STANDARD WARRANTY
Ziggity Systems, Inc. (“Ziggity”) warrants to the original retail purchaser (“Purchaser”) of any Ziggity product (“Product”) that for one
(1) year from the date of original retail purchase the Product will be free from defects in materials and workmanship that are material
in nature. The sole remedy available to Purchaser in the event of such a defect will be the repair or replacement (at Ziggity’s sole
option) of the materially defective Product, excluding labor. Purchaser will be responsible for the expense of shipping the defective
Product to Ziggity and, upon Ziggity’s approval of the warranty claim, Ziggity will be responsible for the expense of shipping the
repaired or replaced Product to Purchaser. Any Product or Product replacement parts provided by Ziggity under this warranty are
only warranted for the remainder of the warranty period for the original Product. Any Product or Product replacement part replaced
by Ziggity under this warranty becomes the property of Ziggity.
This warranty excludes liability for defects in or damage to the Product (both internal and external) caused, directly or
indirectly, by misuse, neglect, negligence, alteration, accident, excessive mineral or chemical contact, corrosive chemical
use, minerals or sediment in the water, poor quality water, acts of nature or failure to: (A) follow Ziggity’s guidelines and
recommendations for the Product, (B) follow installation and operating instructions for the Product, (C) use potable and
ltered water in and with the Product, or (D) properly maintain the Product. Furthermore, this warranty does not extend to
any item that is manufactured by others, including without limitation items such as: galvanized support pipe, water lters,
water meters, sight gauges and proportioners. These items are warranted separately by the original manufacturer, if at all.
Ziggity makes no other representations or warranties of any kind except as expressly stated in this warranty. Ziggity
disclaims any and all implied warranties including the warranty of merchantability and the warranty of tness for a
particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Ziggity shall not be liable to Purchaser for any
consequential, incidental, exemplary, punitive, special, or indirect damages, and Ziggity shall not be liable for any
damages that are based on negligence, breach of warranty, or strict liability. Ziggity’s liability under this warranty shall
in no event exceed the purchase price paid by Purchaser for the defective Product. Some states do not allow exclusion
or limitation of damages to the full extent described above, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply fully
to you.
Ziggity may from time to time, through its issuance of formal Information Update documents, provide for supplemental warranty
coverage in addition to this standard warranty for certain products, or may provide for deviations or exclusions from this standard
warranty for certain products. If any such supplemental, deviation, or exclusion Information Updates apply to your Product, you will
be provided with a copy of such Information Updates at the time of your original retail purchase and the standard warranty provided
for above will be deemed modied accordingly.
No person, including any dealer, distributor, agent, or other representative of Ziggity, is authorized to make any
representation or warranty concerning the Product other than as specically contained in this standard warranty and
any Information Update from Ziggity providing for any supplemental warranty coverage or deviation or exclusion from
warranty coverage. Ziggity reserves the right to change Product models, make changes to the Product and Product
specications, at any time and without notice or obligation to Purchaser.
ZIGGITY SYSTEMS, INC.
EXTENDED DRINKER WARRANTY
In addition to its standard warranty, Ziggity provides an extended warranty for certain Drinkers manufactured by Ziggity. All other
provisions of the standard warranty apply to the Extended Drinker Warranty. If any covered Drinker is determined by Ziggity to be
defective in materials or workmanship after the expiration of the one (1) year standard warranty period and prior to ten (10) years
after the date of the original retail purchase, Ziggity will provide a replacement Drinker or Drinker components, as applicable, to the
original retail purchaser at the following discount off of published list/brutto prices:
End User End User
Purchase Date Discount
0 - 36 months 100% (No charge)
37 - 60 months 65%
61 - 120 months 40%
WARNING – AVOID USE WITH OR EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE PRODUCTS
Do not allow Ziggity products to come into contact with petroleum, phenol or aldehyde based products or any other corrosive
product in general. Contact with such corrosive products is likely to result in damage to or failure of the Ziggity product. Additionally,
aggressive chlorination and/or acidication programs (greater than 1 ppm and/or pH less than 6) will shorten the life of Ziggity
products. Failure to follow this warning will void any otherwise applicable warranty coverage for the Ziggity product when the
product is chemically damaged.
