44

to the terms and conditions contained in this Limited 

Warranty. There will be no charge for labor to repair 

the  defect  for  one  year,  although  providing  access 

to  affect  the  repair  is  your  responsibility  as  the  spa 

owner.  Freight charges for replacement parts is the 

responsibility of the spa owner. You may be assessed 

reasonable  repairman  travel  mileage  charges.  In 

the event that the spa is removed to a repair facility 

for  repair  and  reinstalled,  the  cost  of  removal  and 

reinstallation  will  be  your  responsibility  as  the  spa 

owner. If the Manufacturer determines that repair of 

the covered defect is not feasible, it reserves the right 

to provide a replacement spa instead, equal in value 

to the purchase price of the original spa. In such an 

event, reasonable costs for removal of the original spa, 

shipping  costs  from  the  factory  for  the  replacement 

spa  and  delivery  and installation  of  the  replacement 

will  be  your  responsibility  as  the  spa  owner.    The 

replacement spa will carry the balance of the original 

spa’s  warranty.  Spa  covers  are  not  included.  This 

warranty ends either by specified time frame, owner-

transfer, relocation, or installation of any component 

other than by manufacturer.

Warranty Limitations

This Limited Warranty is void if: American Spas (the 

“Manufacturer”)  or  its  designated  representative 

determines  that  the  spa  has  been  subjected  to 

alteration, neglect, misuse or abuse, or freight damage 

caused  by  the  common  carrier;  any  repairs  have 

been  attempted  by  anyone  other  than  a  designated 

representative; or if the failure is caused by accident, 

acts  of  God  or  other  causes  beyond  the  control  of 

the Manufacturer. Neglect, misuse and abuse include 

any  installation,  operation  or  maintenance  of  the 

spa  other  than  in  accordance  with  the  instructions 

contained  in  the  owner’s  manual  provided  with  the 

spa, including but not limited to the failure to maintain 

proper water chemistry and chemical balance and the 

use of abrasive or improper cleaners or non-genuine 

parts and accessories. This Limited Warranty does not 

provide  coverage  for  the  insulating  cover,  any  item 

attached to or installed on the spa after the date of 

manufacture, or for gaining access to any component 

for repair or replacement. Spa units in commercial use 

are excluded from any coverage whatsoever. The spa 

owner  accepts  liability  for  repair  work  performed  by 

anyone other than the Manufacturer or a designated 

American Spa representative.

Limitations

The Manufacturer disclaims all warranties, expressed or 

implied, in fact or in law, to the extent allowed by your 

State’s Law, including the warranty of merchantability 

and  fitness  for  use,  except  as  stated  specifically 

herein.  All  warranty  service  must  be  performed  by 

the  Manufacturer  or  its  designated  representative 

using  authorized  American  Spa  parts.  No  agent, 

dealer, distributor, service company or other party is 

authorized  to  change,  modify  or  extend  the  terms 

of  this  limited  warranty  in  any  manner  whatsoever. 

The  Manufacturer  will  not  be  responsible  for  any 

statements or representations made in any form that 

go beyond, are broader than, or are inconsistent with 

any authorized literature or specifications furnished by 

American Spas.

Disclaimers

The  Manufacturer  and  its  representatives  shall  not 

be  liable  for  any  injury,  loss,  cost  or  other  damage, 

whether  incidental  or  consequential,  arising  out  of 

any defect covered by this limited warranty, including 

without limitation, loss of use of the spa and cost for 

removal of defective product even if the Manufacturer 

was advised of the possibility of damage. The liability 

of  the  Manufacturer  under  this  limited  warranty,  if 

any,  shall  not  exceed  the  original  amount  paid  for 

the  defective  product.  Coverage  under  this  limited 

warranty  shall  commence  as  of  the  original  date  of 

delivery and the duration of such coverage shall not 

extend for any reason whatsoever beyond the stated 

time  periods.  These  disclaimers  shall  be  equally 

applicable to any service provided by the Manufacturer 

and its designated representatives.

Legal Rights

This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights. 

You may also have other rights that vary from state 

to state. Some states do not allow limitations on how 

long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may 

not apply to you.
