Warranty Limitations

Warranty repair liability shall in no case exceed a value greater than the original invoice amount, nor order warranty repair service be extended to anyone other than the original purchaser of the film. This warranty does not apply to glass breakage or seal failure conditions or damage due to improper care. Installing warranty replacement film will not renew or extend the original warranty coverage time periods. With the exception of any warranties implied by state law as hereby limited, this warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, agreements and similar obligations of Flexfilm, with respect to the repair and/or replacement of the film. Obtaining replacement window film as provided under this warranty is the exclusive remedy under this warranty. In no event shall Flexfilm be liable in either tort or contract for any loss or damages whether direct, special, consequential or incidental arising out of the use of, or inability to use Flexfilm products. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, any implied warranties, including the implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, on these products is expressly limited in duration to the duration of this warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the installation company or company is authorized to change, modify or extend the terms of this warranty or to create or assume for Flexfilm any other obligation of liability. This warranty gives you specific legal rights which may vary from state to state. Films designed for exterior applications must be edge sealed along with any seams using Dow Corning 795.794,790. Warranty will not be honored unless the film has been properly sealed.

DOES NOT COVER:

• Installation defects
• Automotive film on flat glass
• Glass or frame defects
• Triple pane glass or double pane glass with suspended films
• Application of two or more films to the same piece of glass
• Windows with pre-existing seal failure
• Wired, texture or patterned glass
• Partial film application
• Warranty is void in the event of fraud or misrepresentation by film installer or owner

Film Care

Avoid cleaning your new window film for at least 30 days. Visual changes after installation are a normal part of the adhesive bonding process. When the haziness/milky look and water pockets have disappeared, the film is considered dry or “cured” and is safe to clean. Depending on the product and temperature, it may take up to 60 days for the film to fully cure. You may clean the inside surface with any normal household strength glass cleaner and a soft lint-free cloth.

DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners, industrial strength glass cleaners or other window cleaning tools that may scratch the window film. For best results, avoid cleaning in direct sunlight.

Curing Period

After installation, you may notice a hazy/milky appearance when you look through the film. Water pockets may also develop as the film cures. This is to be expected and is caused by the barrier nature of the film. Complete dry-out should occur within 30-60 days depending on the amount of remaining installation solution, sunlight, humidity and heat directed upon the window.

DO NOT clean the film for at least 30 days or until it has completely dried out or cured.

Glass Breakage Warranty

Submitting the attached Glass Breakage Warranty Application form does not constitute coverage. It is only an application for coverage. Should your application be accepted by Flexfilm, you will receive a Limited Extended Warranty Certificate validating your Glass Breakage and Seal Failure coverage. This application will be accepted only if the installation meets all guidelines outlined here and on the certificate you receive. Please read these documents carefully.

Limitations and Restrictions

For Commercial installations, the deductible is $100.00 USD per window. Residential deductible is $25.00 USD per window. There is a limitation in coverage of three hundred fifty dollars ($350.00 USD) per window. If glass is replaced prior to notifying Flexfilm of Glass Breakage or Seal Failure, warranty is voided.

Note: Any building with 2,000 sq. ft. or more of window film to be installed will also require pre-approval, regardless of film or glass type to be eligible for glass breakage or seal failure warranty coverage. Rental units are considered commercial applications.

Applying for your limited extended warranty coverage

APPLYING FOR YOUR LIMITED EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE The attached Glass Breakage Warranty Application form must be submitted to Flexfilm within 60 days of installation of issuance of a Limited Extended Warranty Certificate to the consumer. Exemptions and limitations are noted on the reverse side and require purchaser acknowledgement.

Glass Breakage - 3 Years

Our solar control window films are warranted to the original purchaser against thermal stress or expansion glass breakage, caused as a direct result of properly installed window film on an approved glass surface (See Film to Glass Application Chart on reverse side). This glass breakage warranty is extended to the original purchaser for a period of three years from the date of installation and is non-transferable.

Seal Failure - Up to 3 Years

Our solar control window films are warranted to the original purchaser against Insulated Glass (IG) seal failure, caused as a direct result of properly installed window film on an approved glass surface (see Film to Glass Application Chart). This warranty only applied to windows that are still covered by the original window manufacturer’s seal failure warranty. It is intended to replace, when necessary, the warranty of the IG unit seal manufacturer, not to exceed three years, or the original IG unit warranty (Limited to terms and conditions of the existing/activate manufacturer’s seal failure warranty on the windows at the location indicated to the named purchaser of our window film.) The extended warranty applies only to glass or IG systems on which Flexfilm has been installed by an installation company in accordance with factory recommended installation instructions.

To qualify for seal failure coverage, a copy of the IG unit manufacturer’s seal failure warranty must be submitted with the application form.

To qualify for warranty reimbursement, a letter of “warranty coverage denial” from the window manufacturer must be submitted along with your warranty claim.

Some states do not allow limitations of incidental or consequential damages, in which case the above may not apply.

Flexfilm retains the privilege of product application inspection prior to issue of coverage. Retain this part of the form for your records. Flexfilm will return to you a Limited Extended Warranty Certificate with the described coverage within 25 working days after receipt of your application.
