MACROLUX™ AND ROOFLITE™ SHEET WARRANTY
Against yellowing, aging and hailstones

The following warranty is the sole warranty given by CO-EX Corporation to the user of MACROLUX and ROOFLITE sheets and is limited to sheets purchased and installed in North America.

1. WARRANTY PERIOD
The warranty period is two (2) years from the date of invoice. However, the warranty period may be extended to ten (10) years from date of invoice if the user returns the fully completed warranty form attached hereto within sixty (60) days from the date of the invoice.

2. LOSS IN LIGHT TRANSMISSION

The deterioration in transparency when measured in accordance with ASTM D1003 in comparison with the original sample is warranted not to exceed:

  • For MACROLUX LL colorless, ROOFLITE LL colorless, four percent (4%) during the first two (2) years, and ten percent (10%) if the warranty period was extended to ten (10) years as provided in Paragraph

  • For MACROLUX LL translucent colored, ROOFLITE LL translucent colored, MACROLUX SL, MACROLUX HR, MACROLUX Athermic and ROOFLITE HR, and ROOFLITE Athermic, eight percent (8%) during the first two
    (2) years and fourteen percent (14%) if the warranty period is extended to ten (10) years.

3. YELLOWING
The yellowing of the sheets compared to the initial value when measured in accordance with ASTM D1925 compared to the initial value is warranted not to exceed

  • For MACROLUX LL colorless, ROOFLITE LL colorless, the sheeting will not undergo a variation of 8 DELTA during the first two (2) years and 13 DELTA if the warranty period is extended to ten (10) years.

  • For MACROLUX LL translucent colored, ROOFLITE LL translucent colored, MACROLUX SL, MACROLUX HR, MACROLUX Athermic and ROOFLITE HR, and ROOFLITE Athermic, 10 DELTA during the first two (2) years and 15 DELTA if the warranty period is extended for ten years.

4. DAMAGE DUE TO HAIL
During the warranty period CO-EX warrants that hail will not produce holes in the external surface of MACROLUX LL colorless and MACROLUX LL translucent colored, MACROLUX SL, MACROLUX HR and MACROLUX Athermic panels. Damage due to hail is evidenced by holes in the external wall of the sheet in an even and diffuse manner.

The determination of the damage as being caused by hail may be made by a simulated hail storm on the challenged sheet by a test. Standardized artificial grains of a diameter of 20 mm strike the outer surface of the sheet at a speed of 21 m/sec. If this test does not produce holes in the external wall, the claim will be rejected.

5. CO-EX OBLIGATIONS
CO-EX’s warranty obligations are as follows:

  1. CO-EX, at its option, will replace the defective shee ts F.O.B. Wallingford, CT or make a monetary payment to the user based upon the price which the user paid to the distributor to whom CO-EX delivered the defective sheets.
  2. The warranty obligation does not include the cost of reinstallation or fabrication expenses or any other direct or indirect loss which may result from sheet failure.
  3. When CO-EX elects to compensate the user for the sheet which is found to have failed the warranty, the amount to be paid will be calculated on the basis of the purchase price paid by the user: 100% of the price for the first 2 years from the invoice date. If the warranty period has been extended to 10 years, the amount to be paid will be 100% during the period of 3-5 years from the invoice date. During the period of 5-10 years from the invoice date, the amount of the invoice price to be will be reduced by five percent (5%) for each six-month period beyond the fifth year.

6. USER OBLIGATIONS
