10 Year Limited Warranty
Gentherm hereby gives the warranty set forth below to the original
consumer purchaser (the “Purchaser”) of this Climate Control Sleep
System (“Unit”). This warranty begins on the “Warranty Commence-
ment Date”, which is either (A) the date of purchase for new, unused
units from Gentherm or (B) the date of manufacture of units that
have been used by Gentherm as oor or display models. If original
proof of purchase is not provided by the Purchaser, Gentherm re-
serves the right to determine if the unit is covered by this warranty
by any means it deems appropriate or to use the Unit manufacturing
date as the Warranty Commencement Date. This warranty covers
a 10-year period from the Warranty Commencement Date; however,
this warranty provides different coverage over such 10-year period as
described below and the Purchaser’s remedies are limited to those set
forth below each warranty coverage period.
Full One Year Warranty
Gentherm warrants the Unit against defects in workmanship or
materials for a period of one (1) year from the Warranty Commence-
ment Date (the “Full Warranty Period”). Upon written notice of
defect received by Gentherm from the Purchaser during the Full
Warranty Period, Gentherm will, at Gentherm’s sole expense, (A)
with respect to any defective part(s) that Gentherm determines can
be replaced without professional repair or installation, upon return of
the defective part(s) from the Purchaser to Gentherm at Gentherm’s
expense and in accordance with Gentherm’s written instructions,
deliver replacement part(s) to the Purchaser and (B) with respect to
any defective part(s) that Gentherm determines must be repaired or
replaced by a professional, deliver any required replacement part(s)
to a Gentherm authorized repair center and pay for the labor associ-
ated with such repair or replacement.

USER GUIDE CopyRIGht © 2012 GENthERM 18
Additional One Year Limited Warranty
(Year 2)
Gentherm further warrants the Unit against defects in workman-
ship or materials for the period beginning on the rst day following
the one year anniversary of the Warranty Commencement Date and
continuing until the second anniversary of the Warranty Commence-
ment Date (the “One Year Limited Warranty Period”). Upon written
notice of defect received by Gentherm from the Purchaser during the
One Year Limited Warranty Period, Gentherm will, upon return of
the defective part(s) from the Purchaser to Gentherm in accordance
with Gentherm’s written instructions, deliver replacement part(s)
to the Purchaser, provided, however, that the Purchaser shall be
responsible for all shipping costs associated with return of the defec-
tive part(s) and delivery of the replacement part(s) and Gentherm
shall not be responsible for any installation costs or other labor
expense associated with any required repair or replacement.
Additional 8-Year Limited Warranty
(Years 3-10)
Gentherm further warrants the Unit against defects in workmanship
or materials (excluding electronics, electrical components, fan motors
or wiring) for the period beginning on the rst day following the
second year anniversary of the Warranty Commencement Date and
continuing until the tenth anniversary of the Warranty Commence-
ment Date (the “Eight Year Limited Warranty Period”). Upon writ-
ten notice of covered defect received by Gentherm from the Purchas-
er during the Eight Year Limited Warranty Period, Gentherm will
offer replacement part(s) to the Purchaser upon the following terms
and conditions: Purchaser would be required to pay 1/7th of the then
current replacement cost of the defective part(s) multiplied by the
number of fully completed years (as of the date Gentherm received
written notice of such defect) that have lapsed after the second anni-
versary of the Warranty Commencement Date and Gentherm would
be responsible for the remainder of the replacement cost.

USER GUIDE CopyRIGht © 2012 GENthERM 19
Gentherm’s obligation with respect to replacement cost would be sub-
ject to return of the defective part(s) from the Purchaser to Gentherm
in accordance with Gentherm’s written instructions and the Purchas-
er shall be responsible for all shipping costs associated with return
of the defective part(s) and delivery of the replacement part(s) and
Gentherm shall not be responsible for any installation costs or other
labor expense associated with any required repair or replacement.
Additional Terms and Conditions
This warranty does not apply: (a) to any damage caused by the Pur-
chaser; (b) if there has been any unauthorized repair or replacement
of the Unit or any of its parts; (c) if the unit has been mishandled
(whether in transit or by other means), subjected to physical or elec-
trical abuse or misuse, or otherwise operated in any way inconsistent
with the operation and maintenance procedures outlined in the
Climate Control Sleep System User Guide, this warranty, and any
other applicable document published or approved by Gentherm; or (d)
abnormal use of the Unit (i.e., any use other than for a mattress); or
(e) normal wear and tear. Repairs to or replacement of the Climate
Control Sleep System or its components under the terms of this lim-
ited warranty will apply to the original warranty period and will not
serve to extend such period. The decision to repair or to replace de-
fective parts under this warranty shall be made, or case to be made,
by Gentherm at its option and in its sole discretion.
