Form No. EBOOSTERBWM-1009
23
WHAT DOES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVER?
This limited warranty covers both the tank and component parts
for leakage or other malfunction caused by defects in materials
and/or workmanship. It extends to the first buyer and to any
subsequent owner(s) as long as the water heater remains
installed at its original place of installation.
WHAT DOES THIS LIMITED WARRANTY NOT COVER?†
1. This limited warranty does not cover leakage or other
malfunction caused by:
a) Defective installation, and specifically, any installation
which is made:
i) in violation of applicable state or local plumbing,
housing or building codes, or
ii) without a certified American Gas Association, ASME,
or comparable combination temperature and pressure
relief valve, or
iii) contrary to the written instructions furnished with the
unit.
b) Adverse local conditions, and specifically, sediment or
lime precipitate in the tank or corrosive elements in the
atmosphere.
c) Misuse, and specifically, operations, and maintenance
contrary to the written instructions furnished with the
unit, removal of anode(s), disconnection, alteration or
addition of nonapproved components or apparatus,
operation with fuels or at settings other than those set
forth on the rating plate, or accidental or other exterior
damage.
2. This warranty also does not cover:
a) Production of noise, taste, odors, discoloration or rusty
water.
b) Incidental property damage, loss of use, inconvenience
or other incidental or consequential costs.
c) Costs associated with the replacement and/or repair of
the unit, including:
i) any freight, shipping or delivery charges
ii) any removal, installation or re-installation charges
iii) any material, and/or permits required for installation,
re-installation or repair
iv) charges to return the defective water heater and/or
component part to the manufacturer.
WHAT IS THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE?
This limited warranty runs from date of installation (or without
proof of installation, from three [3] months after the date of
manufacture) for one (1) year on Parts, PLUS four (4) additional
years on the tank only.
WHAT IS THE DURATION OF THE IMPLIED WARRANTY?
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY IMPOSED ON THE SALE OF THE
WATER HEATER UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
SALE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO ONE YEAR FROM
DATE OF ORIGINAL INSTALLATION.
HOW DOES STATE LAW RELATE TO THE WARRANTY?
Some states do not allow:
1. Limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts.
2. Limitations on incidental or consequential damages.
So the above limitations or exclusions 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.
WHAT WILL WE DO TO CORRECT PROBLEMS?
If a defect occurs within the warranty period, we will:
1. Provide a replacement water heater of our manufacture,
(or at our option) repair any unit which develops a leak in
the tank within the tank warranty period. If government
regulations require the replacement water heater to have
features not found in the defective water heater, you will
be required to pay the difference in price represented by
those government required features.
2. Provide a replacement part (or at our option repair) any part
which fails to function within the parts warranty period. To
obtain a replacement, you must forward the defective part
to us. If government regulations require the replacement
part to have features not found in the defective part, you
will be required to pay the difference in price represented
by those government required features.
We do reserve the right to verify any claims of defect by
inspection.
WHAT WILL WE NOT DO?
We will not:
1. Repair or replace any water heater, or part, subject to
conditions outlined in “What Does This Limited Warranty
Not Cover?”
2. Reimburse any costs associated with repair and/or
replacement.
3. Replace and/or repair any water heater without complete
model/serial number.
