LIMITED COMMERCIAL WATER HEATER WARRANTY
WHAT DOES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVER?
This limited warranty covers both the tank and component parts for leakage or other malfunction caused by defects in materials and/or workmanship. It extends to the first buyer and to any subsequent owner(s) as long as the water heater remains installed at its original place of installation.
WHAT DOES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY NOT COVER?† 1. This limited warranty does not cover leakage or other
malfunction caused by:
a) Defective installation, and specifically, any installation which is made:
i) in violation of applicable state or local plumbing, housing or building codes, or
ii) without a certified American Gas Association, ASME, or comparable combination temperature and pressure relief valve, or
iii) contrary to the written instructions furnished with the unit.
b) Adverse local conditions, and specifically, sediment or lime precipitate in the tank or corrosive elements in the atmosphere.
c) Misuse, and specifically, operations, and maintenance contrary to the written instructions furnished with the unit, removal of anode(s), disconnection, alteration or addition of nonapproved components or apparatus, operation with fuels or at settings other than those set forth on the rating plate, or accidental or other exterior damage.
2. This warranty also does not cover:
a) Production of noise, taste, odors, discoloration or rusty water.
b) Incidental property damage, loss of use, inconvenience or other incidental or consequential costs.
c) Costs associated with the replacement and/or repair of the unit, including:
i) any freight, shipping or delivery charges
ii) any removal, installation or
iv) charges to return the defective water heater and/or component part to the manufacturer.
WHAT IS THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE?
This limited warranty runs from date of installation (or without proof of installation, from three [3] months after the date of manufacture) for one (1) year on Parts, PLUS four (4) additional years on the tank only.
WHAT IS THE DURATION OF THE IMPLIED WARRANTY? ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY IMPOSED ON THE SALE OF THE WATER HEATER UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF SALE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF ORIGINAL INSTALLATION.
HOW DOES STATE LAW RELATE TO THE WARRANTY? Some states do not allow:
1. Limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts.
2. Limitations on incidental or consequential damages. So the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
WHAT WILL WE DO TO CORRECT PROBLEMS? If a defect occurs within the warranty period, we will:
1. Provide a replacement water heater of our manufacture, (or at our option) repair any unit which develops a leak in the tank within the tank warranty period. If government regulations require the replacement water heater to have features not found in the defective water heater, you will be required to pay the difference in price represented by those government required features.
2. Provide a replacement part (or at our option repair) any part which fails to function within the parts warranty period. To obtain a replacement, you must forward the defective part to us. If government regulations require the replacement part to have features not found in the defective part, you will be required to pay the difference in price represented by those government required features.
We do reserve the right to verify any claims of defect by inspection.
WHAT WILL WE NOT DO?
We will not:
1. Repair or replace any water heater, or part, subject to conditions outlined in “What Does This Limited Warranty Not Cover?”
2. Reimburse any costs associated with repair and/or replacement.
3. Replace and/or repair any water heater without complete model/serial number.
