National Warranty manual

authorized officer. 8.3 Force majeure (delaying events). The performance of our obligations under this Warranty may be delayed by events beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, adverse weather, acts of nature, strikes, material shortages, acts of government, or third parties not within our control, and your failure to cooperate. After the delaying event ends, we will resume and continue our performance obligations. Any delay resulting from a force majeure event will result in an extension of the time for us to perform our obligations equal to the number of days the event lasted. However, any extension of time for us to perform due to a force majeure event does not extend the warranty coverage period. 8.4 No warranty extension. Investigations, repairs, replacements and other actions taken by us with respect to your home will not extend the warranty coverage period or any other limitations period within which you must bring a claim. 8.5. Transfer of warranty to subsequent owners. This Warranty automatically transfers to a subsequent owner of your home. Each subsequent owner will be bound by (1) all terms of this Warranty, including, but not limited to, those regarding arbitration; and (2) every act or failure to act by any past owner to the extent that the act or failure to act affects this Warranty or the rights and obligations of either party. You should notify any potential purchaser of this and provide this Warranty to the subsequent owner of your home. 8.6 Additional documents. The performance standards, and the State Addendum are incorporated into this Warranty by reference. The terms of this Warranty will control and govern over the terms of the performance standards, but not over the State Addendum. 8.7 Severability. If any provision of this Warranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws, that provision will be fully severable. This Warranty will then be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of it.
