All  La  Marche  Manufacturing  Co.  equipment  has  been  thoroughly  tested  and  found  to  be  in  proper 
operating  condition  upon  shipment  from  the  factory  and  is  warranted  to  be  free  from  any  defect  in 
workmanship and material that may develop within one year from date of purchase.  In addition to the 
standard  one  (1)  year  warranty,  La  Marche  warrants  its  magnetics  and  power  diodes  on  a  parts 
replacement basis only for nine (9) more years under normal use. 

Any  part  or  parts  of  the  equipment  (except  protective  devices,  DC  connectors  and  other  wear-related 
items) that prove defective within a one (1) year period shall be replaced without charge providing such 
defect,  in  our  opinion,  is  due  to  faulty  material  or  workmanship  and  not  caused  by  tampering,  abuse, 
misapplication  or  improper  installation.    Magnetics  and  power  diodes  are  warranted  for  ten  (10)  years 
after date of purchase.  During the last nine (9) years of this ten (10) year warranty period, the warranty 
covers  parts  replacement  only,  no  labor  or  other  services  are  provided  by  La  Marche,  nor  is  La  Marche 
obligated to reimburse the owner or any other person for work performed.  

Should  a  piece  of  equipment  require  major  component  replacement  or  repair  during  warranty  period, 
these can be handled in one of three ways: 

1.

 

If  the  Purchaser  elects  to  take  the  responsibility  of  repairing  the  equipment  and  requests  replacement  part(s),  Purchaser  or 
Sales Representative must contact Factory for return authorization and a purchase order must be issued. Replacement part(s) 
will be promptly shipped and invoiced. After the defective part(s) are returned and inspected at the Factory, if the defect(s) 
were due to faulty material or workmanship, credit will be issued. 

2.

 

The equipment can be returned to the La Marche factory to have the inspections, parts replacements and testing performed 
by  factory  personnel.    Should  it  be  necessary  to  return  a  piece  of  equipment  or  parts  to  the  factory,  the  customer  or  sales 
representative  must  obtain  authorization  from  the  factory.    If  upon  inspection  at  the  factory,  the  defect  was  due  to  faulty 
material or workmanship, all repairs will be made at no cost to the customer during the first year. If the Extended Warranty is 
purchased, the parts required for repair will also be at no cost but La Marche will notify the Purchaser of the costs of Labor to 
replace the defective part(s). A Purchase Order to cover this labor is required before repairs will be initiated.  Transportation 
charges or duties shall be borne by Purchaser. 

3.

 

If  the  purchaser  elects  not  to  return  the  equipment  to  the  factory  and  wishes  a  factory  service  representative  to  make 
adjustments  and/or  repairs  at  the  equipment  location,  La  Marche's  field  service  labor  rates  will  apply.    A  purchase  order  to 
cover the labor and transportation cost is required prior to the deployment of the service representative. 

In accepting delivery of the equipment, the purchaser assumes full responsibility for proper installation, 
installation adjustments and service arrangements.  Should minor adjustments be required, the local La 
Marche sales representative should be contacted to provide this service only. 

All sales are final.  Only standard La Marche units will be considered for return.  A 25% restocking fee is 
charged when return is factory authorized.  Special units are not returnable. 

In  no  event  shall  La  Marche  Manufacturing  Co.  have  any  liability  for  consequential  damages,  or  loss, 
damage or expense directly or indirectly arising from the use of the products, or any inability to use them 
either  separately  or  in  combination  with  other  equipment  or  materials,  or  from  any  other  cause.    In 
addition, any alterations of equipment made by anyone other than La Marche Manufacturing Co. renders 
this warranty null and void. 

La  Marche  Manufacturing  Co.  reserves  the  right  to  make  revisions  in  current  production  of  equipment, 
and assumes no obligation to incorporate these revisions in earlier models. 

The  failure  of  La  Marche  Manufacturing  Co.  to  object  to  provisions  contained  in  customers'  purchase 
orders  or  other  communications  shall  not  be  deemed  a  waiver  of  the  terms  or  conditions  hereof,  nor 
acceptance of such provisions. 

 

THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE, SUPERSEDES AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR 
IMPLIED,  INCLUDING  ANY  IMPLIED  WARRANTY  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  OR  FITNESS.    NO  PERSON,  AGENT  OR 
DEALER IS AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY WARRANTIES ON BEHALF OF THE MANUFACTURER, OR TO ASSUME FOR THE 
MANUFACTURER ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF ITS PRODUCTS UNLESS MADE IN WRITING 
AND SIGNED BY AN OFFICIAL OF THE MANUFACTURER.
