InSinkErator product with which this limited warranty is provided (the “InSinkErator Product”), and any

or “your”).

InSinkErator warrants to Customer that your InSinkErator Product will be free from defects in materials
and workmanship, subject to the exclusions described below, for the warranty period, commencing on
the later of: (a) the date your InSinkErator Product is originally installed, (b) the date of purchase, or (c)
the date of manufacture as identified by your InSinkErator Product serial number. You will be required
to show written documentation supporting (a) or (b). If you are unable to provide documentation
supporting either (a) or (b), the Warranty Period commencement date will be determined by
Manufacturer, in its sole and absolute discretion, based upon your InSinkErator Product serial number.

What is Covered
This limited warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship, subject to the exclusions below,
in InSinkErator Products used by a consumer Customer for residential use only, and includes all
replacement parts and labor costs. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY SHALL BE LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE INSINKERATOR PRODUCT,
PROVIDED THAT IF WE DETERMINE IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION THAT NEITHER REMEDY IS
PRACTICABLE, WE MAY PROVIDE YOU A REFUND OF YOUR PURCHASE PRICE OR A CREDIT
TOWARDS ANOTHER INSINKERATOR PRODUCT.

What is not Covered
This limited warranty does not extend to and expressly excludes:
• Losses or damages or the inability to operate your InSinkErator Product resulting from conditions

beyond the Manufacturer’s control including, without limitation, accident, alteration, misuse, abuse,
neglect, negligence (other than Manufacturer’s), failure to install, maintain, assemble, or mount
the InSinkErator Product in accordance with Manufacturer’s instructions or local electrical and
plumbing codes.

• Wear and tear expected to occur during the normal course of use, including without limitation,

cosmetic rust, scratches, dents or comparable and reasonably expected losses or damages.

In addition to the above exclusions, this limited warranty does not apply to InSinkErator Products
installed in a commercial or industrial application.

No Other Express Warranty Applies
This limited warranty is the sole and exclusive warranty provided to the Customer identified above.
No other express warranty, written or verbal, applies. No employee, agent, dealer, or other person is
authorized to alter this limited warranty or make any other warranty on behalf of Manufacturer. The
terms of this limited warranty shall not be modified by the Manufacturer, the original owner, or their
respective successors or assigns.

If a covered claim is made during the Warranty Period, Manufacturer will, through its authorized service
representative, either repair or replace your InSinkErator Product. Cost of replacement parts or a
new InSinkErator Product, and cost of labor for repair or installation of the replacement InSinkErator
Product are provided at no cost to you. Repair or replacement shall be determined by Manufacturer or
its authorized service representative in their sole discretion. All repair and replacement services will
be provided to you at your home. If Manufacturer determines that your InSinkErator Product must be
replaced rather than repaired, the limited warranty on the replacement InSinkErator Product will be
limited to the unexpired term remaining in the original Warranty Period.

Limitation of Liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL MANUFACTURER OR ITS
AUTHORIZED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY ECONOMIC LOSS, WHETHER
RESULTING FROM NONPERFORMANCE, USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
INSINKERATOR PRODUCT OR THE MANUFACTURER’S OR ITS AUTHORIZED SERVICE
REPRESENTATIVE’S NEGLIGENCE. MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES
CAUSED BY DELAY IN PERFORMANCE AND IN NO EVENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, INFRINGEMENT, NEGLIGENCE,
STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE), SHALL MANUFACTURER’S LIABILITY TO YOU
EXCEED THE PRICE PAID BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR THE INSINKERATOR PRODUCT.

The term “consequential” damages shall include, but not be limited to, loss of anticipated profits,
business interruption, loss of use or revenue, cost of capital or loss or damage to property or equipment.

above limitation may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may
also have other rights which vary from state to state.
