Limited Warranty
StormPro™ warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”) of StormPro products
that they will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the Warranty Period of 36 months from date
of manufacture.
Our warranty will not apply to any product, that, in our sole judgment, has been subject to negligence,
misapplication, improper installation, or improper maintenance. Without limiting the foregoing, operating a three
phase motor with single phase power through a phase converter will void the warranty. Note also that three
phase motors must be protected by three-leg, ambient compensated, extra-quick trip overload relays of the
recommended size or the warranty is void.
Your only remedy, and StormPro's only duty, is that StormPro repair or replace defective products (at StormPro
choice). You must pay all labor and shipping charges associated with this warranty and must request warranty
service through the installing dealer as soon as a problem is discovered. No request for service will be accepted
if received after the Warranty Period has expired. This warranty is non-transferable.
STORMPRO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONTINGENT
DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES SHALL NOT EXTEND
BEYOND THE DURATION EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on the
duration of an implied warranty, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You. This warranty gives
you specic legal rights and You may also have other rights which may vary from state to state.
