BEFORE STARTING
Our products are carefully inspected and packaged in our warehouse for shipping. Only remove the protective film at the very end of the installation to ensure maximum protection. (Except where bathtub surface will be in permanent contact with another suface (I.E., Wall / faucet, etc)). It is very important that you carefully inspect the product before installation. If a product is defective, please contact the compagny before installation. The installer will be held responsible for any breakage or damages following the use of a defective product. To protect the unit during installation, place a cardboard in the bottom of the bathtub. Verify that the bathroom floor is leveled and strong enough to support a minimum weight of 1500 Ibs, reinforce the existing flooring if needed. It is IMPORTANT to verify the drain location (it can be placed on the left, middle or right) before drilling a hole in the floor. It is important to provide an access near the plumbing, pump and/or control boxes allowing to easily disassemble and/or repair these components. The whirpool/therapeutic systems must be connected before the final installation. (see the installation and user’s guide for whirpool/therapeutic system).

LIMITED WARRANTY
By choosing a BATO product, a leader in the plumbing industry distributing its
products across North America, you are sure to make the right choice. On top
of the quality materials that are used to make their products, BATO’s advanced
manufacturing processes also benefit its products’ quality and longevity. To
attest to this, they decided to offer their customers a beneficial warranty.
We certify that our products will meet your needs with their style, but also
with their manufacturing quality. To make sure that they are reliable and
safe, each product was carefully inspected, tested and approved during the
quality control process that is in place.
To whom does this warranty apply?
BATO offers a 10-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, exclusive to
the first buyer as long as he/she resides in the same property. This warranty
applies to all BATO bathtubs. The warranty is intended for residential and/or
domestic use.
Care instructions
Clean the product with water and a mild detergent. Abrasive or corrosive
cleaners, steel wool, acetone, dry cleaning products or ammonia compounds must
never be used to clean the product. If a bath mat is used, it must be removed
right after each use. We recommend the use of cleaning products that are made
for acrylic specifically.
What is covered by the warranty?
From the date of purchase.
Should there be any manufacturing defects that are not covered by the
warranty, the product will need to be inspected prior to following through
with the claim. Without that verification, the brand will assume no charge
and/or responsibility.
What are the exclusions?
This warranty is applicable on all BATO products purchased on or after
December 1st, 2021.
The warranty doesn’t apply if the product is damaged as a result of misuse,
overuse or non-residential use, neglect, lack of maintenance, or the use of
corrosive or abrasive products, regardless of the person who did those
damages. The warranty does not cover shipping and labour costs. The warranty
does not apply to the normal tear and wear of the goods.
The warranty doesn’t cover the damages caused by the acts of God or breakage resulting from a shock or mishandling, regardless of the part played by the buyer or the installer. It also excludes the damages caused by an improper installation.
BATO doesn’t cover damages caused by a water leak, even if they result directly or indirectly from a product defect, except where the applicable legislation does not allow any exclusion or limitation following indirect or consequential damages.
It is fair to say that if the product has a manufacturing defect, it will show as soon as it is installed or shortly after. However, a leak caused by an improper installation could happen a long time after. Therefore, it is strongly advised to have it done by a professional.
All warranty claims must include the invoice copy.
Should a part or product component be defective or the finish damaged
following a normal domestic and residential use, BATO commits to replacing the
defective part(s) to the first buyer only. BATO could also, in its sole
discretion, commit to offer a full replacement. No indemnity shall be claimed
for loss of enjoyment of life, loss of income or losses caused by water.
