Limited Warranty: ATLAS ROOFING CORPORATION (“Atlas”) warrants to you, the original owner of its roofing product, that the roofing products listed in the chart below, are free from manufacturing defects, which result in leaks.

 

Premium Protection Period: The limited warranty is the sole and exclusive remedy, and during the warranty period specified in the chart below, the maximum repair or replacement cost to ATLAS shall not exceed during the Premium Protection years, the replacement cost to the owner for the product plus replacement application cost (exclusive of metal work, flashing or other work). During the remaining Warranty period, ATLAS will adjust valid claims (materially affected by a manufacturing defect), by an amount determined by decreasing monthly the replacement cost of the product only in proportion to the unexpired warranty period. In no event shall ATLAS’ liability extend to any cost for the tear off of the product or for the replacement installation cost of the new product during the prorated period.

 

Atlas Signature Select™ Premium Protection Period: Atlas offers the homeowner double coverage on their Premium Protection Period under the Signature Select™ Roofing Program. Your roof may qualify as an Atlas Signature Select™ Roof if specific Atlas products have been properly installed and may qualify for DOUBLE the normal years of coverage of our standard Premium Protection Period if four (4) additional Atlas products are installed.

 

Limited Wind Warranty: (covers Shingles only) ATLAS warrants that its shingles will resist damage by wind gusts up to a maximum of the Wind Speed Limits specified herein for the first five (5) years only, from the date of installation provided that the shingles have been installed in accordance with the printed application instructions on the shingle bundle wrapper, and have had the opportunity to seal down. If during this five (5) year period, damage occurs to the shingles as a result of wind gusts under the specified Wind Speed Limits, ATLAS will furnish at no charge, replacement shingles for the damaged shingles only, but not for replacement labor.

 

Sealant Feature: In order to activate the sealant feature, the shingles must be exposed to direct sunlight for a continued period of time for the shingles to seal. Shingles installed in fall or winter and not exposed to adequate surface temperatures, or other conditions, which temporarily or permanently preclude activation of the sealant, may never seal and must be hand sealed at the time of installation.  It is not a manufacturing defect if shingles fail to seal under the above circumstances, and Atlas will not be responsible for repair, replacement, or hand sealing shingles under these circumstances.  However, in the event the shingles fail to self-seal after proper installation and climactic exposure, and Atlas is notified within the first year after installation, ATLAS’ sole responsibility shall be to pay a reasonable cost to hand seal the affected shingles.

 

Limited Algae Resistant Warranty: (if applicable) ATLAS warrants that its algae resistance shingles (ARS) will remain free of obvious and unsightly discoloration due to algae growth for a period of ten (10) years from the date of installation. In the event the algae resistant shingles fail to meet this coverage, ATLAS’ sole and only liability shall be to pay the reasonable cost of repair or replacement of the defective shingles, up to the following limits: (a) during the Premium Protection Period, the maximum repair or replacement to ATLAS shall be the replacement cost of those shingles exhibiting discoloration due to algae, including replacement installation cost; (b) during the remainder of the algae warranty period (if applicable), the maximum repair or replacement cost to ATLAS shall be the replacement cost of those shingles exhibiting algae discoloration, in proportion to the unexpired warranty period, excluding all installation costs.
