Allow a reasonable time for inspection purposes if determined to be necessary.

If the windows or patio doors do not conform to this warranty and any such manufacturing defect occurs within the time period specified, according to the provisions of this warranty, then the Manufacturer agrees, at its option, to repair or replace the defective part or component of the window or patio door. Upon prepayment of any applicable prorated amount and shipping charges then due from the Original Purchaser/ Present Property Owner, the Manufacturer will provide the return necessary parts or components. The Property Owner will be responsible for return transportation charges back to the property location.

Replacement parts or components furnished by Manufacturer under this Warranty will have the standard color available at that time. A color variance may occur between the new replacement part or component in comparison to the original window due to weathering exposure and would not be indicative of defects in the part or component.

AMI reserves the right to discontinue or change any window as manufactured. If the part or component of the window originally installed is not available and AMI determines to make replacement, AMI shall have the right to substitute a compatible part or component, apportioned when pro rata basis applies over the warranted time period for usage to refund date.

The Manufacturer does not warrant installation nor defects caused by installation. This Warranty covers only the specific manufacturing defects as specified herein. This Warranty does not cover any other damages or material failure including, but not limited to, normal weathering of sash frames and mainframe, and screen and screen frame, oxidation, accidents or intentional damage, or fire, flood, windblown objects, hail, lightning, earthquake or other Acts of God, chemical pollutants, chemicals, brick wash, mildew, negligent maintenance, fading, misuse or abuse, building settlement or structural defects, or if subjected to stresses resulting from localized heat sources which cause excessive temperature differentials over the glass surfaces or edges, or any other causes or occurrences beyond the Manufacturer’s control. This Warranty does not apply if the windows are painted, varnished or coated with any other substance.

Normal weathering may cause any surface to oxidize, chalk or accumulate surface dirt or stains due to varying exposures to sunlight, weather and atmospheric conditions. The geographic location, the quality of the atmosphere and other local factors in the area, over which the Manufacturer has no control, contribute to the severity of these conditions.

Caulking may be necessary on some installations to seal the frames or trim package against water and/or air infiltration. Caulking is considered a maintenance issue and is the responsibility of the homeowner. It is not considered part of the product and is not covered under this warranty.

Condensation on windows may occur as the natural result of humidity within the house or building area and changes in interior/exterior temperatures, and does not indicate a defect in the window. This Warranty does not cover condensation nor frost or freezing from condensation on the windows.

This warranty is limited to the Manufacturer’s furnishing repaired or replacement parts or components of the window, free of charge, within the time period specified, or as applicable, upon payment in advance of any pro rata amount then due from the Original Purchaser/Present Property Owner, according to the provisions of this Warranty, on the Manufacturer receiving from the Property Owner any such claimed defective parts or components of the window, and with return transportation charges for any repaired or replacement window part or component being at Property Owner’s responsibility, as provided.

THE WARRANTY STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXTENDED BY AMI FOR THE WINDOWS, IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, AND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS WARRANTY SHALL CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF AMI AND THE PROPERTY OWNER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. AMI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY ON THE WINDOWS.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary, from state to state.

Vinyl Sashes and Mainframes
Vacuum dirt from sill and track areas before washing. Clean vinyl with a mixture of mild dish soap and water. Mild, non-abrasive soaps are usually safest for most dirt and stain removal. Always rinse completely with clean water and wipe dry.

Screens:
Remove from window, then wash on a flat, clean surface with mild soap and water and a soft brush. Rinse, wipe dry and then reinstall.
