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
of acrylic specifically.
What is covered by the warranty?
- From the date of purchase.
Should any manufacturing defects are not covered by the warranty, the product will need to be inspected before 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 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.
