Repair to the load-bearing portions of the home to restore load-bearing ability.

Repair to the load-bearing portions that make the home unsafe, unsanitary or otherwise unlivable.

Liability is limited to the amount of coverage provided under the warranty and will not exceed the original purchase price of the home.
