Polyguard Covers, Inc. (“Polyguard”) warrants Polyguard Window Well Covers (“Covers”) to the original purchaser for lifetime against breakage due to defects in materials or workmanship, and to the original purchaser against discoloring due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of ten (10) years from the date of purchase for Covers with a clear finish, and five (5) years from the date of purchase for Covers with a matte finish, provided in each case that the Covers are used for their intended purposes only, and are maintained by the purchaser in accordance with the instructions provided with each Cover.

Polyguard Covers are intended to keep the elements, and the accumulation of leaves and other debris out of a window well, and to reduce the risk of injury from an accidental fall into an open window well. Although the Covers are not designed to be structural, and are not intended to be walked, stood or sat upon, or to support people, pets, furniture or other household items, the Covers are warranted by Polyguard to support up to 350 lbs., of concentrated deadweight (but not a moving weight applied with force.).

The Covers, when sold with the optional security kit, are designed to make unauthorized entry more difficult, but are not designed, nor are they warranted, to be burglar-proof. The purchaser is advised to use other home security devices, such as window locks, to provide desired security.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this warranty shall not apply to a Cover or any part thereof which has been subjected to accident, negligence, alteration, abuse, or misuse. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the application of weight or force to a Cover in excess of 350 lbs., shall be deemed to be misuse per se. Polyguard’s obligation under this Warranty shall be limited to the repair or replacement of any Cover which may be found to be defective under normal intended home use within the applicable warranty period as stated above. This warranty is in expressly in lieu of any other warranties expressed or implied, including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for use and of all other obligations and liabilities on the part of Polyguard. Polyguard neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it, any other liability in connection with the sale of the Covers. Polyguard makes no warranty whatsoever in respect to accessories or parts not manufactured by Polyguard. All such parts which are not manufactured by Polyguard carry only the warranty of the manufacturer thereof, and the purchaser should contact the manufacturer with respect to a defective part not warranted by Polyguard. The term “Covers” as used in this warranty shall be deemed to include the clips, security kits and escape ladders sold by Polyguard. The terms “purchaser” and “original purchaser” as used in this warranty shall be deemed to mean the person or persons to whom the Covers are originally sold. This warranty shall apply if and only if the Covers have been properly installed, and maintained by the purchaser, and if a defective Cover is returned by the purchaser with proof of purchase to Polyguard for appropriate repair or replacement.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Check cover(s) regularly to see that it has not shifted or moved from its properly installed position. Clean using only a non-abrasive cloth with water or common cleaning solution such as: 409 or Windex. Polyguard window well covers should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Inspection should include checking to see that the cover is still in its properly installed position and adjusted if necessary. As well as, inspecting the cover to see if any parts are broken or missing. Any broken or missing parts should be repaired or replaced immediately. Covers should be kept clean to eliminate the build up of hard water spots. Hard water deposits can cause discoloration that is not covered under the warranty. Buildup of hard water deposits would suggest that the cover was not cleaned and maintained and therefore voids any and all warranties.
