AIR WIND TURBINE FIVE YEAR (5 YR.) - LIMITED WARRANTY 

Length of Limited Warranty and What is Covered 

Primus Wind Power Inc. ("Primus Wind Power") warrants to the original end-user purchaser (the 
"Customer") of the AIR Wind Turbine (the "Wind Turbine") that the Wind Turbine will be free from defects 
in factory supplied materials and factory workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the earliest to 
occur of the following dates: (i) date of the completed installation of the Wind Turbine if installed by an 
authorized Wind Power installer, or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date the Customer purchases the Wind 
Turbine (the "Warranty Period"). 

Purchase of the Wind Turbine constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Limited Warran-
ty. This Limited Warranty extends only to the Customer and may not be transferred if the Wind Turbine is 
sold. 

The Customer's sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Primus Wind Power, its dealers, sup-
pliers and affiliates under this Limited Warranty is, at Primus Wind Power's sole option, either (i) to repair 
free of charge the defective part or Wind Turbine, or (ii) exchange free of charge the defective part or 
Wind Turbine with a new or remanufactured part or Wind Turbine that is new or equivalent to new in 
performance and reliability and is at least functionally equivalent to the original part or Wind Turbine. 
Should the product prove to be irreparable, Primus Wind Power reserves the right to substitute an equiva-
lent product if available. Repaired, exchanged, or substituted Wind Turbine parts or products pursuant to 
this Limited Warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the Warranty Period subject to the re-
strictions, limitations, and exclusions of this Limited Warranty. 

Restrictions on Limited Warranty 

This Limited Warranty applies to the Wind Turbine only if the Customer follows the installation, mainte-
nance, and operation procedures outlined in the Wind Turbine's Owner's Manual. If Primus Wind Power 
determines that the claimed problem with the Wind Turbine is not due to a defect in Primus Wind Power's 
workmanship or materials, then the party requesting the warranty service shall be responsible for the 
costs of all necessary repairs performed and expenses incurred by Primus Wind Power. 

How to Register The Wind Turbine and Warranty Procedures 

Primus Wind Power strongly recommends registration of the Wind Turbine with the warranty registration 
materials provided with the product. The Customer is encouraged to return the warranty registration 
document included with this Limited Warranty within sixty (60) days of the start of the Warranty Period. A 
Customer may also visit http:// www.primuswindpower.com/maintenance-service/warranty1 / to register 
the Wind Turbine online. While submission of the warranty registration document does not reduce a 
Customer's eligibility to receive warranty service, the Customer will be required to provide proof of own-
ership and original purchase (including a copy of the original receipt) and date of purchase or installation 
satisfactory to Primus Wind Power prior to receiving    warranty services. 

 

All Customer warranty claims must be received by Primus Wind Power during the Warranty Period. For 
any problems with a Wind Turbine, please contact an Authorized Service Dealer ("ASD") or Primus 
Wind Power directly. To find a Primus Wind Power ASD close by or to report a claim to technical sup-
port, call Primus Wind Power at (303) 242-5820 Monday-Friday 8:00AM - 5:00 PM Mountain Standard 
Time. The ASD may be able to provide a possible solution and can also start the warranty claims pro-
cess. 

A warranty claim notification must include a description of the defect, the serial number of the Wind 
Turbine at issue, the original purchase date, and the name, address, and telephone number of the 
Customer requesting warranty service under this Limited Warranty. All claims for defect shall be 
deemed waived unless made in writing and delivered to Primus Wind Power during the Warranty 
Period and not later than thirty (30) days after discovery of the defect. Please retain all information 
and documents until the warranty issues are resolved. 

After Primus Wind Power is notified, Primus Wind Power representatives will make all reasonable 
efforts via phone and email to ascertain the nature of the problem to determine whether any part or 
the Wind Turbine is defective for purposes of coverage under this Limited Warranty. Other than nor-
mal communication carrier charges, there is no charge for such diagnosis. Any repair or replacement 
will be provided only after Primus Wind Power's diagnosis and its agreement regarding the defective 
condition. Certain diagnostic checks may be required to be performed by the Customer or designee at 
Primus Wind Power's representatives' request. 

If Primus Wind Power representatives determine that the Wind Turbine requires service and that 
Customer's service request constitutes a valid claim under this Limited Warranty, Primus Wind Power 
will provide warranty service, at Primus Wind Power's sole option, either (i) through an ASD, with 
service to be performed at the servicer's location; (ii) by sending replacement Wind Turbine or parts to 
the Customer or (iii) by providing the Customer with a Return Merchandise Authorization ("RMA") 
number to authorize the Customer to ship the defective Wind Turbine or Wind Turbine parts to Primus 
Wind Power for service. 

Any Wind Turbine/part(s)) requiring warranty repair shall be transported to Primus Wind Power at the 
Customer's expense and risk, including but not limited to proper packaging of the Wind Turbine/part
(s). Primus Wind Power will return to sender any Wind Turbine and/or part(s) that do not have a valid 
RMA number. Primus Wind Power will use all reasonable efforts to repair/replace the defective Wind 
Turbine and/or part(s). Repaired or replaced Wind Turbines and replacement parts will be delivered to 
the Customer at Primus Wind Power's expense.
