WHAT DOESN’T THIS WARRANTY COVER?

• The gutter itself
• Clogging caused by conifers
• damage of any kind resulting from faulty or improper installation;
• changes in surface color resulting from chalking, fading, chiping, cracking soiling or staining. Exposure to the elements may cause these changes over time; the degree
  to which weathering occurs will vary depending on air quality, the building’s location and other local conditions over which we have no control
• accidental damage;
• damage resulting from excessive accumulation of snow or ice caused by poor roof ventilation of insulation.
• damage resulting from the acceleration of snow or ice due to acute pitched roofs or to the roof material (e.g. metal sheet)
• structural shrinkage or distortion of the property structure;

• fire or other cause of building destruction;

• lightning, hurricane, tornado, windstorm, earthquake, hail or other acts of God;
• harmful chemicals (e.g. harmful cleaning compounds and pesticides);
• surface deterioration due to air pollution;
• misuse or abuse;
• vandalism;
• airborne stains, mould and mildew accumulation;
• any cost or expense incurred to clear any blockage or obstruction which is determined to be due to unusual conditions;
• impact of foreign objects;
• black streaks (tiger-stripes) on the front of the eavestrough;
• warping or distortion due to exposure to excessive heat sources (e.g., barbecue grills) or exposure to unusual or excessive reflective heat sources (e.g., skylight or window reflection, roofing materials, pools, decks, blacktop or concrete materials.);
• products that have been painted or whose surface has been altered in any way without written authorization from ALU-REX INC.; or
• any other causes beyond our reasonable control.

OTHER LIMITATIONS

• This warranty covers genuine Gutter Clean System® manufactured by Alu-Rex. It is your responsibility to verify that the Product installed is Gutter Clean System®.
• Due to normal weathering, replacement Product may differ in gloss and color from
  Product originally installed on the property.
• We reserve the right to discontinue or change any design or color of any of our Products at any time and without notice or liability. If, for any reason, Products of the type originally installed are no longer available from us at the time you make a warranty claim, we may substitute another product determined by us to be of
  comparable quality and price.
• There are no warranties on this Product other than as set forth in this warranty. We are not liable to you for a breach of any other written or oral warranties, such as those, if any, given to you by dealers, contractors, applicators, or distributors of the Product.
• Gutter Clean System® is among the most efficient gutter protection systems available for residential applications. In most cases, normal debris is lifted away with only a gentle breeze. In sheltered roof areas or overhangs on shallow pitched roofs, debris may collect where air cannot lift away debris. You must occasionally clear these areas to keep ALU-REX INC. products working properly.
• Direct contact of aluminum products with certain dissimilar materials, or contact with
  water run-off from dissimilar materials, is likely to result in corrosion. Accordingly, care should be taken during installation to avoid contact of aluminum with dissimilar
  materials including dissimilar metals (e.g. copper), concrete, stucco, asbestos siding, pressure treated/pre-treated lumber, roofing materials or roofing systems containing metallic granules or strips, or corrosive non-metallic materials.

ANY REPAIR OF THE PRODUCT UNDERTAKEN WITHOUT PRIOR WRITTEN
AUTHORIZATION FROM ALU-REX INC. WILL VOID THIS WARRANTY.
