Warranty information
Who is Covered. This Warranty extends to the original owner(s) of a single-family residence (“Residence”) on the date of purchase of the Products (“Residential Owner”) and the original owner(s) of any other residence or building (“Structure”) on the date of purchase of the Products (“Commercial Owner”). This Warranty may be transferred one time to the party to whom the original Residential or Commercial Owner transfers ownership of the Residence or Structure, provided the transfer occurs during the first five (5) years after the Owner originally purchased the Products (“Permitted Transferee”). To transfer this Warranty, the Permitted Transferee must send to EKENA Millwork within sixty (60) days of the transfer of ownership, proof of (a) the original date of purchase of the Products, and (b) the transfer of ownership of the Residence or Structure from the Owner. In the event of a permitted transfer, the effective date of the Warranty for pro-rata purposes will remain the date of original purchase of the Products by the original Owner. The warranty protection provided against excessive fading is not transferable from the original Owner for all Products. Terms of Warranty. EKENA Millwork warrants that the Products are free from manufacturing defects which result in warping, cracking, splitting, rotting, peeling, flaking, blistering and excessive fading under normal weather conditions for the lifetime of the Residential Owner, Commercial Owner or Permitted Transferee. For a Residential Owner as defined above, the Products are warranted as shown in the Warranty Coverage Schedule for Original Residential Owner below. For a Commercial Owner or Permitted Transferee as defined above, the Products are warranted as shown in the Pro-Rated Warranty Coverage Schedule below.
