Limited Warranty and Limitation Liability
BW Technologies LP (BW) warrants the product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of two
years, beginning on the date of shipment to the buyer. This warranty extends only to the sale of new and unused products to the original buyer. BW’s
warranty obligation is limited, at BW’s option, to refund of the purchase price, repair or replacement of a defective product that is returned to a BW
authorized service center within the warranty period. In no event shall BW’s liability hereunder exceed the purchase price actually paid by the buyer for the
Product.
This warranty does not include:
a) fuses, disposable batteries or the routine replacement of parts due to the normal wear and tear of the product arising from use;
b) any product which in BW’s opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected or damaged, by accident or abnormal conditions of operation, handling or use;
c) any damage or defects attributable to repair of the product by any person other than an authorized dealer, or the installation of unapproved parts on the
product; or
The obligations set forth in this warranty are conditional on:
a) proper storage, installation, calibration, use, maintenance and compliance with the product manual instructions and any other applicable recommendations of
BW;
b) the buyer promptly notifying BW of any defect and, if required, promptly making the product available for correction. No goods shall be returned to BW until
receipt by the buyer of shipping instructions from BW; and
c) the right of BW to require that the buyer provide proof of purchase such as the original invoice, bill of sale or packing slip to establish that the product is within
the warranty period.
THE BUYER AGREES THAT THIS WARRANTY IS THE BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BW SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
