resentation or warranty other than those contained in this war-
ranty; any affirmation, representation or warranty other than
those contained in this warranty shall not be enforceable against

Limitations
This warranty shall not apply following incorrect operating pro-
cedures, breakage or damages caused by fault, carelessness,
abuse, misuse, misapplication, improper maintenance, alteration
or modification of the unit, as well as chemical or natural corro-
sion, accident, fire, flood, act of God or any other casualty.
The owner/end-user of the product covered by the present war-
ranty is entirely responsible for its proper installation and elec-
trical wiring. MAAX neither installs nor supervises the installa-
tion, nor hires a contractor for this purpose, and consequently
cannot be held responsible for any default, breakage or damages
caused thereby or resulting thereof, either directly or indirectly.
The owner/end-user must provide access to the components of
the product as described in the installation guide, so that MAAX
can execute the warranty specified herein. If such access is not
available, all expenses to provide said access will be the respon-
sibility of the owner/end-user.
This warranty does not apply to products or equipment not
installed or operated in accordance with instructions supplied
by MAAX and all applicable rules, regulations and legislation
pertaining to such installations.
MAAX strongly recommends that its products—for example,
but without limitation, shower doors and other items—be
installed by professionals with experience in bathroom products.
Installation of shower doors by an inexperienced person may
result in glass breakage and, consequently, cause personal injury
or death.
MAAX is not liable for any costs, damages or claims resulting
from the purchase of products that do not fit through openings
or existing structures. MAAX is not liable for any costs, damages
or claims resulting from defects that could have been discov-
ered, repaired or avoided by inspection and testing prior to
installation.
MAAX is not liable for personal injuries or death to any person
or for any direct, special, incidental or consequential damage,
loss of time, loss of profits, inconvenience, incidental expenses,
labor or material charges, or any other costs resulting from the
use of the product or equipment or pertaining to the application
of the present warranty, or resulting from the removal or
replacement of any product or element or part covered by this
warranty.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED ABOVE, MAAX
MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR COMPLI-
ANCE WITH ANY CODE.
In any case, MAAX cannot be liable for any amount over and
above the purchase price paid for the product by the
owner/end-user, contractor or builder.
Commercial Limitations
In addition to the above conditions and limitations, the warran-
ty period for products installed for commercial applications or
used in commercial ventures is of one (1) year from the initial
date of purchase by the owner/end-user, contractor or builder
from an authorized dealer. MAAX is not responsible for loss of
use or profit under any circumstances. If the product is used as a
display, the warranty period begins when the product is placed
on display.
This warranty gives the owner/end-user specific legal rights.
The owner/end-user may also have other rights which vary
from one state and/or province to another.
Warranty service
In order to obtain service provided under this warranty during
regular business hours, contact the dealer or distributor who
sold the unit, or MAAX directly.
MAAX will provide the warranty service described above when
the following conditions have been met: the failure is of the
nature or type covered by the warranty; the user has informed
an authorized MAAX Agent or Warranty Service Department
representative of the nature of the problem during the warranty
period; conclusive evidence (e.g., proof of purchase or installa-
tion) is provided to the foregoing by the user proving that the
failure occurred or was discovered within the warranty period;
an authorized independent service person or company represen-
tative has been permitted to inspect the product during regular
business hours within a reasonable time after the problem was
reported by the user.
MAAX’s warranty obligation shall be discharged upon tender of
replacement or repair. The customer’s refusal to accept the ten-
der terminates MAAX’s warranty obligation.
