portion of the warranty period; otherwise, this warranty will become null and void with respect to the area(s) or item(s) affected.

without prejudice to any other remedy Owner may have, may make repair(s) of any leak(s) in accordance with Manufacturer
recommendations if timely made available. Such action by the Owner shall not constitute a violation of this warranty. The
Owner reserves the right to pursue reimbursement from the Manufacturer for all cost(s) and expense(s) of such repair(s),
subject to the Manufacturer's responsibility under this warranty. If it is determined that the Manufacturer has no responsibility
for the leak(s) under this warranty, the Owner will reimburse the Manufacturer for direct expenses encountered for trips
requested by the Owner after the initial inspection.

repair(s) are necessary to avoid substantial damage to the building or its contents and the Manufacturer advises the Owner in
writing of its inability, for reasons beyond its control, to inspect and repair the roof system as necessary within fourteen (14)
days of written notification from the Owner, then the Owner may make such temporary repair(s) as in the opinion of the
Owner are essential and necessary and such action by the Owner shall not constitute a violation of this warranty. In

a Manufacturer licensed applicator and within a reasonable period of time shall render this Warranty null and void in the area
