BP Organic Shingles Settlement

Settlement Benefits

You will only be eligible for settlement benefits if you meet the claims eligibility criteria. Assuming you are eligible for compensation, the amount of the compensation payable to you will depend on the following factors:

In reviewing the settlement options, it is useful to keep the following in mind:

The number of squares on which settlement benefits will be calculated will depend on the size of the roof slope and the extent of damaged BP Organic Shingles on the roof slope. If the damaged BP Organic Shingles make up less than 5% of the roof slope, settlement benefits will be calculated based on the number of damaged BP Organic Shingles. If the damaged BP Organic Shingles make up more than 5% of the roof slope, settlement benefits will be calculated based on the number of squares on the entire roof slope.

Under the cash settlement option, during the non-proration period, eligible Class Members in Canada will receive Cdn $75/square as compensation for the costs of removing and replacing damaged BP Organic Shingles and eligible Class Members in the United States will receive US $75/square as compensation for the costs of removing and replacing damaged BP Organic Shingles. After the non-proration period, the Cdn $75/square (or US $75/square, as appropriate), will be prorated or discounted to account for the use the eligible Class Members have already received from their BP Organic Shingles.

Under the repair settlement option, eligible Class Members will be compensated for the costs of repairing and replacing the damaged BP Organic Shingles, in accordance with the terms of the applicable warranty. During the non-proration period, the Defendant will reimburse the eligible Class Member for the full costs of repairs or replacement in accordance with the terms of the applicable warranty. After the non-proration period, the Defendant will reimburse the eligible Class Member for the costs of repairs or replacement in accordance with the terms of the applicable warranty on a prorated basis, to account for the use the eligible Class Members have already received from their BP Organic Shingles. In completing the repairs or replacement, eligible Class Members can select the roofer of their choice, but must use shingles manufactured by the Defendant.

In accordance with the terms of the Applicable Warranty, not withstanding the foregoing, for BP Organic Shingles installed on or after Januaty 1, 2006, such estimate shall be no greater than the original costs of installing the damaged BP Organic Shingles, in accordance with with section 6.4(a)(i)(3) of the Settlement.
