I would print that out and file it away for the day I need a new roof.
……and be sure to inspect the packaging for the shingles, inspect the nails, count the number of times that nailer hits the roof for each shingle, etc. Just try to insure whatever “contract” you sign (better yet get a spec sheet for them to sign) specifies the product and install method. Seems like most tradesmen like to leave a lot of wiggle room however. .
