1. 2. 3. - STONE CRAFT

1 1. Subject to the following terms, StoneCraft , a Headwaters Company, warrants1 to the original purchaser and subsequent owners that for 50 years from the date of sale its StoneCraft manufactured STONE or brick veneer (collectively referred to in the remainder of this document as the product or the products ) will not blister, peel, flake, delaminate or crack excessively, as a result of manufacturing defects when used on structures conforming to local building codes and installed in accordance with the Masonry Veneer Manufacturer s Association written instructions issued before and closest in time to the beginning of the project.

2 StoneCraft will at its option, either: (1) pay the reasonable replacement cost of the defectively manufactured products (2) provide a replacement of the defective product or pay the reasonable cost for replacement product of a similar design; or (3) pay the reasonable cost for repair of the defective product. This limited warranty applies only to products constituting STONE or brick veneer manufactured by StoneCraft; it does not apply to any other products or materials, including exterior walls, exterior wall envelopes, backing to which StoneCraft veneer is secured, or water-resistive barriers.

3 The definition of veneer contained in the International Building Code is determinative for purposes of establishing what products constitute StoneCraft manufactured STONE or brick veneer and are covered by this warranty. 2. This Limited Warranty is not limited to the original purchaser but covers the STONE regardless of whether ownership of the building changes. This warranty runs with the transfer of the property to subsequent owners of the property into which the warranted products have been incorporated, but the warranty period as to such subsequent owners is limited to 15 years from the original date of the installation of the warranted product.
