d) Diagnosis and inspection fees that do not result in eligible warranty

the use of add-on or modified parts.
These items will be covered for a period of
two years
from the date of the
original purchase. Viper warrants that: the components are designed, built
and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations adopted
by the EPA; that they are free from defects in material and workmanship
that could cause failure to the engine or other; and that the components
used are identical in all material respects to the engine described in the
manufacturer’s application for certification. The warranty period begins on
the date the engine is originally purchased.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR REQUIREMENTS
The owner is responsible for the proper use and maintenance of the engine.
Ardisam, Inc. recommends that all receipts and records covering the
performance of regular maintenance be retained in case questions arise. If
the engine is resold during the warranty period, the maintenance records
should be transferred to each subsequent owner. Ardisam, Inc. reserves
the right to deny warranty coverage if the engine has not been properly
maintained; however, Ardisam, Inc. may not deny warranty repairs solely
because of failure to keep maintenance records.
Normal maintenance replacement or repair of emission control devices
and systems may be performed by any repair establishment or individuals;
however, warranty repairs must be performed by an Ardisam authorized service
center. Any replacement parts or service that is equivalent in performance and
durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not
reduce the warranty obligations of the engine manufacturer.
The warranty on emissions-related parts is as follows:
• Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty
period stated above. If any such part fails during the period of warranty
coverage, that part will be repaired or replaced at no charge to the owner.
Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty will be warranted for
the remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the
owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the warranty period. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the
remaining warranty period.
• Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the owner’s manual supplied, is warranted for the period of
time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part
fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part will be repaired or
replaced at no charge to the owner. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty will be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for the part.
• Add on or modified parts that are not exempted by the Air Resources
Board may not be used. The use of any nonexempted add on or modified
parts by the owner will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. The
manufacturer will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts
caused by the use of a nonexempted add on or modified part.
