WARRANTY CLAIMS

If you think your windows exhibit a manufacturing defect covered by this Warranty, simply write to Rusco, P.O. Box 7667, Roanoke, VA 24019, describing the defect and providing your name, address, date of installation and a copy of this certificate.

In the event that performance of Rusco's obligation under this Warranty is sought, the part or parts that do not comform to the Warranty must be shipped to Rusco, freight prepaid. Rusco will pay transportation cost back to the property owner's premises.

Rusco reserves the right to change, discontinue, or alter any of its products, or parts incorporated into any of its products at its sole discretion. If any model, or component part originally installed in any window in your home is not available at the time of any claim by you under this limited warranty, Rusco reserves the right to substitute any other model, part or component in the standard available colors at the time, as a replacement.

CONDITIONS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY

This warranty covers only the particular defects described in this Certificate and only if they arise during normal use and service. It does not cover defects attributable to causes or occurrences beyond Rusco's control and unrelated to the manufacturing process, including, but not limited to, faulty manufacturing process, including, but not limited to, faulty or improper installation, normal weathering, oxidation, exposure to corrosive atmospheres (such as those contaminated with salt spray, acid rain, harmful chemicals or vapors), or corrosive chemicals (such as those contained in masonry), mildew, unreasonable use, misuse, physical abuse, accidental damage, vandalism, use of incompatible accessories, fire, flood, earthquake, lightning, ice or windstorms, hail or other acts of God, wind borne objects, building settlement or structural failures (including walls and foundations), subjection to stress resulting from localized heat which causes excessive temperature differentials over the glass surfaces or edges, or use of harmful cleaning compunds. This Warranty will not apply if the window is painted, varnished or coated with any substance.

Uniform fading and color change of the main window frame and sash are not covered by this Warranty, since normal weathering and the normal aging process will cause any acumulation of dirt or stain. The severity of those conditions depends on air quality, the geographic location of your property and other local conditions over which Rusco has no control. Normal weathering is defined as exposure to sunlight and extremes of weather and temperature.

This Warranty does not apply to glass units which have been cleaned by muriatic acid or other substances which attack the sealing compound.

Condensation on windows may occur as a natural result of humidity within your house or building or of differences between the air temperature inside and the air temperature outside your house or building. Accordingly, condensation is not indicative of a defect in your windows, and it is not covered by this Warranty.

Caulking is not considered a part of this window, and therefore, is not covered under this Warranty. It is considered a maintenance responsibility of the homeowner.

THIS WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO RUSCO REPLACEMENT WINDOWS THAT ARE INSTALLED ON PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE 48 CONTIGUOUS STATES OF THE U.S.A.. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO WINDOWS INSTALLED IN ANY SHIP, BOAT, VEHICLE, SWIMMING POOL ENCLOSURE OR GREENHOUSE ENCLOSURE.
