (30) days after completion of installation of the siding or purchase from the builder of your newly constructed home. All warranties are subject to the conditions, remedies, transfer requirements, limitations and legal rights stated in this certificate.
B. NOTICE of INSPECTION, REMEDIES – USD $ 100 PAYMENT, TOTAL LIABILITY – AND CONDITIONS
1. Notice of Inspection: If you think your siding contains manufacturing defects, simply write to EDCO Products, Inc., 8700 Excelsior Boulevard, Hopkins, MN 55343-3410, Attention: Warranty Services, by registered mail, including the date the siding was installed, certificate number and name exactly as indicated on the original warranty registration. If you choose to exercise your rights under this warranty, do not begin any repairs prior to writing EDCO and receiving EDCO’s written permission to do so. Some unauthorized methods of repair may ruin the siding, making it impossible to repair the siding. Further, EDCO must be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect the siding for defects before repairs are begun. 2. Remedies: (a) First Three Years If your siding shows manufacturing defects within the first three years from the date of installation of the siding, EDCO, at its option, will either repair, refinish, or replace the defective siding at no cost to the property owner(s). (b) After Three Years – $100 USD Payment After the first three years from date of installation, EDCO will assume the cost of material and labor for any warranted work upon EDCO’s receipt of a $100* USD payment from the property owner for each incident under this warranty. (c) Limitation of EDCO’s Liability for Each Claim EDCO’s total liability for a claim under this warranty shall be limited to, and in no event exceed the total purchase price, including labor and taxes, of the original installed siding. Any costs and expenses beyond EDCO’s liability shall be paid to EDCO or otherwise paid by the property owner(s) prior to EDCO commencing warranty work on any claim which exceeds EDCO’s total liability. Certificate Number Issue Date 3. Conditions EDCO reserves the right to discontinue or make changes in its siding. If your siding is not available and EDCO decides to replace the defective siding, EDCO shall have the right to substitute siding which it considers of equal quality and price. All warranty claims shall be settled between you and EDCO.
C. TRANSFER OF WARRANTY AND PRORATION
This warranty is only transferable by the original property owner(s) to the next owner(s) of the property to which the siding is attached; provided EDCO receives written notice of transfer of title of the property, accompanied by a One Hundred Dollar ($100.00) USD transfer fee*, within thirty (30) days of the date of transfer of ownership. Your notice must be sent by registered mail and include the original owner’s name as registered with EDCO on the original warranty registration, the name of the next property owner(s), the certificate registration number, and the date the siding was installed. Failure to file the required transfer notice within thirty (30) days shall relieve EDCO of any further obligation to the next owner(s) under the terms of this warranty. Upon transfer, all warranty periods, shall be prorated and limited in duration to fifty (50) years from the date of the installation of the siding as follows: first to fifth year EDCO pays 100% of the costs of the labor and material to refinish, repair, or replace defective siding. During the sixth and subsequent years after date of installation the property owner shall pay an additional 10% per year of the cost and EDCO shall pay the balance. The fourteenth year through the end of applicable warranty period EDCO will pay 10% of the total costs. All claims are subject to an applicable service charge per incident. This section does not apply to entities capable of an infinite life.
