LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY
This warranty is available only to U.S. consumers who purchase products directly from Cuisinart or an authorized Cuisinart® reseller. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Movie Theater-Style Popcorn Maker that was purchased at retail for personal, family, or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners or consumers who purchase from unauthorized Cuisinart resellers. We warrant that your Cuisinart® Movie TheaterStyle Popcorn Maker will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase. We recommend that you visit our website, https://cuisinart.registria.com, for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration.
However, product registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents
have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it
was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of
the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference,
either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair
facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount
directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If neither
of the above two options results in the appropriate relief to the consumer,
the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility, if
service or repair can be economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty. California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726- 0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.

This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment, or other than ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so

vary from state to state.

to call our Consumer Service Center at
