Coverage Activation
To qualify for long-term protection, eligible projects must be properly activated, maintained, and documented under The Panda Pledge™ requirements.
Opt-In at Signing
15-year asphalt coverage requires the client to elect The Panda Pledge™ at the time of signing.
Important: Coverage eligibility depends on project type, approved load limits, proper use, completed maintenance, and the terms applicable to each project tier.
Smart Maintenance Ecosystem
The Panda Pledge™ stays active through a documented maintenance system designed to protect pavement performance, identify early issues, and preserve long-term coverage.
Sealcoating
Performed by We Love Paving every 3–4 years, with the first-season sealcoat required within 6 months for qualifying full-depth asphalt installations.
Inspections
Each maintenance cycle includes a pavement inspection to help detect early wear, base movement, or load-related stress before it becomes a larger issue.
Proper Use
Coverage depends on operating within the approved load limits for each project tier and avoiding repeated concentrated stress in high-impact areas.
Record Keeping
We Love Paving maintains digital service history, photos, inspection notes, and maintenance records to support coverage eligibility and future claims.
Important: Maintenance performed outside the approved system may affect coverage unless properly documented and verified according to The Panda Pledge™ terms.
What’s Covered, What Isn’t
The Panda Pledge™ protects qualifying workmanship and structural performance issues while clearly separating covered defects from normal pavement behavior, environmental damage, or improper use.
Coverage is reviewed based on your project tier, approved load capacity, maintenance history, proper use, and inspection findings.
01. Potholes and base failure on qualifying asphalt installations.
02. Significant settlement, displacement, or heaving on qualifying concrete installations.
03. Structural failures not caused by subgrade conditions outside the original scope of work.
04. Workmanship defects in We Love Paving-installed surfaces.
01. Hairline cracks, minor surface fissures, shrinkage cracks, or thermal cracks.
02. Reflective cracking from pre-existing surfaces beneath an overlay.
03. Normal sealcoat fading, oxidation, tire scuffing, or surface wear.
04. Damage from chemical spills, oil leaks, fire, natural disasters, overload, or unauthorized modifications.
What Voids Any Warranty
The Panda Pledge™ depends on proper use, approved maintenance, and compliance with the project’s engineered limits. Certain actions or conditions may void coverage in affected areas or across the project.
Exceeding Load Limits
Operating vehicles or equipment above the approved weight capacity for your project tier may void coverage in affected areas.
Concentrated Heavy Use
Repeated stopping, turning, idling, or heavy loading in concentrated zones, such as dumpster pads, loading docks, fire lanes, or refuse truck areas.
Unauthorized Modifications
Repairs, alterations, trenching, patching, or modifications performed by parties other than We Love Paving or an approved contractor.
Missed Maintenance Cycles
Failure to complete required sealcoating, inspections, or documented maintenance cycles within the required timeframe.
Warranty eligibility is reviewed based on project records, maintenance history, usage conditions, inspection findings, and the terms applicable to each coverage tier.
