Rainier Awning Systems
Limited Warranty
1. Warranty. Rainier Industries Ltd. (Rainier), a Washington corporation warrants, to the first Purchaser only, the Rainier retractable awning to be free from defective materials and workmanship, when properly maintained and under normal use and service, for a period of ten years following date of original purchase. Should the awning prove defective within this warranty period, Rainier will repair or replace the defect, at Rainier’s option.
- Fabrics: Rainier does not warrant the fabrics used for such awnings. Rather, all fabrics are warranted by the manufacturer and not directly by Rainier. Rainier will supply copies of such warranties upon request. Notwithstanding that Rainier does not directly warrant the fabric, Rainier will replace any such fabric itself during the first year after original purchase. The Sunbrella Awning Warranty covers Sunbrella fabrics for ten years.
- Finish: Paint finish is warranted for five years to be free of defects under normal usage for five years from date of original purchase.
- Motors: Somfy offers a five year warranty on all motors and controls. Specifically, Somfy warrants its motors and controls to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal and proper use for a period of five years commencing with the date stamped on each product. If the Somfy product fails within this five year period, Rainier will coordinate the repair or replacement of your Somfy motor.
2. Purchaser’s Duties. The Purchaser shall give written notice to Rainier, of any alleged failure of the awning system within this limited warranty period, no later then 15 days after the Purchaser learns of such failure.
