The WaterFall® Gutter Guard System
Limited Product Warranty
Warranty Statement
The manufacturer warrants, for a period of five years from the date of installation, that The WaterFall
Gutter Guard System will not peel, blister, pit, flake, corrode, or
weather in an uneven or non-uniform manner, as a result of
manufacturing defects. If any part or portion of The WaterFall
Gutter Guard System fails during that five year period to so perform as
a result of manufacturing defects, the manufacturer warrants that the
defective material will be replaced. (Limited to the cost of the
material only, not including the installation costs).
Weathering
The
term “weathering” refers to the appearance of the color of the gutter
guard lineals. Exposure to elements can be expected to cause gradual
and uniform color change. This can vary depending on geographical
location. A gradual and uniform color change is not a defect hereunder.
A defect is defined as any weathering change that occurs on specific
exposed sections of lineals in a manner that varies from lineal to
lineal (checkerboard effect). It is normal for a weathered lineal to
have slight and unobjectionable shade differences in the area of the
edges and undersides. A defect will be remedied by the replacement of
the material directly affected. A color variance may also occur between
any new replacement lineals in comparison to the originally installed
lineals due to weathering exposure, and is not indicative of defective
material.
Buyer’s Responsibilities
Within
a reasonable time after discovery of a suspected manufacturing defect,
send a brief written explanation of the defect, along with your dated
proof of purchase to: Crane Products, Ltd. - The WaterFall
Warranty, P.O. Box1898, Columbus, OH 43216-1898. Upon receipt of this
correspondence, the manufacturer may request any additional
information, including appropriate photos, and may require a field
inspection by a manufacturer’s representative. The manufacturer will
communicate with you regarding its determination of coverage under this
warranty, and regarding any replacement materials to be provided.
Limitations and Exclusions
This
warranty does not cover damage or defect caused by settlement or
shifting of structural members or adjoining surfaces, or structural
defects of the roof or gutters, fire, wind, flood, lightning or other
acts of God, intentional acts and unreasonable use, accident,
negligence, exposure to harmful chemicals, pollutants, mildew or
airborne stains.
This limited warranty covers only The WaterFall Gutter
Guard System. It does not cover the gutter, fascia boards, or roof
substrate or surface, or any damage to those items caused by
installation of The WaterFall Gutter Guard System.
The WaterFall Gutter Guard System does not increase the strength of the
gutter structure itself, and does not enable the gutter to support
weight. Standing on or hanging from the gutter is not advisable, and
the manufacturer shall have no liability for any damage resulting from
such contact.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR OTHER WARRANTIES EXCETP AS CONTAINED IN THIS
WARANTY STATEMENT, AND THE WARRANTY STATEMENT IS IN LIEU OF, AND

REPLACEMENT OBLIGATION SPECIFICALLY UNDERTAKEN HERIN, AND IN NO EVENT
SHALL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR LABOR, INSTALLATION, FREIGHT,
TAXES OR ANY OTHER CHARGES. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
ANY INCIDENTIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANYKIND WHATSOVER,
WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS BASED UPON THEORIES OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR
TORT. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
INCIDENTIAL ORCONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR
EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT THE SELECT CONTRACTOR AND DOES NOT WARRANT
DAMAGE OR DEFECT CAUSED BY FAULTY INSTALLATION. PROPER INSTALLATION IS
DEFINEDAS OUTLINED IN THE INSTALLMENT INSTRUCTION. FAULTY INSTALLATION
OF THIS PRODUCT WHICH GIVES RISE TO A DEFECT RENDERS WARRANTY COVERAGE

vary the terms of its warranty program or to assume for it any
liability in addition to that set forth in this warranty statement.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary, from state to state.
