EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Except as and limited to what is explicitly set out in this Limited Warranty with respect to the Limited Wind Resistance Warranty and
the Limited Algae Resistance Warranty, the coverage under this Limited Warranty is only for manufacturing defects that result in a
leak of the Shingles on the Owner’s roof, and for no other cause whatsoever. Conditions that do not result in a leak, or are not due
solely to a manufacturing defect in the Shingles are not covered by the Limited Warranty or otherwise.
As a result, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, IKO will not have any liability or obligation under the Limited
Warranty or otherwise for the following:
1. Any damage that occurs during or after any improper application process, including one that fails to follow IKO’s printed
application instructions;
2. Any variation in the color or shading between installed Shingles on the building, including the fading or weathering of colored
granules used in any of IKO’s Shingle blends, backsurfacing transfer between Shingles, or asphalt staining of Shingles. IKO
reserves the right to discontinue or modify any of its products, including the color blend of any Shingles, without notice to the
original Owner. IKO will not be liable for any costs as a result of such modication or discontinuance of any product;
3. Any damage to the interior or exterior of any building, or any property or contents within or outside any building;
4. Any damage caused by Acts of God or other causes beyond IKO’s control, including, without limitation, lightning, gale or
wind (except for the coverage in the Limited Wind Resistance Warranty), hail, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, explosion, ood,
fungus contamination, solid objects falling on the roof, or any other causes. This exclusion does not apply to ordinary wear and
tear of Shingles caused by the elements;
5. Any damage caused by settlement, distortion or cracking of the roof deck, walls or foundation of a building. This includes
failure in the materials used as a roof base, or by the presence of people, animals, machinery, equipment or any trafc of any
kind on the roof;
6. Any damage caused by buckling of Shingles. The installation of Shingles on dimensional lumber (including shiplap or board
decks) is not recommended as it may cause buckling of Shingles;
7. Any damage that arises after the roof is altered following the original installation of the Shingles. This includes any alteration
including structural additions, changes, or replacement; or equipment installations (including but not limited to, signs, water
towers, fan housings, air conditioning equipment, solar heaters, water heaters, television and /or radio antennas, satellite dishes,
skylights, and equipment or machinery of any kind);
8. Any costs incurred for any, work, repairs (whether temporary or permanent) or replacements not authorized in advance in
writing by IKO;
9. Costs incurred for materials, repairs or replacements where materials produced by someone other than IKO (unless authorized
in advance in writing by IKO to do so);
10. Any damage that arises from any cause other than a manufacturing defect that results in a leak;
11. Any discoloration or damage due to the presence of mold, mildew, fungus, algae, biological growth or pollutant or other matter
on the Shingles or roof (except for the coverage in the Limited Algae Resistance Warranty);
12. Any damage or distortion caused by inadequate ventilation either at the eaves or on the rooftop of the building. This includes
failure of ventilation caused by blocked, non operative or defective vents or any other condition that renders the ventilation
system ineffective. Roof system ventilation should meet local building code standards for total vent area. Ventilation must also
be distributed evenly between the rooftop and the eaves of the building;
13. Any costs related to the replacement of the Shingles that is not expressly covered in this Limited Warranty. This means that
unless otherwise explicitly set out in this Limited Warranty, the Limited Warranty does not cover the cost of installation,
application, tear-off, removal and disposal of Shingles, other shingles, roof ashings, metal work, vents or repair of any other
damages caused by or associated with any leakage, or any other costs or expenses the Owner may incur or claim;
14. Any costs related to the removal of any asbestos present in the roof on which the Shingles have been installed;
15. Any damage due to the effects of debris, resins or drippings from trees in contact with or near the Shingles. Such damage may
include blisters on the Shingle surface or premature aging caused by debris or matter on the roof;
16. Any damage due to the effects of chemicals on the Shingles, whether applied to the Shingles or roof, airborne or which otherwise
come in contact with the Shingles or roof. This means that this Limited Warranty does not cover the effects on Shingles or roof
of any chemical including but not limited to aliphatic or aromatic solvents, chlorinated hydrocarbons, turpentine, oils, organic
or inorganic polar materials or any other related materials;
17. Any damage due to the excessive use of roong cement;
18. Any damages or failure in performance of Shingles installed over insulated roof deck panels, except as outlined below under the
section “REDUCED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR INSTALLATION OF SHINGLES ON INSULATED ROOF DECKS”;
19. Any Shingle product sold with or bearing “ECONOMY NO WARRANTY” tape or marking. Such Shingle product is sold on
an “As Is”, no warranty basis;
20. Any damage to Shingles applied in a closed valley application, where Shingles are used to construct the valley or run-off areas
on the roof. Open metal valleys are recommended for best roof performance;
21. Any claim under this Limited Warranty where the Owner deliberately or negligently misrepresents any material fact;
NO LIABILITY OR COVERAGE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
The Limited Warranty provides coverage only for certain limited damage to Shingles that is directly caused by a manufacturing
defect. IN NO EVENT SHALL IKO OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, ASSOCIATED, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. This means, without limiting the forgoing, that this Limited Warranty does not cover claims
for: damages to homes or other structures, interiors, exteriors, furniture, contents, appliances, loss of income, loss of enjoyment,
storage fees, economic loss, or any other loss or damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so this condition may not apply to you in those jurisdictions.
