Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth herein, YKK AP America warrants its vinyl windows and doors, after proper installation and under normal use and service, to be free from manufacturing defects during the lifetime of the original purchaser while original purchaser retains ownership of the property in which the products are installed (“Limited Lifetime Warranty”). This Limited Lifetime Warranty may not be assigned or transferred and terminates upon the sale of the property.
YKK AP America’s obligation under the Limited Lifetime Warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, any window or door that is defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period.

IN NO EVENT, SHALL YKK AP BE LIABLE FOR LABOR CHARGES OR OTHER EXPENSES IN CONNECTION WITH REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION OF EITHER THE ORIGINAL OR REPLACEMENT PRODUCT AFTER THE FIRST TWO-YEAR PERIOD.
The Limited Lifetime Warranty shall only apply to individual homeowners. For installations in structures not inhabited by the owner including, but not limited to corporations, apartments, schools or any other commercial or noncommercial structures, the warranty shall be (10) ten years following the date of installation (“Limited Warranty”). YKK AP America’s obligation under the Limited Warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, any window or door that is defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable warranty period. To the extent any repairs or replacement products are provided to such entities, the Limited Warranty coverage for repaired or replaced products will extend only for the balance of the original Limited Warranty period.
YKK AP reserves the right to discontinue or modify any of its products. If YKK AP replaces a product under this warranty, it may substitute products designated by YKK AP to be of comparable quality if the originally installed product has been discontinued or modified.
