LIMITED WARRANTY
TERMS & CONDITIONS
The Skimmer Motion manufacturer (OAI) LLC., here-
by provides the following limited warranty to the pur-
chaser (“Customer”): WHICH IS SUBJECT ONLY TO THE FOL-
LOWINGCONDITIONSANDEXCLUSIONS:
This limited warranty does not include replacement of parts
which become discolored due to exposure to sunlight or chem-
icals, or parts which, even if worn, do not affect performance of
the Skimmer Motion. Nicks, scratches, fading, discoloration,
etc. are cosmetic conditions that do not affect mechanical per-
formance. Only About Innovation and dealers reserve the right
to deny any and all warranty claims made for worn parts if the
wear does not negatively affect mechanical performance of the
Skimmer Motion.
The Skimmer Motion is designed to function in a properly de-
signed, constructed and maintained pool. This limited warranty
does not extend in the circumstances where the pool’s design,
construction or maintenance is defective, substandard or inap-
propriatefor theSkimmerMotion’soperation.
SkimmerMotion is manufactured with the highest standards, it
does not have broken parts so replacement of acrylic base (in-
cluding the pin), Central basket, and T-joint will only be replaced
during the first 30 days of the acquisition, to cover any problem
during shipping orwarehouse handling.
Deterioration, discoloration or brittleness of any pool finish can
be caused over time separately by, or in combination with, age,
animbalanceinwaterchemistry,improper installation, andoth-
er factors. Customer hereby disclaims any and all claims, and
releases Manufacturer from any and all claims for damages to
any pool plaster or vinyl liner in Customer’s pool by reason of the
useand/oroperation of the Skimmer Motion.
Under no circumstances shall Manufacturer be liable for any
loss or damage, whether direct, consequential or incidental,
arising out of the use or inability touse the Skimmer Motion or the
Hose in Customer’spool.
This limited warranty does not apply to any injury, loss, damage,
defect, or malfunction of the Skimmer Motion or failure to func-
tion resulting from any failure to operate or maintain the Skim-
mer Motion in accordance with the directions contained in the
Installation and guide or operating instructions provided by Only
about Innovation LLC or any injury, loss, damage, defect, or mal-
function, or failure to function resulting from any accident, acts
of God, alterations in the Skimmer Motion by anyone other than
Manufacturer; or misuse, unreasonable use, tampering, abuse,
acts, omissions, failureornegligencebyanyone other thanMan-
ufacturer including but not limited to such damages orinjuries to
parts resulting from improper installation, or damage to pump
parts resulting from running the pump dry (e.g., interruption in
or inadequate supply of water to internal pump parts due to loss
of prime, or obstruction in lines or otherwise); or damage, defect
or malfunction resulting from defects in, failure or malfunction
of, or negligence, abuse, or misuse with respect to equipment
other than the Skimmer Motion; or any damage or loss of any na-
ture whatsoever and personal injury caused due to the presence
of aforeign object in or about the pool Disclaimer of Liability
About YourPool andyour SkimmerMotion.
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your
pool. The Skimmer Motion is a very passive product that will have
no impact on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration
and brittleness of any pool finish can be caused separately by,
or in combination with, age, an imbalance in pool water chem-
istry, improper installation and other factors. An automatic pool
Skimmer, such as Skimmer Motion, will not remove or cause
wear on “good” pool plaster. In fact, the opposite is true–pool
plaster will eventually cause wear on the Skimmer Motion.
The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined in-ground swim-
ming pools, because vinyl liners are also affected by the envi-
ronment and factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight and
the pool’s surroundings. Therefore over time, vinyl can become
brittle and weak. In addition, vinyl-lined pools are affected by
the workmanship, composition and installation of the liner and
the workmanship and quality of construction of the supporting
walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute
to liner failure. The existence of any of these types of conditions
in your pool is not caused by the use or operation of Skimmer
Motion. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for repairs or
replacement to any of these structures or components of the
customer’spool.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition
and maintenance of the pool’s surface, water and deck. Warran-
ty part replacement aresubjectto a shippingcost of $6.00.
