Limited One Year Warranty

At AcuRite, we proudly uphold our commitment 

to quality technology. Chaney Instrument Co. 

warrants that all products it manufactures to 

be of good material and workmanship, and to 

be free of defects when properly installed and 

operated for a period of one year from the 

date of purchase. 
We recommend that you visit us at 

www.AcuRite.com for the fastest way to 

register your product. However, product 

registration does not eliminate the need to 

retain your original proof of purchase in order 

to obtain warranty benefits.

 

Chaney Instrument Co. warrants that all products it 

manufactures to be of good material and workmanship, and to be 

free of defects when properly installed and operated for a period 

of one year from the date of purchase. Remedy for breach of 

this warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the defective 

item(s). Any product which, under normal use and service, is 

proven to breach the warranty contained herein within ONE YEAR 

from date of sale will, upon examination by Chaney, and at its 

sole option, be repaired or replaced by Chaney. Transportation 

costs and charges for returned goods shall be paid for by 

the purchaser. Chaney hereby disclaims all responsibility for 

such transportation costs and charges. This warranty will 

not be breached, and Chaney will give no credit for products 

it manufactures which have received normal wear and tear, 

been damaged (including by acts of nature), tampered, abused, 

improperly installed, damaged in shipping, or repaired or altered 

by others than authorized representatives of Chaney. 

The above-described warranty is expressly in lieu of all other 

warranties, express or implied, and all other warranties are

all liability for special, consequential or incidental damages, 

whether arising in tort or by contract from any breach of this 

warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation

or exclusion may not apply to you. Chaney further disclaims all 

liability from personal injury relating to its products to the extent 

permitted by law. By acceptance of any of Chaney’s products, 

the purchaser assumes all liability for the consequences arising 

from their use or misuse. No person, frm or corporation is

with the sale of its products. Furthermore, no person, frm or

paragraph, and the preceding paragraph, unless done in writing
