Warranty

40 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON PERFORATIONS CAUSED BY OXIDATION

Components produced from AZM180 Galvalume Plus® steel will not perforate as a consequence of oxidation within a period of thirty (30) years from the date of shipment from our facilities due to exposure to normal atmospheric corrosion. This warranty shall not extend to components that have been damaged, welded or exposed to corrosive, aggressive, harmful or other abnormal atmospheric conditions including, but not limited to: areas subject to salt water atmospheres, fallout or exposure to corrosive chemicals, fumes, ash, cement dust or animal waste; areas subject to water run-off from lead or copper flashings or areas in contact with lead or copper; areas in contact or close proximity to damp insulation or other corrosive materials or subject to spraying of either salt or fresh water; areas where corrosive fumes of condensates are generated or released inside the building; areas that come into contact with green or wet lumber; areas where the free drainage of water was prevented and water or debris was allowed to accumulate on the component; and/or areas where damage was caused to the metallic coating. This warranty is subject to the limitations and exclusions set out below.

60 DAY WARRANTY AGAINST SHORTAGES AND DEFECTS

We will replace any item that was purchased from us, but which was not loaded for delivery or which was defective in material or workmanship. In order to qualify for this warranty, said shortage or defect must be documented in writing on our Bill of Lading and/or reported to us within sixty (60) days of delivery. In the event of non-conformance with the above warranty, we shall produce the replacement components within a reasonable period of time and deliver them to the original delivery location using a method of delivery of our own selection at no charge to our customer. If, however, in the case of a shortage, the carrier has acknowledged receipt of the product that is alleged to be missing, we shall only be responsible for filing a claim with said carrier and for any resulting recovery. This warranty is subject to the limitations and exclusions set out below.

30 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON DAMAGE CAUSED BY SNOW OR WIND

In the event of snow or wind damage to a properly and completely constructed building system within a period of thirty (30) years from the date of delivery, we shall produce replacements for the damaged components using materials of equal or superior quality to the originals and deliver them to the original shipping location at no charge. This warranty is subject to the limitations and exclusions set out below.

LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

In no event shall any of our warranties extend beyond the supply of replacement components for the missing, defective or damaged components. Without limiting the foregoing, under no circumstance will we be liable for any cost of labor or consequential damages related in any way to any shortage, defect or damage. We reserve the right to select the method of repair or replacement and delivery at our sole discretion and to settle warranty claims directly with the end-use customer. Any dispute about quality, quantity, condition or workmanship shall not entitle the customer to reject our components or to refuse payment for the same. In the event of any such dispute, the customer must accept delivery of the components and make a short-shipment or warranty claim. In order to qualify for the above warranties, the short-shipment, defect or damage claim must be communicated to us immediately upon discovery and we must be provided with adequate opportunity and appropriate information to properly investigate the claim including, without limitation, the customer’s provision of such measurements, documents, information, photographs, etc. as we may reasonably request. We provide no warranty whatsoever for any shortage, defect or damage that results directly or indirectly from any occurrence that is beyond our control including, without limitation, any negligence, shipping error, misuse, abuse, neglect, willful damage, faulty construction or force majeure. Our warranty against snow and wind damage is not applicable in any of the following circumstances: where the actual loads imposed on the product exceeded the product’s design load capacity as specified on our most current blueprint; where the building site location does not match the building site location specified on our most current blueprint; where the building has not been constructed in accordance with our most current design and instructions; where the site conditions including, without limitation, the wind and/or snow exposure conditions (including snow shadow) do not match the conditions specified on our blueprint (without limitation, no snow shadow is accounted for unless specifically stated on purchase order); where the soil and site conditions deviate from our most current blueprint; where the foundation, arch anchorage, structural supports, masonry walls, or any other structural element deviates from our most current blueprint; in cases where our most current blueprint does not indicate that the foundation, structural supports, masonry walls, or any other structural element would be designed and/or supplied by others and such structural elements are inadequate; where our product has been modified or previously damaged; where additional loads are imposed on the product without our prior approval (no additional loads have been approved unless they are specified on our most current blueprint); where the use of the building is not proper or consistent with the use indicated on our most current blueprint (without limitation, low importance or minor storage is assumed unless otherwise stated on the purchase order); where the product is attached to another structure, or where another structure has been attached to our building and this is not reflected on our blueprint, or the information provided to us regarding the attached structure is inaccurate (including, without limitation, the dimensions of the structure that our product is to be attached to and the location and orientation of our building in relation to said structure); where the damage is not directly caused by the wind or snow but by some intervening act including, without limitation, impact from other objects; where the customer has failed, refused or neglected to confirm the adequacy of our design with local building authorities prior to erection; and/or where the customer has failed, refused or neglected to maintain the product including, without limitation, the removal of snow or other loads in excess of the product’s capacity as specified on our certified drawings. The above warranties are the only warranties that we provide and are in lieu of any other representation or warranty, express or implied, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we specifically disclaim any representation or warranty that our components are fit and/or suitable for the customer’s intended use and/or purpose.
