This warranty is void if the Extrusions are used in windows or doors which are installed other than on a vertical plane.
This warranty does not include uniform colour change due to normal weathering and or non- uniform colour change resulting from normal weathering and or unequal surface exposure to ultraviolet (sun) light and elements. “Normal Weathering” is defined as exposure to ultraviolet (sun) light, and extremes of temperature and atmosphere which will cause any colored or painted surface to fade, discolor, darken, chalk, or acquire a surface accumulation of dirt or stains.

The warranty granted by Fabricator to Customer shall be the sole responsibility of Fabricator.
