LIFETIME COVERAGE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR COMMERCIAL AND MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES <br />* 15-year Smart Choice® Protection Period for the StainGuard Plus™ Algae Protection Limited Warranty applies only if you install both StainGuard Plus™-labeled shingles and ridge cap shingles. For all other installations, the Smart Choice® <br />Protection Period is 10-years. <br />      ** Smart Choice® Protection Period: refers to the crucial period of time following installation of the GAF Products during which the coverage provided for in this limited warranty is non-prorated. After the Smart Choice® Protection Period specified <br />above, the remedy provided for in this warranty may be different than that provided for during the Smart Choice® Protection Period, and any remedy will be reduced to reflect the use you have received from your GAF Products. The amount of use <br />will be calculated by dividing the number of months which have elapsed since installation to the date of claim by the number of months in the warranty term. After the non-prorated period, GAF’s maximum liability shall NOT exceed three times <br />the reasonable cost of replacement GAF Products before any reduction for use. <br />    *** Special Installation: Your GAF LayerLock™-labeled shingles will be covered up to the maximum wind speed above ONLY if installed using 4 nails per shingle and you have GAF Starter Strip Products installed at the eaves and rakes. Special <br />Installation for all other GAF Shingles requires use of 6 nails per shingle and GAF Starter Strip Products installed at the eaves and rakes. Your GAF Ridge Cap Shingles will be covered up to the maximum wind speed above ONLY if your ridge cap <br />shingles are installed in strict accordance with the “Maximum Wind Speed Coverage Under Limited Warranty” section of the applicable ridge cap shingle application instructions. <br />  *** *WindProven™ Limited Wind Warranty requires installation of LayerLock™-labeled shingles using 4 nails per shingle, and at least four (4) qualifying accessories. <br />**** *Misapplication Coverage: Misapplication Coverage Terms listed above pertain to GAF Shingles and Accessories installed on single-family detached residences owned by individual(s). For other types of owners or buildings, <br /> coverage lasts for 20 years. <br />Transferability <br />You may transfer or assign this limited warranty to a subsequent owner of this property for the remaining term only if the request is in writing to GAF at the address listed below within 1 year <br />after ownership transfer. This limited warranty may be transferred only once. Other than this one transfer, this warranty is NOT otherwise transferable or assignable by contract or by operation <br />of law, either directly or indirectly. If the transfer takes place within the first 20 years after installation, the second owner is entitled to the same coverage as the original owner. If the transfer <br />takes place afterwards, the length of this warranty shall be reduced to the two-year period after ownership changes. During this two-year period, GAF’s reimbursement to the second owner <br />will be based only on the reasonable cost of replacement GAF Products, reduced by the amount of use that has been received from the GAF Products from date of installation through the <br />date of claim. <br />continued on next page <br />Golden Pledge® Limited Warranty <br />for Commercial and Multi-Family Properties <br />Page 69 of 89
