LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

Scope

APEC takes pride in selling a superb line of products, including this reverse osmosis system (“Product”).  As such, APEC expressly 
warrants to the original purchaser that, for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase, the Product will be reasonably free of 
defects in materials and workmanship.  Within that one (1) year period from the original purchase, APEC will, at its option, repair or 
replace the Product without charge, or refund the cost of the Product, if the Product fails or does not perform as warranted solely due 
to a manufacturing defect within the warranty period, subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Limited Product War-
ranty.  This Limited Product Warranty only applies when the Product is used, stored, handled, fabricated and/or installed in the manner 
recommended by APEC in the Installation Instruction & Owner’s Manual (“Manual”).

Repair or Replacement

Repair or replacement during this one (1) year warranty shall include reasonable labor charges necessary to repair or replace the de-
fective Product, but shall not include freight charges or any other local labor charges from third parties other than APEC, unless APEC 
expressly approves such charges in writing.  During the entire one (1) year warranty, APEC’s obligation to repair or replace shall further 
be limited to repair or replacement with the styles, models, products, colors, etc. of the Product that are available at the time of the 
repair or replacement, and shall be limited to the repair or replacement of only the specific Product that fails due to a manufacturing 
defect. Any repaired or replaced product shall also remain subject to the original one (1) year warranty from the date of the original 
purchase, and any repair or replacement shall not extend the original warranty period in any manner or start a new warranty period.
