Warranty

    1. WHAT THE LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS AND FOR HOW LONG

      a)LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY FOR HOMEOWNERS Subject to the limitations and exclusions below, Fypon LLC (“Seller”), warrants to only the original owner of the residential dwelling (and to the builder or contractor of the dwelling) in which or on a Fypon® product (“Product”) is initially installed (“Warranty Holder”), provided the Product remains in the position of original installation, that the Product will be free from non-conformities in material and workmanship for as long as the original owner owns such dwelling (“Warranty Period”). The Warranty Holder may not transfer this Limited Warranty to any other party. b) 4-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY FOR OWNERS OF COMMERCIAL OR MULTIRESIDENT PREMISES Notwithstanding the above provision, and subject to the limitations and exclusions below, if the Product is initially installed in a commercial or investment premises, or a multiresident premises (such as, but not limited to a condominium, townhouse, duplex, apartment building, or cooperative) and the occupant of such premises is normally not responsible for repair or replacement of the Product, Seller warrants to the party who owns that premises or is otherwise responsible for repair or replacement of the Product (and to the builder or contractor) (“Warranty Holder”), provided the Product remains in the position of original installation on such premises, that the Product will be free from non-conformities in material and workmanship for a period of 4 years (“Warranty Period”) from the date the Product was originally purchased from the Seller or an authorized dealer. This 4-year Limited Warranty is transferable during the Warranty Period. By way of clarification, if Product is installed in a residential dwelling inside a multi-resident premises (by way of example, a condominium unit “residential dwelling” in a condominium building “multi-resident premises”) but the owner of that residential dwelling is responsible for repair and replacement of the Product, then the above Lifetime Limited Warranty for Homeowners applies and extends to the original owner of the dwelling (and to the builder or contractor of the dwelling), as indicated in the previous section. If, on the other hand, the owner of the multi-resident premises (the condominium association or apartment building owner, for instance) is responsible for the repair or replacement of the Product in or on the dwelling, then the 4-Year Limited Warranty applies and extends to the owner of the multi-resident premises (and to the builder or contractor of the premises).
