LIMITED WARRANTY IMPORTAND NOTICE

Ingersoll-RandCompany (I-R) warrants to the original user its Hoists and Winches (Products) to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. I-Rwill repair, without cost, any Product found to be defective, including parts and labor charges, or at its option, will replace such Products or refund the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation, in exchange for the Product. Repairs or replacements are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.

If any Product proves defective within its original one year warranty period, it should be returned to any Authorized Hoist and Winch Service Distributor, transportation prepaid with proof of purchase or warranty card.

This warranty does not apply to Products which I-Rhas determined to have been misused or abused, improperly maintained by the user, or where the malfunction or defect can be attributed to the use of non-genuine I-Rparts.

I-R makes no other warranty, and all implied warranties including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose are limited to the duration of the expressed warranty period as set forth above. I-R’s maximum liability is limited to the purchase price of the Product and in no event shall I-R be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental, or special damages of any nature rising from the sale or use of the Product, whether based on contract, tort, or otherwise.

Note: Some states do not allow limitations on incidental or consequential damages or how long an implied warranty lasts so that the above limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which may vary from state to state.

It is our policy to promote safe delivery of all orders.
