WARRANTY 

 

 

The wood pellet stove and insert manufactured by Even Temp, Inc. is warranted for five (5) 
years, to the original owner, against defects and workmanship on all steel parts (excluding the 
burn grate) and two (2) year on electrical components from the date of sale to the original owner. 
There specifically is no warranty on the paint, glass, burn grate, brick panels and all gaskets. 
There is no written or implied performance warranty on the stove, as the manufacturer has no 
control over the installation, daily operations, maintenance or the type of fuel burned. 
 
This warranty will not apply if the stove has not been installed, operated and maintained in strict 
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Burning other than high quality wood pellets that 
meet A.P.F.I. specifications may cause stove damage and could void the warranty. 
 
 The warranty does not cover damage or breakage due to misuse, improper handling or 
modifications. 
 
 A warranty registration card is provided. The card is to be checked and signed and returned to 
factory, by the owner. Appropriate information is to be noted on the card. 
 
All claims under this warranty must be made through the dealer where the stove was purchased. 
If an inspection by the dealer indicates that a warranty claim is justified, and that all conditions of 
this warranty have been met, the manufacturer's total responsibilities and liabilities shall be to 
repair or replace, at the manufacturer's option, the defective part(s). All costs of removal, 
shipment to and from the dealer or manufacturer, any losses during shipment and reinstallation 
and any other losses due to the stove being removed shall be covered by the owner of the stove. 
 
NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER, NOR THE SUPPLIERS TO THE PURCHASER, 
ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY, LEGAL OR OTHERWISE, FOR THE INCIDENTAL OR 
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS RESULTING FROM THE 
USE OF THIS PRODUCT. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT 
LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS, SHALL 
BE LlMITED TO ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. WHEN A 
CLAIM IS MADE AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER BASED ON THE BREACH OF THIS 
WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY 
LAW, MANUFACTURER SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, 
INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE 
WHATSOEVER IN EXCESS OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THIS PRODUCT. 
ALL WARRANTIES BY MANUFACTURER ARE SET FORTH HEREIN AND NO CLAIM 
SHALL BE MADE AGAINST MANUFACTURER ON ANY ORAL WARRANTY OR 
REPRESENTATION. 
 
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or 
limitations of implied warranties, therefore the limitations of exclusions set forth in this warranty 
may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other 
rights, which vary from state to state.
