Lifetime Limited Warranty
Model 9700
Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Lifetime Limited Warranty, Wayne-Dalton (“Manufacturer”) warrants the sections of the door, which is described at the top of this page, for as long as you own the door against:
(i)Peeling, cracking, or chalking of the original factory-applied coating on the door as a result of a defect in the original factory-applied coating or in the application of the original factory-applied coating, in cases where the door sections and the original factory-applied coating: (a) have not been subjected to adverse atmospheric conditions or contaminates (such as salt water or other marine environment, or to toxic or abrasive substances, including those in the air); (b) have been maintained in compliance with Manufacturer’s recommendations; and (c) have not been subject to physical abrasion, impacted by a hard object, or have been punc- tured.
(ii)The door becoming inoperable due to rust-through of the steel skin from the core of the door section, caused by cracking, splitting, or other deterioration of the steel skin, or due to structural failure caused by separation or degradation of the foam insulation.
The Manufacturer warrants the garage door hardware (except springs) and the tracks of the above-described door, for as long as you own the door, against defects in material and workmanship, subject to all the terms and conditions below.
The Manufacturer warrants those component parts of the door not covered by the preceding provisions of this Lifetime Limited Warranty against defects in material and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of installation.
The Manufacturer warrants the factory-applied finish and the factory attached stiles against fading and cosmetic changes from the time of installation for TWO (2) YEARS. The factory attached stiles are warranted against peeling, cracking, chalking, or delamination from the time of installation for TWO (2) YEARS. If the door is re-stained or re-painted, the TWO (2) YEARS warranty for the factory-applied finish is void.
After a period of TWENTY (20) YEARS, from time of installation, replacement of Lifetime Limited Warranty materials will be pro-rated at 50 per cent of Manufacturer’s published list pricing at time of claim, and you must pay this amount.
This Limited Warranty is extended only to the person who purchased the product and continues to own the premises (where the door is installed) as his/her primary residence (“Buyer”). This Limited Warranty does not apply to residences other than primary, or to commercial or industrial installations, or to installations on rental property (even when used by a tenant as a residence). This Limited Warranty is not transferable to any other person (even when the premises is sold), nor does it extend benefits to any other person. As a result this Limited Warranty does NOT apply to any person who purchases the product from someone other than an authorized Wayne-Dalton dealer or distributor.
The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage attributable to improper storage, improper installation, or any alteration of the door or its com- ponents, abuse, damage from corrosive fumes or substances, salt spray or saltwater air, fire, Acts of God, failure to properly maintain the door, or attempt to use the door, its components or related products for other than its intended purpose and its customary usage. This Limited Warranty does not cover ordinary wear. This Limited Warranty will be voided if the original finish is painted over, unless Manufacturer’s preparation and painting instructions are followed explicitly. This Limited Warranty will be voided if any holes are drilled into the door, other than those specified by the Manufacturer.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS A CONSUMER PRODUCT AS DEFINED BY THE MAGNUSON-MOSS ACT. NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) WILL EXTEND BEYOND THE TIME PERIOD SET FORTH IN UNDERSCORED BOLD FACE TYPE IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, ABOVE.
•Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
Any claim under this Limited Warranty must be made in writing, within the applicable warranty period, to the dealer from which the product was purchased. Unless the dealer is no longer in business, a written claim to the Manufacturer will be the same as if no claim had been made at all.
At the Manufacturer’s option, pursuant to the dealer having notified the Manufacturer of a warranty claim, a service representative may inspect the product on site, or Buyer may be required to return the product to the Manufacturer at Buyer’s expense. Buyer agrees to cooperate with any representative of the Manufacturer and to give such representative full access to the product with the claimed defect and full access to the location of its installation.
If the Manufacturer determines that the claim is valid under the terms of this Limited Warranty, the Manufacturer will cause the defective product to be repaired or replaced. The decision about the manner in which the defect will be remedied will be at the discretion of the Manufacturer, subject to applicable law. THE REMEDY WILL COVER ONLY MATERIAL. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER OTHER CHARGES, SUCH AS FIELD SERVICE LABOR FOR REMOVAL, INSTAL- LATION, PAINTING, SHIPPING, ETC.
Any repairs or replacements arranged by Manufacturer will be covered by (and subject to) the terms, conditions, limitations and exceptions of this Limited Warranty; provided, however, that the installation date for the repaired or replaced product will be deemed to be the date the original product was installed, and this Limited Warranty will expire at the same time as if there had been no defect. If a claim under this Limited Warranty is resolved in a manner other than described in the immediately preceding paragraph, then neither this Limited Warranty nor any other warranty from the Manufacturer will cover the repaired or replaced portion of the product.
THE REMEDIES FOR THE BUYER DESCRIBED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE EXCLUSIVE and take the place of any other remedy. The liability of the Manufacturer, whether in contract or tort, under warranty, product liability, or otherwise, will not go beyond the Manufacturer’s obligation to repair or replace, at its op- tion, as described above. THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, including (but not limited to) damage or loss of other property or equipment, personal injury, loss of profits or revenues, business or service interruptions, cost of capital
,cost of purchase or replacement of other goods, or claims of third parties for any of the foregoing.
•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.
No employee, distributor, dealer, representative, or other person has the authority to modify any term or condition contained in this Limited Warranty or to grant any other warranty on behalf of or binding on the Manufacturer, and anyone’s attempt to do so will be null and void.
Buyer should be prepared to verify the date of installation to the satisfaction of the Manufacturer.
The rights and obligations of the Manufacturer and Buyer under this Limited Warranty will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, to the extent permitted by law.
•This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which may vary from State to State.
