2. Payment. For so long as this maintenance plan is in effect, Customer shall pay a fee each year, payable in full on each anniversary date of this agreement. Payments made on a maintenance plan can be used as a credit towards a roof replacement with the seller (up to $1500).

3. Exclusions. The following items are excluded from coverage under this agreement:

4. Limitations due to age of roof. All asphalt shingle roofs reach an age at which repairs cannot be reasonably performed due to shingles becoming too brittle to manipulate.  Once Customer’s roof reaches the age at which repairs cannot reasonably be made, then the covered shingle repairs listed herein will not be made.  For purposes of determining this age, the following chart shall be used:

5. Secondary Coverage Status. In the event any repair covered by this agreement is also covered by a policy of insurance, the coverage provided herein shall be secondary to the insurance coverage.  In the event, Seller believes a damage is likely to be covered under a policy of insurance, Customer agrees to submit a claim to the insurance company for the damage, and Seller shall not charge in excess of the amount approved by insurance. Customer hereby authorizes communication between Seller and Insurer in furtherance of a claim.

6. Warranties. All manufacturers’ warranties on replacement parts shall ensure to the benefit of Customer, and Seller will reasonably assist with supporting a covered warranty claim. All implied warranties are hereby disclaimed, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.  All manufacturers’ warranties and the terms of such, if existing, shall be set out in writing by separate document.

7. Late Payment. In the event Customer fails to make payment when due, the coverage provided by this agreement shall immediately lapse and shall not be reinstated unless and until all due sums are tendered and accepted by Seller.  Seller, at its option, may accept payment and reinstate coverage immediately, may reject subsequent payment and refuse to reinstate coverage, or may accept payment and reinstate coverage pending inspection of the subject roof.  If coverage is not reinstated following inspection, then any sums not earned will be returned to Customer.

8. Term. This agreement shall be for a one-year term automatically renewing from year to year unless Seller or Customer provides notice of termination to the other party at least sixty days prior to the renewal date.

9. Limitation of Damages. There shall be no consequential damages as a result of a breach of this agreement. Customer’s damages shall be limited to the fee tendered for this coverage.  Seller’s damages shall be limited to the amount of any unpaid fee.
