For the non-prorated warranty period, Elk’s liability is limited to the reasonable replacement cost of defective
shingles and application labor or providing replacement shingles of similar design or paying the reasonable
cost for repair of the defective shingles. Thereafter, the replacement cost which Elk will pay will be reduced
by the amount of usage received from the shingles.
1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, 21, 24. Warranty also excludes damage caused by decking nails or
staples backing out and either perforating or pushing up the shingles.
For the first five (5) years after installation, shingles are warranted against blow-offs in winds up to 110 mph if at
least six (6) properly placed nails and Elk Starter Strip shingles are installed and in winds up to 80 mph if at least
four (4) properly placed fasteners are installed.
Elk’s liability for wind damage is limited to Elk’s obligation to pay the reasonable cost of replacing shingles
that have blown off and the reasonable cost of manually sealing any unsealed shingles which have had
adequate exposure to heat. Elk’s wind warranty is conditioned upon installation of the shingles in accordance
with Elk’s application instructions included with each bundle and thermal sealing of the shingles. Shingles
must be exposed to adequate heat from direct sunlight for sealing to occur.
Written notification of alleged defect with a copy of warranty card and proof of purchase to Elk at one of its
four offices within 30 days after discovery of a problem. Owner may be required to provide samples of
shingles and photographs and other requested materials at Owner’s expense.
Decision on which of the stated remedies is provided shall be at Elk’s sole discretion. Within reasonable time
from receipt of the claim, Elk will review claim and may ask for samples and photographs. Elk will make
investigation, including roof top inspection by an Elk employee and laboratory testing of the suspect shingles.
If the investigation reveals manufacturing defects covered by warranty, Elk will provide a settlement within a
reasonable time.
Elk manufactures and sells the shingles.

Warranty may be transferred during the first 10 years by the original owner to the successor purchaser who
purchases or is otherwise transferred the building or premises on which the shingles were properly installed.
The purchaser or transferee must complete and return a Transfer Notification Card and pay a transfer fee of
$2.00 per square within 30 days after the transfer of the building. The Transferee will have five (5) years of
prorated coverage for materials unless the transfer took place within one (1) year of installation, in which case
the Transferee will have the same rights and remedies of the original owner.

Warranty is the sole and exclusive remedy provided by Elk for manufacturing defects. Warranty is in place of
all others, superseding any prior, contrary or other representations. Buyer waives and releases all other
remedies, claims and rights.
No limited warranty assures that the covered products will last the entire length of the applicable warranty period.
Any claim for shingles which have been replaced prior to Elk’s receipt of written notice, samples and on-site
inspection, constitutes spoilage and will be denied.
Any claim not settled within a reasonable time, as a prerequisite to any litigation, shall be submitted to
mediation before a mediator mutually selected by the parties, or if they are unable to agree, by any federal
district court judge whether or not having jurisdiction on the matter or acting in an official capacity.
