             This Limited Warranty commences on the date of settlement, or the date of Home Owner's

      3.  REQUEST FOR WARRANTY SERVICE

            The Home Owner with a Limited Warranty complaint must submit a clear and specific WRITTEN

            request to the Builder at the address shown on this Limited Warranty.  No Limited Warranty

            emergency.

 

 

      4.   REMEDY

            The Builder will, within a reasonable time, examine an alleged defect to determine if it is covered

             by this Limited Warranty.

 

             A defect covered by this warranty will be repaired, replaced, or replaced with item of like kind, at

             Builder's expense.

 

             Builder reserves the right to charge the owner a reasonable sum per service call for any request

             not covered under this Limited Warranty.

      6.   RIGHT OF ACCESS

             Home Owner must provide the Builder access to property during normal weekday business hours
