| Full
Lifetime Warranty For as Long as You Own and Reside
in Your Home
Milgard Manufacturing Incorporated ("Milgard")
guarantees to the original consumer purchaser ("Original
Purchaser") of Milgard windows, doors* or skylights
(hereafter referred to as "Products")
installed in a single family home or a multi-family
home unit ("Home") by the builder as new
construction or by the Original Purchaser as replacements,
that Milgard will repair or replace any such Milgard
Products** that are defective in materials or workmanship
and will pay the costs of all parts and labor. If
repair is not commercially practical or cannot timely
be made, then Milgard will, at the Original Purchaser's
option, either replace any defective Milgard Products
or refund the purchase price.
Persons Covered
This Warranty extends to the Original Purchaser
of Milgard Products. The Warranty starts on the
date of purchase of the Home as new construction
or the installation of Milgard windows, doors or
skylights in the Home as replacements ("Start
Date") and remains effective as long as the
Original Purchaser owns and resides in the Home.
In addition, if the Original Purchaser sells the
Home before ten (10) years has elapsed after the
Start Date, Milgard will automatically extend full
coverage under this Warranty to the new owner(s)
of the Home and any subsequent owners, until the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the Start Date.
Exclusions from Coverage
This Warranty does not cover damage or defects relating
to misuse, abuse, the use of applied tints or films,
alterations including but not limited to customer-applied
finishes, normal wear and tear, broken glass***,
natural weathering of exterior finishes, acts of
nature (e.g. fire, hurricane, etc.), building settling,
structural failures of walls or foundations or improper
installation, storage, or handling or failure to
properly care for and maintain the Milgard Products****.
Normal wear, including discoloration, on hardware
component finishes is not a defect and is not covered
by this Warranty. Loss of functionality of hardware
(except as provided below for stainless steel hardware*****)
in highly corrosive environments, which includes
any Home located within two miles of salt water
and any Home located in the State of Hawaii, is
also excluded from coverage. This Warranty does
not apply to any Milgard Products that are installed
in a Home that has a non-drainable EIFS or DEFS
siding product.
Milgard WoodClad™ fiberglass
windows and doors may, as an option, be purchased
with unfinished wood interior surfaces that must
be finished prior to, or immediately after installation
for maximum protection. Unfinished wood surfaces
that experience water damage at the jobsite or are
left unfinished after installation and become stained
or damaged will not be considered as defective in
materials or workmanship under the terms of this
Warranty.
Limitations on Remedies
In no event will Milgard be liable for incidental
or consequential damages (other than labor to repair
or replace Products, screens or stainless steel
hardware under this Warranty), whether based on
breach of express or implied warranty, breach of
contract, negligence, strict liability or any other
legal theory. Some states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you.
State Remedies
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may have other rights which vary from state
to state.
* Fiberglass Doors
Within Milgard's fiberglass door offerings, only
the Ultra™ and WoodClad™ product series
are covered by this Full Lifetime Warranty. Milgard
Fiberglass Entry Door Systems are not covered under
this warranty, but are covered by a Limited Warranty,
which may be viewed at http://milgard.com/about-milgard/fiberglass-entry-door-warranty.asp.
**Screens
Milgard will replace any Milgard window or door
screen frame and mesh that is defective in materials
or workmanship at no charge to the Original Purchaser
(Milgard will pay for parts and labor) for a period
of one (1) year after Start Date.
***TUSCANY™ SERIES COVERAGE FOR GLASS
BREAKAGE
For the Tuscany™ series of Milgard Products
only, the Full Lifetime Warranty will extend to
glass breakage including tempered glass, unless
attributable to acts of nature (e.g. fire, hurricane,
etc.), civil disorder, building settling, structural
failures of walls or foundations or improper installation,
storage, or handling. Specialty glass (e.g. V-Groove,
laminated glass) is not covered by this glass breakage
warranty.

Please see and carefully follow the Care and Maintenance
Instructions on the second page of the downloadable
certificate (below) or go to Milgard's Care and
Maintenance webpage.

Milgard will replace at no charge (parts and/or

year after the date of installation of the windows,
doors or skylights as new construction or as replacements. |
