<br /> Maintenance Program
<br /> In order to continue the coverage of this Guarantee,the following Maintenance Program must be implemented and followed:
<br /> 1. Building Owner must notify JM Guarantee Services Unit(see below) immediately upon discovery of the leak and in no event later than ten
<br /> (10)days after initial discovery of the leak,time being of the essence. Failure of the Building Owner to provide timely notice to JM Guarantee
<br /> Services of any leak is a material ground for termination of the Guarantee.
<br /> 2. In response to timely notice,JM will arrange to inspect the Roofing System,and
<br /> (i) If, in JM's sole and absolute opinion, the leak(s) is/are the responsibility of JM under this Guarantee (see Limitations and
<br /> Exclusions),then JM will take prompt appropriate action to return the Roofing system to a watertight condition,or
<br /> (ii) If, in JM's sole and absolute opinion,the leak(s) is/are not the responsibility of JM under this Guarantee,then JM will advise the
<br /> Building Owner within a reasonable time of the minimum repairs that JM believes are required to,return the Roofing System to a
<br /> watertight condition. If the Building Owner, at his expense, promptly and timely makes such repairs to the Roofing System (time
<br /> being of the essence)then this Guarantee will remain in effect for the unexpired portion of its Term. Failure to make any of these
<br /> repairs in a timely and reasonable fashion will void any further obligation of JM under this Guarantee as to the damaged portion of
<br /> the Roofing System as well as any other areas of the Roofing System impacted by such failure.
<br /> 3. In the event an emergency condition exists which requires immediate repair to avoid damage to the Building, its contents or occupants,then
<br /> Building Owner may make reasonable,essential temporary repairs. JM will reimburse Building Owner for those reasonable repair expenses
<br /> only to the extent such expenses would have been the responsibility of JM under the Guarantee.
<br /> There are a number of items not covered by this Guarantee that are the sole,exclusive responsibility of the Building Owner. In order to ensure that
<br /> your new roof will continue to perform its function and to continue JM's obligations under the Guarantee,you must examine and maintain these
<br /> items on a regular basis:
<br /> • Maintain a file for your records on this Roofing System, including, but not limited to, this Guarantee, invoices, and subsequent logs of all
<br /> inspections performed and repairs that are made to the Roofing System.
<br /> • Inspect your Roofing System at least semi-annually.This is best done in the spring,after the Roofing System has been exposed to the harsh
<br /> winter conditions, and, in the Fall after a long hot summer. It is also a good idea to examine the Roofing System for damage after severe
<br /> weather conditions such as hailstorms,heavy rains,high winds,etc.
<br /> • Since these types of Roofing Systems typically have a low slope,they are easily examined. However,care must be taken to prevent falling
<br /> and other accidents. JM expressly disclaims and assumes no liability for any inspections performed on the Roofing System.
<br /> When checking the Roofing System:
<br /> • Remove any debris such as leaves,small branches,dirt,rocks,etc.that have accumulated.
<br /> • Clean gutters, down spouts, drains and the surrounding areas. Make certain they allow water to flow off the Roofing System. Positive
<br /> drainage is essential.
<br /> • Examine all metal fleshings and valleys for rust and damage that may nave been caused by wind or traffic on the Roofing System,and make
<br /> certain they are well attached and sealed. Any damaged, loose, or poorly sealed materials must be repaired by a JM Approved Roofing
<br /> Contractor only.
<br /> • Examine the areas that abut the Roofing System.Damaged masonry,poorly mounted counter flashing,loose caulking,bad mortar joints,and
<br /> any loose stone or tile coping can appear to be a membrane leak.Have these items repaired by a JM Approved Roofing Contractor if found to
<br /> be defective.
<br /> • Examine the edges of the Roofing.System.Wind damage often occurs in these areas. Materials that have been lifted by the wind need to be
<br /> corrected by a JM Approved Roofing Contractor.
<br /> • Examine any roof top equipment such as air conditioners,evaporative coolers,antennas,etc. Make certain they do not move excessively or
<br /> cause a roof problem by leaking materials onto the Roofing System.
<br /> • Check the building exterior for settlement or movement.Structural movement can cause cracks and other problems which in turn may lead to
<br /> leaks in your Roofing System.
<br /> • Examine protective coatings;any cracked,flaking,or blistered areas must be recoated.
<br /> Protecting your investment:
<br /> • Avoid unnecessary roof top traffic.
<br /> • If you allow equipment servicemen to go onto the Roofing System, advise them to be careful. Dropped tools, heavy equipment, etc. can
<br /> damage the membrane.Log all such trips to the Roofing System.
<br /> • Do not allow service personnel to make penetrations into the Roofing System; these are to be made only by a JM Approved Roofing
<br /> Contractor.
<br /> All the terms and conditions of this Guarantee shall be construed under the internal law of the state of Colorado without regard to its conflicts of law
<br /> principles. Invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions herein shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision which shall
<br /> remain in full force and effect to the extent the main intent of the document is preserved.
<br /> This form is not to be copied or reproduced in any manner.This Guarantee is valid only in the United States of America.
