The Warranty

The Companies warrants the Montigo Gas Appliance to be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of manufacture. On the Montigo, there is a 
ten-year warranty on the firebox and its components, a five-year warranty on the main burner and pilot burner, and a one-year warranty on the gas control valve 
and fibre logs. Glass, plated/painted finishes, and refractory lining are exempt.

Remedy And Exclusions

The coverage of this Warranty is limited to all components of the Gas Appliance manufactured by The Companies.
This Warranty only covers Montigo Gas Appliances installed in the United States or Canada.
If the components of the Gas Appliance covered by this Warranty are found to be defective within the time frame stated (see The Companies right of investigation 
outlined below). The Companies will, at its option, replace or repair defective components of the Gas Appliance manufactured by The Companies at no charge, 
and will also pay for reasonable labour costs incurred in replacing or repairing components. If repair or replacement is not commercially practical, The Companies 
will, at its option, refund the purchase price of the Montigo Gas Appliance. 
This Warranty covers only parts and labour as provided above. In no case shall The Companies be responsible for materials, components, or construction which 
are not manufactured or supplied by The Companies, or for the labour necessary to install, repair or remove such materials, components or construction. All 
replacement or repair components will be shipped F.O.B. the nearest The Companies factory. 

Qualifications To The Warranty

The Gas Appliance Warranty outlined above is further subject to the following qualifications:
(1)  The Gas Appliance must be installed in accordance with The Companies installation instructions and local building codes. The Warranty on this Montigo Gas 

Appliance covers only the component parts manufactured by The Companies. The use of components manufactured by others with this Montigo Gas Appli-
ance could create serious safety hazards, may result in the denial of certification by recognized national safety agencies, and could be in violation of local 
building codes. This warranty does not cover any damages occurring from the use of any components not manufactured or supplied by The Companies 

(2)  The Montigo Gas Appliance must be subjected to normal use. The Gas Appliances are designed to burn gas only. Burning conventional fireplace fuels such 

as wood, coal or any other solid fuel will cause damage to the Gas Appliance, will produce excessive temperatures and will result in a fire hazard.

Limitations On Liability

It is expressly agreed and understood that The Companies sole obligation, and purchaser's exclusive remedy under this Warranty, under any other warranty, 
expressed or implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as specified above.
In no event shall The Companies be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in its products, whether such damage occurs 
or is discovered before or after replacement or repair, and whether or not such damage is caused by The Companies negligence. Some states do not allow the 
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The duration of any implied warranty 
with respect to this Montigo Gas Appliance is limited to the duration of the foregoing warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty 
lasts, so the above may not apply to you.

above.
