STEADFAST CEDAR PRODUCTS LTD. LIMITED WARRANTY
PRODUCTS & PERSONS COVERED This Limited Warranty covers Number 1 and Premium Grade Shakes and Shingles ("warranted products") manufactured by Steadfast Cedar Products Ltd. ("Steadfast"). The Limited Warranty is extended to the original house owner/consumer purchaser (the "original owner") and may only be transferred to any other person or entity one time providing the transfer is made within seven (7) years of the original installation date of the warranted products. In the event of such a warranty transfer, any provision or requirement of this warranty that applies or refers to the original owner shall become applicable to the transferee. Written notice and payment of a warranty transfer fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00 U.S.) to Steadfast is required before any warranty transfer shall become effective. Steadfast reserves the right to modify or rescind this warranty transferability provision (including the amount of any warranty transfer fee) at any time. SCOPE OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY Subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth below, Steadfast warrants to the original owner that the warranted product has been manufactured, inspected and graded in accordance with the Uniform Building Code Standard Number 15-3 or 15-4 and for the period (the "warranty period") specified below, (which is measured from the date of installation), the warranted products will remain free from defects causing leaks caused by product defects as described in the Standards AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE: #1 Grade 16" & 18" Shingles for 25 years; #1 Grade 18" & 24" Tapersawn Shakes for 25 years; Premium 18" & 24" Tapersawn Shakes for 30 Years; #1 Grade 24" X 1/2" Handsplit Shakes for 30 Years; Premium & Select 24" X 1/2" Handsplit Shakes for 40 years; #1 Grade 24" X 3/4" Handsplit Shakes for 40 years; Premium & Select 24" X 3/4" Handsplit Shakes for 50 years. REMEDIES If a warranted product fails causing leaks within the applicable warranty period due to a product defect as described in the UBC Standards and upon receiving a bona-fide written claim from the original owner, Steadfast shall at its sole election either (1) furnish replacement warranted product or (2) refund a pro rata portion of the amount the original owner paid for the purchase of the defective warranted product. In the case of replacement, Steadfast shall be responsible only for providing replacement product. The original owner shall be responsible for all costs of replacement in excess of Steadfast's declared share as well as any additional cost of repair, including, but not limited to, labor and material for product removal and repair or replacement of venting, metal work, flashing, underlayment and other related materials. In the case of a pro rata refund, the amount of the refund shall be determined by multiplying the purchase price of the defective warranted product by the percentage of the warranty period remaining (determined by dividing the number of months remaining in the applicable warranty period by the total number of months in the warranty period) as of the date Steadfast receives the warranty claim. The foregoing remedies are the exclusive remedies available under this Limited Warranty. EXCLUSIONS & LIMITATIONS This Limited Warranty is extended only to the original owner and only covers manufacturing defects or defects in material that cause leaks within the applicable warranty period. Except as expressly stated above, this Limited Warranty does not cover installation, labor, or application costs, and does not in any case cover removal costs, flashings, underlayment, fasteners or other related materials used in the installation of warranted products. This Limited Warranty does not apply to warranted products used for any purpose other than roofing. This Limited Warranty shall not become effective unless each and every bundle of shakes, shingles or other roofing material applied to the roof is manufactured by Steadfast and carries Steadfast's Number 1 or Premium Grade Label. This Limited Warranty may not be altered by any wholesaler, dealer, roofer, contractor or representative of Steadfast. This Limited Warranty does not cover product failure due to: 1. Hurricane, tornado, windstorm, hail, lightning, flood, fire, explosion, mudslide, earthquake, volcanic eruption, falling objects, aircraft, vehicles, accidents, riot, civil commotion, war or acts of God; 2. Defects in workmanship in the installation of warranted products or other improper application, application not in accordance with locally accepted building codes or with the Uniform Building Code recommendations; 3. Damage caused by flashings, underlayment, fasteners, or other material used in the installation of the roof; 4. Settlement, warping, distortion, failure, cracking or movement of the roof deck, or walls, or settling of the foundation; 5. Neglect, misuse, or improper upkeep or maintenance, normal wear and tear or normal discoloration; 6. Improper handling, shipment or storage; 7. Build up of moss, leaves, needles, branches or other debris, insects or rodents; 8. Improper ventilation or roof drainage not in accordance with FHA standards; 9. Repairs or alterations made to the roof after its original installation, damage from paints, coatings or other solutions. The serviceable life of cedar shakes and shingles is affected by several factors over which Steadfast has no control and for which Steadfast assumes no responsibility under this Limited Warranty. These factors include, but are not limited to, climate index, quality of installation, maintenance, or ventilation, and the type and quality of the underlayment. This Limited Warranty shall NOT apply to cedar shakes and shingles installed in the following states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas in the counties of Angelina, Austin, Brazos, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Grimes, Hardin, Harris, Jasper, Jefferson, Orange, Liberty, Montgomery, Newton, Polk, Sabine, San Augustine, San Jacinto, Trinity, Walker, Waller and Washington or any other jurisdiction which requires cedar shakes and shingles to be preservative-treated. In those jurisdictions the treatment processors warrant their product separately.
