<br />Transferability
<br />This Limited Warranty is transferable, but only by the original property owner/consumer to the first
<br />subsequent property owner. After the Limited Warranty has been transferred once, it is no longer
<br />transferable. A bank foreclosure or a change of ownership on a deed is deemed a transfer under this
<br />Limited Warranty.
<br />Transfers During the SureStart™ Period
<br />If this Limited Warranty is transferred during the product’s SureStart period, the warranty for the
<br />new owner is the same as it would have been for the original owner, except for certain products
<br />with Lifetime warranty periods where the duration of the transferred warranty will be 50 years or
<br />40 years as specified in Table 1, measured from the beginning of the SureStart period (i.e. the date
<br />of installation), and the remaining period of SureStart protection will be available to the subsequent
<br />property owner.
<br />Transfers After the SureStart Period
<br />If this Limited Warranty is transferred by the original property owner/consumer after the SureStart
<br />period, the warranty following the transfer will be limited to two (2) years from the date of
<br />the transfer. The warranty obligation will be calculated as explained in the section titled “Beyond
<br />SureStart Protection.”
