Limited Warranty
Warranty Period and Exclusions: Broan-NuTone LLC (the “Company”) warrants
to the original consumer purchaser of its product (“you”) that the product
(the “Product”) will be free from material defects in the Product or its
workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase.
The limited warranty period for any replacement parts provided by the Company
and for any Products repaired or replaced under this limited warranty shall be
the remainder of the original warranty period.
This warranty does not cover speed controls, fluorescent lamp starters, tubes,
halogen and incandescent bulbs, fuses, filters, ducts, roof caps, wall caps
and other accessories for ducting that may be purchased separately and
installed with the Product. This warranty also does not cover (a) normal
maintenance and service, (b) normal wear and tear, (c) any Products or parts
that have been subject to misuse, abuse, abnormal usage, negligence, accident,
improper or insufficient maintenance, storage or repair (other than repair by
the Company), (d) damage caused by faulty installation, or installation or use
contrary to recommendations or instructions, (e) any Product that has been
moved from its original point of installation, (f) damage caused by
environmental or natural elements, (g) damage in transit, (h) natural wear of
finish, (i) Products in commercial or nonresidential use, or (j) damage caused
by fire, flood or other act of God. This warranty covers only Products sold to
original consumers in the United States by the Company or U.S. distributors
authorized by the Company.
This warranty supersedes all prior warranties and is not transferable from the
original consumer purchaser.
No Other Warranties: This Limited Warranty contains the Company’s sole
obligation and your sole remedy for defective products. The foregoing
warranties are exclusive and in lieu of any other warranties, express or
implied. THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES, AND
DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. To
the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties,
the duration of any applicable implied warranty is limited to the period
specified for the express warranty above. Some states do not allow limitations
on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply
to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the sole purpose
of identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision is held to be prohibited or invalid, such provision shall
be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the other remaining provisions
of the Limited Warranty.
Remedy: During the applicable limited warranty period, the Company will, at its option, provide replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Product or part thereof, to the extent the Company finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited warranty under normal use and service. The Company will ship the repaired or replaced Product or replacement parts to you at no charge. You are responsible for all costs for removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or other freight charges incurred in the shipment of the Product or part to the Company. If you must send the Product or part to the Company, as instructed by the Company, you must properly pack the Product or part—the Company is not responsible for damage in transit. The Company reserves the right to utilize reconditioned, refurbished, repaired or remanufactured Products or parts in the warranty repair or replacement process. Such Products and parts will be comparable in function and performance to an original Product or part and warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.
Exclusion of Damages: THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT
PARTS, OR REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT THE COMPANY’S OPTION, SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE COMPANY’S SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION. THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL,
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PRODUCT, ITS USE, OR PERFORMANCE.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights, which vary from state to state.
This warranty covers only the replacement or repair of defective Products or
parts thereof at the Company’s main facility and does not include the cost of
field service travel and living expenses.
Any assistance the Company provides to or procures for you outside the terms,
limitations or exclusions of this limited warranty will not constitute a
waiver of such terms, limitations, or exclusions, nor will such assistance
extend or revive the warranty.
The Company will not reimburse you for any expenses incurred by you in
repairing or replacing any defective Product, except for those incurred with
the Company’s prior written permission.
How to Obtain Warranty Service: To qualify for warranty service, you must
(a) notify the Company at the address or telephone number stated below within
seven (7) days of discovering the covered defect, (b) give the model number
and part identification and (c) describe the nature of any defect in the
Product or part. At the time of requesting warranty service, you must present
evidence of the original purchase date. If you cannot provide a copy of the
original written limited warranty, then the terms of the Company’s most
current written limited warranty for your particular product will control. The
most current limited written warranties for the Company’s products can be
