Warranty
RHS, Inc. ("RHS") warrants each new Bestway product to be free from defects in RHS manu-
factured components and workmanship. This warranty is applicable only for the normal service
life expectancy of the product or components, not to exceed twenty-four (24) consecutive months
from the date of delivery of the new Bestway product to the original purchaser.
Purchased components installed by RHS (pumps, controls, tanks, wheels, valves, cylinders, fit-
tings, etc.) shall be warranted by their respective manufacturer for a period of twelve (12)
consecutive months from the date of delivery of the new Bestway product to the original purchaser.
A completed Owner Registration Form from the original purchaser must have been received by
RHS to activate warranty coverage.
Genuine Bestway replacement parts and components will be warranted for ninety (90) days
from date of purchase, or the remainder of the original equipment warranty period, whichever is
longer.
Under no circumstances will it cover any merchandise or components thereof, which, in the
opinion of RHS, has been subjected to misuse, unauthorized modifications, alteration, an accident
or if repairs have been made with parts other than those obtainable through RHS.
Our obligation under this warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing, free of charge to
the original purchaser, any part that, in our judgement, shall show evidence of such defect, provid-
ed further that such part shall be returned within thirty (30) days from the date of failure to RHS
through the dealer or distributor from whom the product was purchased, transportation charges pre-
paid.
This warranty shall not be interpreted to render RHS liable for injury or damages of any kind
or nature to person or property. This warranty does not extend to the loss of crops, loss because of
delay in harvesting, or any expense or loss incurred for labor, substitute machinery, rental or for
any other reason.

Except as set forth above, RHS shall have no obligation or liability of any kind on account
of its equipment and shall not be liable for special or consequential damages. RHS makes no
other warranty, expressed or implied, and, specifically, RHS disclaims any implied warranty
or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Some states or provinces do not per-
mit limitations or exclusions of implied warranties or incidental or consequential damages, so
the limitations or exclusion in this warranty may not apply.
This warranty is subject to any existing conditions of supply, which may directly affect our
ability to obtain materials or manufacture replacement parts.
RHS reserves the right to make improvements in design or changes in specifications at any
time, without incurring any obligation to owners of units previously sold.
