1. SCOPE OF COVERAGE
Warranty applies to a new FAFCO solar hot water system installed by a FAFCO contractor. Warranty applies only to defects in materials and workmanship
subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations described herein. Labor for repair or replacement of solar collectors or components is excluded.
A.
FAFCO
solar collectors
are warranted for ten (10) years from the completion of initial installation. FAFCO will provide a repair kit or, at its option, replace
a defective solar collector.
B.
FAFCO system kit components
are warranted for one (1) year from the completion of initial installation at a residence. FAFCO, at its option, will replace
a defective component with a new or refurbished component.
2. NECESSARY MAINTENANCE
The buyer is expected to provide all reasonable and necessary maintenance in accordance with the FAFCO Owner’s Manual. The manual is an integral
part of the FAFCO system warranty. Noncompliance with the manual or improper maintenance will void the buyer’s warranty rights. If the buyer believes or
becomes aware that any warranted component or part is not functioning properly, the buyer must promptly notify FAFCO. Early attention to a minor
problem may help avoid serious problems later. A failure to report a problem on a timely basis may void the buyer’s warranty rights.
3. REGISTRATION
In order to validate the warranty, the buyer must submit an online warranty registration at
www.FAFCO.com
or call FAFCO customer service toll free at 800-
994-7652.
4. IDENTITY OF WARRANTEE
The warranty is extended by FAFCO and is extended only to the original consumer/buyer of the FAFCO system. This warranty is not assignable and applies
only to the original buyer. This warranty terminates upon the sale by the buyer of the premises at which the system was installed.
5. CLAIMS
If a solar collector or component is found to be defective, notify the installing FAFCO contractor for service or contact FAFCO customer service toll free at
800-994-7652 to locate a FAFCO contractor near you. A service call may be scheduled for repair or replacement.
6. WHAT IS NOT COVERED - EXCLUSIONS
1. Installations that are not in accordance with the FAFCO
installation instructions.
2. Damage resulting from failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance in accordance with the FAFCO owner’s manual including any misuse,
abuse, neglect, accident or alterations.
3. Damage caused by water hammer, thermal expansion, or system pressure in excess of 80 psi.
4. FAFCO system moved from the original installation location.
5. Freeze damage.
6. Damage resulting from a component which is not part of the FAFCO system.
7. Damage resulting from failure to properly flush hot water heater or solar storage tank upon installation of the FAFCO system.
8. Damage resulting from failure to routinely flush hot water heater or solar storage tank in order to maintain sufficient water quality that does not promote
debris, sediment, or scale build up inside of the FAFCO system.
9. Normal fading and minor deterioration of surfaces.
10. Hardware, accessories, or any component or part that is not part of the FAFCO system.
11. Conditions resulting from attempted repair or alteration by someone other than a FAFCO contractor.
12. FAFCO makes no warranty as to the level of performance of its FAFCO system, fuel or cost savings, or any particular temperature or level to which the
water will be heated. Actual performance will depend upon the amount and intensity of sunlight and other variable factors that FAFCO does not predict
and that are beyond FAFCO’s control. The performance of the system is heavily dependent upon latitude, related weather conditions and other factors.
7. EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT AND LIMITATIONS OF REMEDIES
Unless otherwise explicitly agreed to in writing, it is understood that this is the only written warranty for the FAFCO System. FAFCO HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHICH WARRANTIES ARE SPECIFICALLY WAIVED BY BUYER. In no event shall FAFCO be liable
for damage to property, lost profits, injury to goodwill or any other special, incidental or consequential damages resulting from any use or inability to use
solar hot water system, DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL INJURY, RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO BUYER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FROM THE POSSESSION,
OWNERSHIP, OR USE OF THE FAFCO™ SYSTEM OR PARTS DEEMED TO BE DEFECTIVE, EVEN IF FAFCO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,
or any breach of the above express warranty, for negligence or otherwise. THIS LIMITATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER A CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT, TORT,
STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. FAFCO’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO BUYER, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT
EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY FAFCO FROM BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. The above warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
