This Warranty covers only the particular defects described in this Certificate, and only if they arise during normal use and service, subject to normal wear and tear. It does not cover defects/ damage attributable to causes or occurrences beyond Shield's control and unrelated to the manufacturing process, including, but not limited to, faulty or improper installation (including distortions such as waving, oilcanning, or buckling), normal weathering, oxidation, exposure to corrosive atmospheric (such as those contaminated with salt or salt spray, acid rain, harmful chemicals, or vapors), mold, mildew, unreasonable use, crazing or cracking of the paint surface due to field forming in cold temperatures, misuse, physical abuse, accidental damage, vandalism, use of incompatible accessories, fire, flood, earthquake, lightning, radiation, ice or windstorms, hail or other acts of God, wind-borne objects, building settlement, structural failures (including walls and foundations), or the use of harmful cleaning compounds and pesticides. Shield's is not responsible for any damage to your seamless aluminum gutters, which occurs during or as a result of the shaping or forming of your seamless aluminum gutters. Such damage is the sole responsibility of the dealer from whom you make the initial purchase.

Uniform fading (color change) is not covered by this Warranty, since normal weathering and aging process will cause any colored surface to fade, darken, chalk, or acquire a surface accumulation of dirt and stains. The severity of these conditions depends on air quality, the geographic location of your property, and other local conditions over which Shield's has no control. Normal weathering is defined as exposure to sunlight and extremes of weather and temperatures. Nonuniform fading and color change resulting from the use of touch-up paint or the unequal exposure of your seamless aluminum gutters or gutter accessories to the sun and elements are not covered by this Warranty.

*Note* all customers of Shield's Gutters that have purchased and had installed by one of our techs, must register there purchase within 30 days of the install date to qualify.
