Warranty 

 

The  Genesis  DPV  and  battery  charger  have  a  1  year  limited  warranty  on  all  materials  and 
workmanship  provided  by  Nellis  Engineering  Inc,  when  used  for  their  intended  purposes  under 
normal conditions, with the following exceptions. 

 

1.  The batteries have a one year warranty on materials and workmanship from date of  
     delivery.  The battery warranty does not cover abuse, neglect or operator error. 

 

2.  Damage from flooding of the DPV due the failure of o-ring(s) that are serviceable by the  
     owner or from damage to the DPV structure, is not covered under this warranty.  All DPVs  
     pass an extensive pressure and vacuum leak test before shipping to ensure they are leak  
     free when delivered from the factory.    

 

3.  The battery charger is not covered for water damage. 

 

4.  Structural or cosmetic damage from abuse or corrosion is not covered.   

 

5.  Damage from modification, or attempted modification. 

 

6.  Damage from servicing by unauthorized individuals. 

      

7.  Nellis Engineering, Inc. will not be liable for any loss, damages or expenses, to include  
     incidental, special, consequential or collateral damages, arising directly or indirectly
