WARRANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS – HOW TO GET WARRANTY SERVICES

HOW DO YOU GET SERVICE?

In no event shall repair or replacement for a defect be covered under this Warranty unless the repair or replacement occurs at Warrantor’s facilities, Warrantor’s dealer or pursuant to specific written authorization from Warrantor itself. You should call, or contact by email, the Warrantor to find out who your nearest authorized repair shop or dealer is. Upon discovery of any defect covered by this Warranty, you must notify Warrantor in writing or by acknowledge email or the authorized dealer from whom you purchased the Product. You must always notify the Warrantor in writing as well even if you contact the dealer from whom you purchased the Product, which written notification to Warrantor must be within Twenty (20) days of the date of when the warranted claim first arises, regardless of the discovery date by the original retail consumer purchaser. Following notification, the Product should be taken to the authorized dealer from whom you purchased it for inspection or another authorized dealer, if authorized by Warrantor, or authorized repair shop as directed by Warrantor. Either that dealer or repair shop or Warrantor will undertake appropriate corrective repairs in instances where the defect is covered by this Warranty. However, no work may be performed to the Product without the prior written authorization of the Warrantor. Warrantor will remedy defects in materials and workmanship covered under this Limited Warranty under normal use and service caused by Warrantor for the Product ONLY.

All costs incurred in transporting this Product for warranty service shall be borne by purchaser unless otherwise approved in advance by Warrantor, in writing. All Warranty claims must be asserted, in writing, to Warrantor within Twenty (20) days of when the defect was discovered or should have been discovered by a reasonable person exercising reasonable care but prior to the expiration of the warranty period; otherwise, Warrantor will not have any obligation to warrant or remedy the same.

The purchaser must perform reasonable and necessary maintenance upon the Product and use the Product in accordance with the manufacturer of the Product’s and Warrantor’s directions and recommendations.

WHAT EVENTS DISCHARGE WARRANTOR FROM THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS WARRANTY?

The original retail consumer purchaser of the Product and any person to whom the Product is transferred or given or conveyed, and any person who is an intended or unintended user or beneficiary of this Product, shall not be entitled to recover from Warrantor any consequential, punitive or incidental damages resulting from any defect in the Product, or loss of use, time or revenues.

TO ACTIVATE THE LIMITED WARRANTY, YOU MUST RETURN THE ATTACHED NOTICE TO WARRANTOR WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE OF PURCHASE; OTHERWISE, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE. NO PERSON HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ENLARGE, AMEND, OR MODIFY THIS WARRANTY.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

DESIGN CHANGES

Warrantor reserves the right to change the design of its Product from time to time without notice and without obligation to make corresponding changes in its products previously manufactured.

ATTORNEYS FEES

Any warranty claim asserted or brought in violation of this Limited Warranty, or any claim brought against WARRANTOR, directly or indirectly, under which the Purchaser or any other person or entity seeks to broaden the terms of the Limited Warranty or asserts a right in addition to, or inconsistent with, the terms of this Limited Warranty or under which the Purchaser or any other person fails to successfully prevail on any issue or matter of any type or nature, shall entitle Warrantor to recover its costs, damages, and reasonable attorney’s fees in connection with the same. YOU MUST REGISTER THIS WARRANTY, OR NO WARRANTY WILL BE PROVIDED OF ANY TYPE OR NATURE.

The above registration may be used and mailed or the online registration form may be filled out and submitted. We encourage you to keep a copy of this document and to scan a copy of the filled in registration above for your records.

WHAT TO DO IF A SEPARATELY MANUFACTURED PART IS DEFECTIVE?

Our warranty does not cover defects in separately manufactured products which are not produced or manufactured by Warrantor. These products may be warranted by their individual manufacturers. To the extent that such products installed in your Product are covered by warranties from those manufacturers, the written warranties by the suppliers of those products may be provided with each new Product for the convenience and clarification of the original retail consumer purchaser. If service or parts are required for these products, refer to any furnished list of factory or dealer authorized service centers. If the list is not available for the particular product, write or call the manufacturer concerned to obtain the location of the nearest authorized service center. If you have trouble locating the manufacturer supplying these warranties, your dealer will be glad to assist you. However, we have no responsibility or control over the outcome of warranty claims against these manufacturers.

HOW DOES STATE LAW RELATE TO THIS WARRANTY?

This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. By submitting the Notice to Warrantor, or by asserting a claim under this Limited Warranty, Purchaser is agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty.
