(“Seller” or “Simonton”) in effect on the Product purchase date (“Limited Warranty”).
1. WHAT THIS RIDER COVERS AND HOW LONG THE LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE APPLICABLE TO THE PRODUCT’S PROFILE (WHETHER “VINYL,” “FIBERGLASS,” OR OTHERWISE) AS SET FORTH IN THE PRODUCT’S LIMITED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THOSE PROFILE COMPONENTS OF THE PRODUCTS (EXCLUDING THE FACTORY-APPLIED EXTERIOR COATING). THE FACTORY-APPLIED EXTERIOR COATING OF THE PRODUCTS IS COVERED BY THE FOLLOWING LIMITED WARRANTY:
Vinyl – 10 Year Residential Applications; 3 Year
Commercial Applications
Subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in the Limited Warranty and this Rider, the Simonton factory-applied exterior coating on the Products is warranted against peeling, flaking, chipping, blistering and corrosion, and for significant ultraviolet fading or discoloration (greater than 5 Delta E units, as described below) caused by natural environmental conditions, from the date of Product purchase for a period of 10 years for the original resident purchaser/ property owner (3 years for Commercial Applications as defined in the Limited Warranty) and is subject to the transferability limitations set forth in the Limited Warranty. If such defects occur, Simonton will, at its option, provide factory authorized repair at no charge, or provide replacement parts only at no charge (assembly and labor not included), or refund the purchase price of the product or component (the lesser of the original product or component purchase price or the original catalog list price). Repaired or replaced products or components are NOT guaranteed to match other windows or doors in the premises, due, in part, to the normal effects of weathering over time on paint finishes

• ANY painting, staining, or other alteration of the factory-applied exterior surface of the Products

• Excessive artificial temperature buildup or exposure, including by example but not limitation, occurring from the use of storm doors or windows or shutters under certain conditions

Color change will be measured on an exposed colored surface of the Product that has been cleaned of soils, and the corresponding values measured on the original or unexposed colored surface.
