2 YEAR Limited Warranty 

The sinewave inverter manufactured by Samlex Europe B.V. ( the “ Warrantor “ )
is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use and 
service. This warranty is in effect for 2 years from the date of purchase by the user 
( the “ Purchaser “)

For a warranty claim, the Purchaser should contact the place of purchase to obtain a 
Return Authorization Number. 

The defective part or unit should be returned at the Purchaser’s expense to the 
authorized location. A written statement describing the nature of the defect, the date 
of purchase, the place of purchase, and the Purchaser’s name, address and 
telephone number should also be included. 

If upon the Warrantor’s examination, the defect proves to be the result of defective 
material or workmanship, the equipment will be repaired or replaced at the Warrantor’s 
option without charge, and returned to the Purchaser at the Warrantor’s expense. 

No refund of the purchase price will be granted to the Purchaser, unless the Warrantor 
is unable to remedy the defect after having a reasonable number of opportunities to do so. 

Warranty service shall be performed only by the Warrantor. Any attempt to remedy the 
defect by anyone other than the Warrantor shall render this warranty void. There shall 
be no warranty for defects or damages caused by faulty installation or hook-up, abuse 
or misuse of the equipment including exposure to excessive heat, salt or fresh water 
spray, or water immersion. 

No other express warranty is hereby given and there are no warranties which extend 
beyond those described herein. This warranty is expressly in lieu of any other expressed 
or implied warranties, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for the 
ordinary purposes for which such goods are used, or fitness for a particular purpose, 
or any other obligations on the part of the Warrantor or its employees and representatives. 

There shall be no responsibility or liability whatsoever on the part of the Warrantor or its 
employees and representatives for injury to any persons, or damage to person or persons, 
or damage to property, or loss of income or profit, or any other consequential or resulting 
damage which may be claimed to have been incurred through the use or sale of the 
equipment, including any possible failure of malfunction of the equipment, or part there of. 

The Warrantor assumes no liability for incidental or consequential damages of any kind.
