*The TruSlate® Premium Roofing System is covered by a Lifetime Ltd. Warranty against maunfacturing defects with 50-year non-prorated coverage. The word "Lifetime" means as long as you, the original owners(s) [or the second owner(s) if coverage was properly transferred within the first 15 years] own the property where the TruSlate® Premium Roofing System is installed. The 50-year non-prorated period is applicable only to TruSlate® Premium Roofing Sytem components installed on a single family detached residence owned by individual(s). For any other type of owner or building, such as a corporation, government entity, religious entity, condominium or homeowner association, school, apartment building, office building, or multi-use structure, the non-prorated coverage period is 20 years. See TruSlate® Ultimate Pledge™ Ltd. Warranty for complete coverage and restrictions.
