Coverage Under This Warranty
This Warranty is
extended to you as the Property Owner(s) identified in this Warranty
Certificate ("Certificate") and the attached Warranty Registration
Card by Englert Inc. ("Englert"). Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Certificate, Englert warrants that the
seamless aluminum gutter/rain carrying accessories identified in
this Certificate and installed on the Property identified in this
Certificate and the attached Warranty Registration Card ("the
Property"), will not blister, flake, chip, crack, peel, split, rot,
red rust, or structurally deteriorate as a direct result of
manufacturing defects, for a period of twenty (20) years from the
date of original installation, provided that the cleaning methods,
as described on the other side of the Certificate, have been fully
followed. Reference in this Warranty to seamless aluminum gutters
means aluminum gutters shaped and rollformed from Englert's aluminum
gutter coils and installed on the Property.
Owner(s) Responsibilities in the Event of a
Defect or Complaint
If you believe or
find that your seamless aluminum gutters or gutter accessories
exhibit a manufacturing defect covered by this Warranty, simply
write to Warranty Department, Englert Inc., 1200 Amboy Avenue, PO
Box 149, Perth Amboy, NJ 08862. Describe the defect and provide your
name, property address, date of installation, and copy of this
Certificate. In order to qualify for warranty coverage, you must
submit in writing within forty-five (45) days from the date the
defect is first discovered, noticed, or reasonably could have been

Englert will
respond to you within a reasonable period of time after we receive
your claim, and reserve the right to require you to furnish proof of
purchase. Furthermore, Englert reserves the right to inspect the
gutters or gutter accessories claimed to be defective, within a
reasonable period of time after receipt of your claim.
Remedies Under This Warranty
Englert will, at its option, either repaint, repair, or otherwise
replace the defective seamless aluminum gutters or gutter
accessories, if it is determined that the claimed defect is covered
by this Warranty as follows: If the defect is reported to Englert
during the first year following the date of original installation of
the defective aluminum gutters or gutter accessories, Englert will
pay 100% of the cost of repainting, repairing, or otherwise
replacing the defective aluminum gutters or gutter accessories. For
each succeeding year thereafter, through the fifth (5th) year,
Englert's portion of such costs will be reduced by ten percent (10%)
per year. During the sixth (6th) year, and each succeeding year
thereafter, through the fourteenth (14th) year, Englert's portion of
such costs will be reduced by five percent (5%) per year. From the
fifteenth (15th) year through the twentieth (20th) year, Englert's
portion of such cost will be ten percent (10%) of the original cost
of installation, including material costs. Englert reserves the
right to require you to pay in advance, your portion of the costs
for repainting, repairing, or otherwise replacing the defective
seamless aluminum gutters or gutter accessories. It will be solely
at Englert's discretion, as to how it will repair or replace the
defective seamless aluminum gutters, namely by repainting,
repairing, or replacing.
THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY EXPRESS
WARRANTIES EXTENDED BY ENGLERT ON YOUR SEAMLESS ALUMINUM GUTTERS
AND/OR GUTTER ACCESSORIES. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS
CERTIFICATE SHALL CONSTITUTE YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES, AND ENGLERT'S
SOLE LIABILITY FOR BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS
CERTIFICATE. ENGLERT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN REGARDS TO THE BREACH OF ANY
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR SEAMLESS
ALUMINUM GUTTERS AND ACCESSORIES.
Some States do
not allow the exclusion or limitations of consequential or
incidental damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not
apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights that may vary from one State to another.
The Warranty
period for any repainted, repaired, or replaced seamless aluminum
gutters or gutter accessories, will be the remaining unexpired
portion of the original Warranty period for your seamless aluminum
gutters or gutter accessories.
A color
variation may occur between replacement products in comparison with
the originally installed products due to the normal weathering and
aging of the originally installed products. This will not be deemed
as a defect in either the replacement products or the originally
installed products.
Englert
reserves the right to discontinue or modify any continuous seamless
aluminum gutter coil or gutter accessories. In the event that any of
the original products are no longer available, Englert reserves the
right to substitute products of comparable quality. Englert also
reserves the right to discontinue any particular color. In the event
that any of the original colors are no longer available, Englert
will substitute one of its currently available colors, matching
closely to your existing aluminum seamless gutters.
Conditions Not Covered By This Warranty
his Warranty covers only the particular defects described in this
Certificate, and only if they arise during normal use and service,
subject to normal wear and tear. It does not cover defects
attributable to causes or occurrences beyond Englert's control and
unrelated to the manufacturing process, including, but limited to,
faulty or improper installation, normal weathering, oxidation,
exposure to corrosive atmospheric (such as those contaminated with
salt or salt spray, acid rain, harmful chemicals, or vapors,)
mildew, unreasonable use, misuse, physical abuse, accidental damage,
vandalism, use of incompatible accessories, fire, flood, earthquake,
lightening, radiation, ice or windstorms, hail or other acts of God,
wind-borne objects, building settlement, structural failures
(including walls and foundations), or the use of harmful cleaning
compounds. Englert is not responsible for any damage to your
seamless aluminum gutters which occurs during or as a result of the
shaping or forming of your seamless aluminum gutters. Such damage is
the sole responsibility of the dealer from whom you make the initial
purpose.
Uniform fading
(color change) is not covered by this Warranty, since normal
weathering and aging process will cause any colored surface to fade,
darken, chalk, or acquire a surface accumulation of dirt and stains.
The severity of these conditions depend on air quality, the
geographic location of your property, and other local conditions
over which Englert has no control. Normal weathering is defined as
exposure to sunlight and extremes of weather and temperatures.
Non-uniform
fading and color change resulting from unequal exposure of your
seamless aluminum gutters or gutter accessories to the sun and
elements, are not covered by this Warranty.
This Warranty
is extended only to you as the original property owner(s), and may
not be assigned or otherwise transferred. All Englert's seamless
aluminum gutters or gutter accessories installed, within one-half
(1/2) mile radius from the seacoast, are excluded from Englert's
Warranty.
Registration of Warranty Coverage
IN ORDER FOR YOU TO SECURE COVERAGE UNDER THE WARRANTY, A WARRANTY
REGISTRATION CARD MUST BE COMPLETED AND SIGNED BY YOU AND THE DEALER
WHO INSTALLED THE PRODUCTS ON THE PROPERTY COVERED BY THE WARRANTY,
AND MUST BE RETURNED TO ENGLERT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE
COMPLETION OF THE INSTALLATION.
This Warranty
may not be applicable unless Englert has been paid by its Dealer for
materials purchased for application onto your home. Check with the
Englert Dealer doing your installation to assure that you are
getting coverage extended under this Warranty. |

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SEAMLESS GUTTERS & RAINWARE
PRODUCTS
Normal Conditions
The CastleClad
Finish on your seamless gutter and rainware products is one like any
other colored or painted surface, subject to chalking and some
degree of color change, due to normal atmospheric weather conditions
and dirt accumulation, depending on the atmosphere to which your
subdivision is exposed. Under normal conditions, objectionable
superficial surface dirt can be removed by washing down the gutters
with a garden hose and a soft bristle brush. While weathering occurs
through exposure to the sunlight or extreme weather conditions, the
CastleClad Finish resists the associated problems of peeling,
chipping and blistering. In addition to resistance to chipping,
peeling and blistering, the CastleClad Coatings are formulated to
resist fading (color change) due to normal weathering for a
reasonable period of time, depending on the atmospheric conditions
to which your home is exposed. The CastleClad Finish has built-in
color retention ability. It resists dirt and stands up to the
environment better. The resistance to dirt adhesion provides a
self-cleaning feature, which helps to greatly minimize loose surface
dirt, caused by normal rainfall.
Unusual Conditions
In industrial
areas, where a more thorough cleaning is necessary for stains
resulting from tree sap, insecticides, chimney fumes, etc., the
finish should be washed with a sponge or soft bristle brush and a
solution of detergent and water (1/3 cup of detergent such as Tide,
per gallon of water, for example). Immediately rinse surfaces
thoroughly with a garden hose. Avoid vigorous rubbing as this can
cause the coating to lose its luster and finish. To minimize
streaking, wash from bottom to top.
In some
geographic locations, mildew may appear as black spots. Mildew can
be removed by treating the gutters with the cleaning solution
described below. The solution can either be sprayed or sponge
applied with a soft bristle brush. Allow it to remain for 15 to 20
minutes, and then rinse clean with a hose. Adequate rinsing is
recommended to assure cleansing of the finish and further dilute the
solution, so as not to harm shrubbery under gutter and fascia areas.
Test the solution, or clean a small area before application to large
areas. Avoid skin contact or getting the solution into your eyes.
