Sun Windows, Inc. will replace or repair (at its discretion) any product which may be defective and will do so in the same state as originally furnished (refinishing or repainting is the responsibility of the consumer). All products should be thoroughly inspected for damage or defects when the products are received and before installation and finishing. Sun Windows, Inc. should be promptly notified of any item deemed unsatisfactory when it is received. Operating Hardware While all window hardware is manufactured by others, Sun Windows, Inc. provides a warranty against defects or errors in workmanship. It will be the owner(s) responsibility to complete the replacement. Single Hung, Double Hung, Single Slider and Three Panel End Vents Sash Lock Assemblies are warranted for 5 years. Single Hung and Double Hung balance assemblies are considered moving parts and require periodic maintenance and occasional replacement to maintain good energy efficiency and operation. The balance assemblies are warranted for 2 years. Insulated Glass Sun Windows, Inc. guarantees and warrants that each insulated glass unit installed in a Sun New Construction Vinyl Window shall be free from material obstruction to the vision due to the formation of a residual film or dust collection on the interior surfaces of the insulated glass unit resulting from failure of the hermetic seal. This product warranty only covers factory glazed glass installed in Sun Vinyl Windows and deals exclusively with such insulated glass unit components of your window. During the first ten years after the date of manufacture, Sun Windows obligation, under the terms of this warranty, shall be limited to, at its option and expense, either the provision of comparable new replacement Sun Windows insulated glass, or reimbursement of the original purchase price, for any insulated glass which it determines to be defective in materials and workmanship under normal use and service. This warranty does not cover distorted, cracked, broken, or scratched glass after the product has been received. Seal failure due to cracked or broken glass is not covered. Careful inspection of the product for damage must be made upon receiving, and before accepting, any Sun Window product. General Provisions All Sun New Construction Vinyl Windows are designed to be installed in standard vertical wall construction. They are not designed to be installed in any non-standard installation including, but not limited to: installation in a non-vertical (sloped) surface; upside down; in a roof or ceiling; rotated to any position in which the manufactured bottom is not level on the horizontal plane. Any such application voids the warranty. Installation is not provided by Sun Windows, Inc. and therefore cannot be covered by Sun Windows, Inc.. All Sun New Construction Vinyl Windows come with detailed installation instructions and must be installed according to these instructions. Proper installation is required for the products to be covered by this warranty. This includes: leveling and squaring the window; proper shimming of the jambs; Caulking behind the nailing fins; insulation applied between the window frame and the rough opening; and vapor barrier applied to seal the window opening. Caulking is used to seal the window frames and trim against air and water penetration. Caulking is not considered part of the window, is not sold or furnished by Sun Windows, Inc., and therefore is not covered under this warranty. Caulking is considered a maintenance responsibility of the consumer. Improper installation voids any warranty by Sun Windows, Inc. Product Failure or operating difficulties due to: accident; abuse; misuse; alteration; misapplication; faulty building construction or design; exposure to the elements; improper or insufficient handling; storage; improper installation; lack of maintenance or service; installation in sloped glazing. Also excluded from these warranties are failures or operating difficulties resulting from the exposure to corrosive fumes or condensates; subjection to stress from movement of structure; exposure to high heat sources; use of any films or coatings on the glass; or use in or near swimming pools or other high humidity areas without adequate ventilation and humidity control. This warranty covers only those manufacturing and material defects as specified herein and only if they arise during normal use and service.
