- 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.
-

The warranty period is ten (10) years from the date of invoice.
-
Ten percent (10%) for Macrolux® LL colorless, Rooflite® LL colorless and Rooflite® XL colorless.
-
Fourteen percent (14%) for Macrolux® LL translucent colored, Rooflite® LL translucent colored, Rooflite® XL translucent colored, Macrolux® SL, Macrolux® IR, Macrolux® HS, Macrolux® Athermic and Rooflite® HS, and Rooflite® Athermic.
-

5. DAMAGE DUE TO HAIL
During the warranty period CO-EX warrants that hail will not produce holes in the external surface of Macrolux® , Macrolux® LL colorless and Macrolux® LL translucent colored, Macrolux® SL, Macrolux® IR, Macrolux® HS and Macrolux® Athermic panels, and Rooflite® LL or Rooflite® XL panels. Damage due to hail is evidenced by holes in the external wall of the sheet in an even and diffused manner. -
The determination of the damage being caused by hail may be made by a simulated test hail storm on the challenged sheet. 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.
- CO-EX, at its option, will replace the defective sheets F.O.B. Wallingford, CT or make a monetary payment to the user based upon the original CO-EX invoice amount for the defective product.
- 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.
- When CO-EX elects to compensate the user for the sheets which have been found to have failed the warranty, the amount to be reimbursed by CO-EX will be calculated on the basis of the purchase price paid by the original CO-EX customer: 100% of the price for the first 5 years from the invoice date. During the period from 5 (five) to 10 (ten) years from the invoice date, the amount of the original invoice will be reduced by one twentieth (1/20) for each six month period missing up to the expired period of (10) years.
