Limitations
This warranty shall not apply following incorrect operating pro- cedures, breakage or damages caused by fault, carelessness, abuse, misuse, misapplication, improper maintenance, alteration or modification of the unit, as well as chemical or natural corro- sion, accident, fire, flood, act of God or any other casualty.
The owner/end-user of the product covered by the present war- ranty is entirely responsible for its proper installation and elec- trical wiring. MAAX neither installs nor supervises the installa- tion, nor hires a contractor for this purpose, and consequently cannot be held responsible for any default, breakage or damages caused thereby or resulting thereof, either directly or indirectly. The owner/end-user must provide access to the components of the product as described in the installation guide, so that MAAX can execute the warranty specified herein. If such access is not available, all expenses to provide said access will be the respon- sibility of the owner/end-user.
This warranty does not apply to products or equipment not installed or operated in accordance with instructions supplied by MAAX and all applicable rules, regulations and legislation pertaining to such installations.
MAAX strongly recommends that its products—for example, but without limitation, shower doors and other items—be installed by professionals with experience in bathroom products. Installation of shower doors by an inexperienced person may result in glass breakage and, consequently, cause personal injury or death.
MAAX is not liable for any costs, damages or claims resulting from the purchase of products that do not fit through openings or existing structures. MAAX is not liable for any costs, damages or claims resulting from defects that could have been discov- ered, repaired or avoided by inspection and testing prior to installation.
MAAX is not liable for personal injuries or death to any person or for any direct, special, incidental or consequential damage, loss of time, loss of profits, inconvenience, incidental expenses, labor or material charges, or any other costs resulting from the use of the product or equipment or pertaining to the application of the present warranty, or resulting from the removal or replacement of any product or element or part covered by this warranty.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED ABOVE, MAAX MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR COMPLI- ANCE WITH ANY CODE.
In any case, MAAX cannot be liable for any amount over and above the purchase price paid for the product by the owner/end-user, contractor or builder.
Commercial Limitations
In addition to the above conditions and limitations, the warran- ty period for products installed for commercial applications or used in commercial ventures is of one (1) year from the initial date of purchase by the owner/end-user, contractor or builder from an authorized dealer. MAAX is not responsible for loss of use or profit under any circumstances. If the product is used as a display, the warranty period begins when the product is placed on display.
This warranty gives the owner/end-user specific legal rights. The owner/end-user may also have other rights which vary from one state and/or province to another.
