2-Notice CO ANG.qxd 13/09/10
The present terms and conditions are governed by the French legislation in force at the time of publishing and
apply to the Vortex
TERMS & CONDITIONS
We guarantee that the equipment is technically flawless and free from defects, both with respect to mate-
rial and workmanship, and that it corresponds to the evolution of technology and to the industry standards
in force at the time of its introduction for sale to the market.
Subsequent modifications made to our products (enhancements or modifications related to the technolo-
gical evolution of the product) will not result in any intervention on our behalf.
The warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of the apparatus, only in the case of recognised conformity-
related defect. The choice between these two options will be our decision. The operations covered by the
warranty will not exceed the damage suffered directly, and will not entail unreasonable costs to be borne
by the retailer or manufacturer.
The warranty will automatically become void if the device has been tampered with (for repair or other) by
a third party external to our services or by a repair service not approved by us, or if modifications have
been made without our written approval. The warranty will also be void in the case of use non conform to
the User Manual supplied together with the apparatus.
Any legal warranty such as described under article 1641 of the French Civil Code will apply. Any law entering
into force after the date of publishing of the present warranty, and the terms of which concern the general
public, will apply automatically, even if said terms were to differ from those stated in the present document.
EXCLUSIONS FROM THE WARRANTY:
• Parts subject to normal wear such as the tires, brushes or filter.
• Electrical damage caused by lightning or due to a faulty electrical connection.
• Damage due to shock or mishandling (robot, including accessories and cables).
• Under no circumstances will repair work or replacement under the terms of the warranty entail an
extension or renewal of the period of warranty of the apparatus.
Period covered by the warranty
The warranty runs for two years, from the date of invoicing to the first owner.
Object of the warranty
During the period covered by the warranty as defined here-above, any part recognised as presenting
a defect will be repaired or exchanged by the manufacturer with a new or fully operational part.
Under reservations related to future French legal provisions concerning the general public that may come into
force after the date of publication of the present warranty, travel and labour expenses will be borne by the user.
In the case of return to our workshop, shipping costs (return) will be borne by the user, labour expenses will
be covered by the manufacturer.
Immobilisation and deprivation of use of a device for purposes related to its repair will not open right to
compensation. In all cases, the retailer's legal warranty will continue to apply as provided for under article 4
of Decree n°78-464 dated 24
Damage in transit
Appliances are transported at the users' own risk.
It is the user's responsibility to check that the appliance is in perfect condition, prior to accepting its delivery.
Our responsibility will not be engaged in this respect.
CAUTION: USE OF THE VORTEX
Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to rapid surface wear of pattern removal caused by
objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including pool brushes, pool toys, floats, fountains, chlorine
dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners. Some vinyl liner patterns can be seriously scratched or abraded
simply by rubbing the surface with a pool brush. Ink from the pattern can also rub off during the installation
process or when it comes into contact with objects in the pool. Zodiac Pool Care Europe, is not responsible
for, and the Limited Warrantly does not cover, pattern removal, abrasion or markings on vinyl liners.
