"warranty does not cover owner neglect, or mortality due to natural causes", ie deer, ice, 9 months of heavy snow, etc. Warranty cost is loss rate plus, and enough labor to make the trip. Maybe 20% or 30% is not out line. Per year.
Since it is your friend, your response might be best that no warranty is given, but you will handle any replacement work at a agreed upon T & M rate. That will minimize his cost and your risk.

You must not warranty that which you do not control, unless you are compensated for the risk.
