Product Warranties

NOTE 19. PRODUCT WARRANTIES

We provide limited warranties for defects in materials or factory workmanship, sagging and warping, and certain other manufacturing defects.  Our product warranties place certain requirements on the purchaser, including installation and maintenance in accordance with our written instructions.  In addition to our warranty program, under certain limited circumstances, we will occasionally and at our sole discretion, provide a customer accommodation repair or replacement.  Warranty repairs and replacements are most commonly made by professional installers employed by or affiliated with our independent distributors.  Reimbursement for cost associated with warranty repairs are provided to our independent distributors through a credit against accounts receivable from the distributor to us.
