General Contractor'S Roofing Guarantee (Page 2 of 2) in pdf

ABC Form C-9

August 2001

A. Specifically excluded from this Guarantee are damages to the work, other parts of the

building and building contents caused by: (1) lightning, windstorm, hailstorm and other

unusual phenomena of the elements; and (2) fire. When the work has been damaged by

any of the foregoing causes, the Guarantee shall be null and void until such damage has

been repaired by the General Contractor, and until the cost and expense thereof has been

paid by the Owner or by the responsible party so designated.

B. During the Guarantee Period, if the Owner allows alteration of the work by anyone other

than the General Contractor, including cutting, patching and maintenance in connection

with penetrations, and positioning of anything on the roof, this Guarantee shall become

null and void upon the date of said alterations. If the owner engages the General

Contractor to perform said alterations, the Guarantee shall not become null and void,

unless the General Contractor, prior to proceeding with the said work, shall have notified

the Owner in writing, showing reasonable cause for claim that said alterations would

likely damage or deteriorate the work, thereby reasonably justifying a termination of this

Guarantee.

C. Future building additions will not void this guarantee, except for that portion of the future

addition that might affect the work under this contract at the point of connection of the

roof areas, and any damage caused by such addition. If this contract is for roofing of an

addition to an existing building, then this guarantee covers the work involved at the point

of connection with the existing roof.

D. During the Guarantee period, if the original use of the roof is changed and it becomes

used for, but was not originally specified for, a promenade, work deck, spray cooled

surface, flooded basin, or other use of service more severe than originally specified, this

Guarantee shall become null and void upon the date of said change.

E. The Owner shall promptly notify the General Contractor of observed, known or

suspected leaks, defects or deterioration, and shall afford reasonable opportunity for the

General Contractor to inspect the work, and to examine the evidence of such leaks,

defects or deterioration.

IN WITNESS THEREOF, this instrument has been duly executed this ___________ day of

__________________, 20 _____.
