Harvey Vinyl Windows manufactured after January 1, 2005 are warranted for residential installations as follows. LIFETIME WARRANTY The extruded, solid vinyl members, screening and component mechanical parts, including locks, keepers, balances, and sash retainers are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns and resides in the house in which they are installed. TWENTY YEAR WARRANTY Insulating glass is warranted against material obstruction of transparency resulting from film formation or dust collection on the interior surfaces for a period of twenty years. TRANSFERABILITY In the event the original purchaser sells the property in which the vinyl windows are installed, the coverage provided by this warranty will be limited to only the next subsequent owner and will be twenty (20) years from the date of manufacture.

This warranty does not cover broken glass; torn screening; damages resulting from improper installation; damages caused by airborne pollutants such as salt or acid rain; negligence or unreasonable use (including failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance); stress resulting from localized application of heat that causes excessive temperature differential over the glass surface or the edges of the unit; damage resulting from fire, lightning, windstorms, earthquakes, windborne objects, strain applied to the unit by movement of the building or inadequate provision for expansion or contraction of framing members; condensation on windows, which is a natural result of humidity within the house and the difference between the internal and exterior temperatures; installation in ships, vehicles, or outside the continental United States; seal failure if the seal has been subject to immersion in water; acts of God or other causes beyond the control of the manufacturer. This warranty covers only manufacturing defects, is limited to repairing or replacing defective parts or components, and providing return transportation to the manufacturer's nearest place of business, and does not include labor or other costs incurred in the removal, replacement, installation, or reinstallation of the product or any part or component of the product. Harvey Industries reserves the right to discontinue or modify any of its products without notice and will not be liable under this limited warranty as a result of such discontinuance or modification and will have the right to substitute products which, in its sole discretion, are of equal value and quality. Locking or non-locking screens will not stop a child from falling out a window. Screens are not intended to act as a human barrier. This warranty is intended to cover individual homeowners and does not apply to products purchased by or installed in commercial applications such as property owned by, corporations, governmental agencies, partnerships, trusts, religious organizations, schools, or cooperative housing arrangements, or installed on apartment buildings or any other type of buildings or premises not used by individual homeowners as their residence. For such purchasers or entities to which this coverage does not apply, the warranty period will be (10) years following the date of original installation.
