      WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

PRODUCT WARRANTY: 1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam) warrants the product(s) under a one-year limited warranty to be free from defects in the material or 

workmanship or both for a period not exceeding twelve consecutive months from the date of original purchase by the first retail 

consumer or first commercial end user. “Consumer use“ means personal recreational use by a retail consumer. “Commercial use“ 

or “commercial application“ means all other uses, including use for commercial, income producing or rental purposes. Once 

a product has experienced commercial use, it shall thereafter be considered as a commercial use product for the purpose of 

this warranty. This warranty applies to the original owner that provides a proof of purchase. The warranty is not transferable. 

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or commercial end user, and continues for 

the twelve month consecutive period thereafter. Any unit used in a commercial application is covered for a period of 90 days 

after purchase by the first commercial end user. For the warranty to be valid, the product must be registered online, or the 

warranty card must be filled out and received by Ardisam, within 30 days of purchase. Ardisam shall not be obligated to ship 

any repair or replacement product to any location outside of the United States of America or Canada.*

For replacement parts, phone 800-345-6007.

*This warranty policy applies only to products which have not been subjected to negligent use, misuse, uses other than 

those indicated in the product’s operator’s manual, alteration, accident, use of unauthorized parts, failure to perform periodic 

maintenance as specified in product’s operator’s manual, normal wear and tear, use of unauthorized parts or repairs performed 

at unauthorized service centers. There is no other expressed warranty. Implied warranties, including those of merchantability 

and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to one year from purchase, or to the extent permitted by law. All other implied 

warranties are excluded. Liability for incidental or consequential damages are excluded to the extent exclusion is permitted by 

law. Ardisam does not assume, and does not authorize any other person to assume for Ardisam, any liability in connection with 

the sale of Ardisam products. 

To be at “No Charge,” warranty work must be sent directly to and performed by Ardisam or 

an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility

. To obtain warranty service and/or replacement instructions, contact the 

Ardisam Customer Service Department at 800-345-6007. If you choose to ship your product to Ardisam for warranty repair, 

you must first have prior approval from Ardisam by calling the Ardisam Customer Service Department for a return material 

authorization number (RMA#). Under these circumstances, all items must be shipped prepaid. Ardisam will at no charge, repair 

or replace, at the discretion of Ardisam, any defective part which satisfies all conditions stated above. Ardisam retains the right 

to change models, specifications and price without notice. Ardisam shall not be obligated to ship any repair or replacement 

product to any location outside of the United States of America or Canada.
