“TAMKO” - means TAMKO Roofing Products, Inc.;

“Term” - means the period of time this Limited Warranty lasts. The Term begins on the date of Purchase and continues, unless sooner terminated, for a period of fifty years;

“Owner”> - means the Owner of the building at the time the Shingles are installed on that building. If you purchase a new residence and are the first person to occupy the residence, TAMKO will consider you to be the Owner even though the Shingles were already installed;

“Maximum Liability” - means the obligation of TAMKO described in the paragraph titled “Limited Warranty.”

“Certificate for Replacement Shingles” and “Certificate” - mean a certificate issued by TAMKO and redeemable at participating distributors for a stated quantity of replacement shingles of the same type and color as the Shingles which are to be replaced. If shingles of the same type or color are no longer available, the certificate will be for the closest TAMKO substitute available.

“Dollar Limit Per Square” - means $350 for each one hundred square feet of roof area of properly applied defective Shingles. This limit applies only to the cost of Shingles.

“Full Start Period” - means the initial seven (7) year period of the Term during which TAMKO’s obligation is not prorated.

“Labor Payment Certificate” - means a certificate issued by TAMKO that may be redeemed to pay the reasonable cost of labor for installing replacement shingles not to exceed the original installation cost, or, if the original installation cost cannot be substantiated by documentary proof, $100 for each one hundred square feet of roof area to which the shingles are applied.

Limited Warranty:

If Shingles are determined to have manufacturing defects which have directly caused leaks:

During the Full Start Period, TAMKO will provide the Owner with a Certificate for Replacement Shingles. TAMKO will also provide the Owner with a Labor Payment Certificate that may be used to pay the reasonable cost of installing replacement shingles (subject to the limitations set forth above) if the entire roof is found to be defective. In lieu of a Certificate for Replacement Shingles, TAMKO may, at its option, pay to the Owner the Dollar Limit Per Square identified above. There is no proration of either labor or material during the Full Start Period.

This is TAMKO’s Maximum Liability during the Full Start Period. After the Full Start Period, TAMKO will provide the Owner with a Certificate for a prorated quantity of replacement Shingles. TAMKO will also provide the Owner with a Labor Payment Certificate that may be used to pay a prorated portion of the reasonable cost of installing replacement shingles (subject to the limitations set forth above) if the entire roof is found to be defective. In lieu of a Certificate for Replacement Shingles, TAMKO may, at its option, pay to the Owner a prorated portion of the Dollar Limit Per Square. This portion shall be determined by dividing the number of months remaining in the Term by the total number of months of the Term. For example, if TAMKO is notified of a warranty claim at a time when 200 months remain in the 600-month warranty Term and the entire roof is found to be defective, TAMKO will provide a Certificate for one-third of the replacement shingles and a Labor Payment Certificate for one-third of the reasonable cost of installing replacement shingles (not to exceed the original cost of installation). In this example, in lieu of a Certifi- cate for Replacement Shingles, TAMKO may, at its option, pay to the Owner one-third of the Dollar Limit Per Square. The remaining cost shall be the responsibility of the Owner.

This is TAMKO’s Maximum Liability after the Full Start Period. The extent of replacement is at the sole discretion of TAMKO. Except as expressly set forth above, TAMKO is not responsible for the cost of labor for installing replacement shingles. TAMKO is not responsible for the cost of flashings or metal work or for the cost of removing or disposing of Shingles which are to be replaced. Replacement shingles will be warranted only for the remainder of the original Term. Tender of payment of the prorated Dollar Limit Per Square shall extinguish all liability of TAMKO under this limited warranty and all applicable implied warranties.

Notification to TAMKO:

The Owner must notify TAMKO by certified mail at P.O. Box 1404, Joplin, Missouri 64802 of any claims under this limited warranty within thirty (30) days following discovery of leaks or damage by wind. The notice must include documentary proof of Purchase. Failure of the Owner to notify TAMKO as provided herein shall extinguish all liability of TAMKO under this limited warranty and all applicable implied warranties.

Right of Inspection and Claim Processing:

TAMKO shall have a reasonable time after notification to inspect the Shingles. The Owner shall provide TAMKO with reasonable access to the Shingles for purposes of inspection. If requested by TAMKO, the Owner must complete and deliver to TAMKO, at the Owner’s expense, a warranty questionnaire, photographs of the roof and samples of the Shingles. If reasonable access is denied or made subject to unreasonable conditions by the Owner, or if the Owner fails or refuses to cooperate in TAMKO’s investigation of the complaint (such as by failing to provide sample Shingles or photographs or a completed warranty questionnaire), TAMKO’s obligation under this limited warranty shall immediately terminate. If TAMKO determines there are manufacturing defects covered by this limited warranty, TAMKO will have up to ninety (90) days after receipt of notification to process the Owner’s claim.

60-Month Limited Wind Warranty:

The Shingles are also covered by a 60-month limited warranty against damage from wind up to 90 miles per hour. This Limited Wind Warranty applies only if the Shingles were installed according to the instructions printed in the applicable installation guide. If this condition is met and during the first 60 months of the Term the Shingles are damaged or blown off by wind up to 90 miles per hour as a result of a manufacturing defect, TAMKO will process the Owner’s claim in accordance with the section titled “Limited Warranty.” TAMKO shall have no liability under this Limited Wind Warranty if the Shingles have been exposed at any time to winds in excess of 90 miles per hour. Shingles will be conclusively deemed to have been exposed to winds in excess of 90 miles per hour if the National Weather Service or other reputable weather agency records wind in excess of 90 miles per hour in the county or parish where the Shingles are installed or in any adjoining county or parish.

Exclusions from Coverage:
