LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Under this warranty, First American’s total liability shall be limited to, and in no event, exceed, the original purchase price of the Product. Upon the proper notification (as outlined below) and validation of a claim, at our option, we will replace, repair or refund to you the value of the defective Products. In the event your Product is no longer available, First American shall have the right to substitute a product it considers of equal quality and price. Since color variance may occur between the originally installed Product and its replacement due to normal weathering and aging, this will not constitute a defect in either the original or the replacement Product. Any additional costs and expenses beyond these amounts will be the sole responsibility of the warranty holder. In the event of repair or replacement of material under this warranty, the repaired or replaced material will be warranted only for the remaining time under the original warranty.
