One-Lite IG windows exceeding 35 square feet of continuous insulated glass surface shall have NO WARRANTY. Warranty is further withheld from any unit subjected to pressure washing, corrosive or harsh chemicals/cleaning compounds, or the introduction glass films or tinting by others (aftermarket) than RC during the original manufacturing process. Insulated glass units exposed to atmospheric pressure in excess of 5,000 feet above sea level are not covered by this warranty. Minor scratches or imperfections in glass that do not impair structural integrity or significantly obscure vision or viewing capabilities are not considered manufacturing defects and are not covered by this warranty.

No darker colors most specifically bronze/black/red/green/anodized shall be covered under RC Warranty due to their inherent and known tendencies to absorb heat. All products drawings not supplied by RC are not guaranteed or implied to check for accuracy by RC prior to production. It is up to the Purchaser to be sure to check all measurements and specifications for accuracy prior to submittal and subsequent manufacture. Since IG units with GBG Grills are not manufactured by RC, all warranties regarding fogging, seal failure, discoloration, or other defects are left to the discretion of the supplying glass company to determine warranty validity and all warranties are simply passed through by RC to the customer. All guidelines given to RC by IG suppliers must be followed in an order acceptable to the manufacturer of the IG units in order to be enforceable, and any replacement glass and/or units may be at FULL CHARGE to the customer pending shipment of failed piece(s) to supplier and/or RC for further inspection.
