17. WARRANTY
FIVE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY FOR BEST
®
PRODUCTS
Warranty Period and Exclusions: Broan-NuTone, LLC (the "Company") warrants to the consumer purchaser of its product ("you") that the product (the
"Product") will be free from material defects in the materials or its workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the date of original purchase (or such
longer period as may be required by applicable law) or a period of two (2) years from the date of service for any labor provided on the Product.
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 (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law).
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT EXTEND TO FLUORESCENT LAMP STARTERS, TUBES AND BULBS, FUSES, FILTERS, DUCTS, ROOF CAPS, WALL CAPS
AND OTHER ACCESSORIES FOR DUCTING. This warranty does not cover (a) normal maintenance and service, (b) normal wear and tear, (c) any Products or
parts which 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, (f) damage caused by
exposure to salt air, (g) damage in transit, (h) natural wear of finish, (i) Products in commercial or nonresidential use, (j) damage caused by fire, flood or
other act of God, or (k) Products with altered, defaced or removed serial numbers. This warranty covers only Products sold to consumers in North America.
This warranty supersedes all prior warranties and, subject to applicable law, 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 and conditions, express or implied. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, AND DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS 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 or conditions, the duration of any applicable implied warranty or condition
is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some jurisdictions (which may include the Province of Quebec or specific US 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 (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law).
Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refund the money actually paid by you for the Product. If the Product or component is no longer
available, replacement may be made with a similar product of equal or greater value, at Company's sole discretion. This is your sole and exclusive remedy
for breach of this limited warranty.
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 jurisdictions 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 jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers,
exclusions, and limitations of liability under this warranty will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
This warranty covers only 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.
