6.7. Contractor recommends Snow Retention Systems to be installed in accordance with Engineered Specifications by the Supplier. In NO event shall Contractor be held liable for failed or faulty Snow Retention failure due to installation based on NON-Engineered Specifications.
6.8. Metal variation: Due to our product being comprised of natural materials, physical samples need to be viewed to properly evaluate color tones and grain or pattern. Natural variations in color, pattern, distribution of pattern, and pattern size are inherent and further enhance the overall natural beauty of our product. These naturally occurring variations do not affect the performance or qualify for product rejection or replacement. Oil canning is inherent to roll-formed products and shall not be cause for rejection of materials. To help reduce oil canning, use 24 gauge. Also, use Striation, Stiffener Ribs, or Embossing. Flat surfaces will display slight waviness, commonly referred to as (Oil Canning). This phenomenon is caused by steel mill production tolerances and
will not be accepted as a cause for field rejection. While, at times, foam backing is installed to the back of panels, there is still a possibility that panels can show signs of oil canning. Contractor will not be held liable for oil canning for any reason, including settling of build or expansion & contraction due to weather.
