Lifetime Limited Warranty

All products manufactured and sold by The Modern Fan Co. meet the highest industry 
standards. We use only the finest materials and production processes resulting in quality 
ceiling fans backed by the following warranty:

Motors (dry locations): .......................................................................................................Lifetime
Motors (damp locations): ................................................................................................10 years
Light Kits: ...............................................................................................................................3 years
Component Parts (switches, capacitors, blades): .........................................................1 year
Finishes: ...................................................................................................................................1 year
Wall and remote controls: ....................................................................................................1 year

Limitations:
• This warranty covers failure of fan due to defect(s) in materials or workmanship and  

does not apply to defects, malfunctions or failures which are caused by repairs by 
persons not authorized by us, use of parts or accessories not authorized by us, 
mishandling, improper installation, modifications or damage to the fan while in your 
possession, or unreasonable use.

• This warranty applies only to products sold and installed within the United States.
•  This warranty extends only to the original user or consumer purchaser of the ceiling fan.
• This warranty applies to private residential use of ceiling fans only. Use of products in 

commercial applications is backed by a 10-year “motor” warranty. All other aspects of 
this warranty remain the same.

•  This warranty only covers the replacement or repair of ceiling fan or parts as specified 

above, and does not cover any other costs incurred related to installation labor or  
equipment, or shipping of fan or fan parts.

• No other expressed warranty is given. The repair or replacement of a product is your 

exclusive remedy. Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness is limited to the dura-
tion of this written warranty. In no event shall the Company be liable for consequential or 
incidental damages. Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of consequential  
or incidental damages, so the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.

Claims:
Prior to submitting a claim for a defective or failed fan, or prior to removal of your fan from 
its installation location, please contact customer service (888-588-3267) for troubleshoot-
ing assistance. Often our personnel can diagnose the cause of a nonfunctioning fan and 
provide either operational instructions, or replacement parts/components that don’t require 
your fan be removed from the ceiling.
If we are unable to remedy the problem in this way, upon receipt of proof of purchase  
(including date and location of sale), we will provide the necessary replacement parts or 
fan as specified by this warranty, or provide instructions and an authorization for return  
of the product for diagnosis, repair or replacement.
