c) WARRANTY HOLDER CLASSIFICATIONS
RESIDENTIAL WARRANTY HOLDERS: If the Product is installed in (i) a new residential dwelling and the first occupant owns the dwelling or (ii) an existing
owner-occupied residential dwelling, and in each case, at the time of installation such owner is also responsible for Product replacement, then that owner is a
Residential Warranty Holder. For example, assume the Product is installed in a condominium unit (a “dwelling”) in a multi-resident building. If the first occupant of
the condominium unit is the first owner of that unit and is also responsible for Product replacement, then that owner is a Residential Warranty Holder; however, if
the owner is not the first occupant or if someone else other than the owner (for example, the condominium association) is responsible for Product replacement,
then the owner is not a Residential Warranty Holder.
RESIDENTIAL WARRANTY HOLDERS: If the Product is installed in (i) a new residential dwelling and the first occupant owns the dwelling or (ii) an existing
owner-occupied residential dwelling, and in each case, at the time of installation such owner is also responsible for Product replacement, then that owner is a
Residential Warranty Holder. For example, assume the Product is installed in a condominium unit (a “dwelling”) in a multi-resident building. If the first occupant of
the condominium unit is the first owner of that unit and is also responsible for Product replacement, then that owner is a Residential Warranty Holder; however, if
the owner is not the first occupant or if someone else other than the owner (for example, the condominium association) is responsible for Product replacement,
then the owner is not a Residential Warranty Holder.
COMMERCIAL/MULTI-RESIDENT WARRANTY HOLDERS: If the Product is installed under conditions in which no one qualifies as a Residential Warranty Holder
as described above, then the warranty holder is the owner of the dwelling or building in which the Product has been installed at the time of installation (and its
builder and contractor). That owner is classified as a Commercial/Multi-Resident Warranty Holder. For example, this includes owners of commercial or investment
buildings, or multi-resident premises in which the occupant is not responsible for Product replacement whether or not the occupant owns the residential dwelling
unit in the premises (including by example, certain condominiums, town homes, duplexes, apartments, cooperatives).
