forth herein. For purchases of Chaney products, Chaney 

provides the benefits and services set forth herein.

We warrant that all products we manufacture under this 

warranty are of good material and workmanship and, when 

properly installed and operated, will be free of defects for a 

period of one year from the date of purchase. 
Any product which, under normal use and service, is proven

from date of sale will, upon examination by us, and at our sole 

option, be repaired or replaced by us. Transportation costs and 

charges for returned goods shall be paid for by the purchaser. 

We hereby disclaim all responsibility for such transportation 

costs and charges. This warranty will not be breached, and we

been damaged (including by acts of nature), tampered,

Remedy for breach of this warranty is limited to repair or

the amount of the original purchase price.

THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED WARRANTY IS THE SOLE WARRANTY 

FOR THE PRODUCTS AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER 

WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES 

OTHER THAN THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH HEREIN 

ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, INCLUDING WITHOUT 

LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY 

AND THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR 

PURPOSE.

We expressly disclaim all liability for special, consequential, 

or incidental damages, whether arising in tort or by contract 

from any breach of this warranty. 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. 
We further disclaim liability from personal injury relating to 

our products to the extent permitted by law. By acceptance of 

any of our products, the purchaser assumes all liability for the 

consequences arising from their use or misuse. No person, firm 

or corporation is authorized to bind us to any other obligation 

or liability in connection with the sale of our products. 

Furthermore, no person, firm or corporation is authorized 

to modify or waive the terms of this warranty unless done in 

writing and signed by a duly authorized agent of ours. 
In no case shall our liability for any claim relating to our 

products, your purchase or your use thereof, exceed the 

original purchase price paid for the product.

Additionally, this Policy applies only to the original purchaser 

of our products. We cannot and do not offer any return, 

refund, or warranty services if you buy products used or from
