1. 

EZ-ACCESS

®

, a division of Homecare Products, Inc., (herein referred to as Manufacturer), warrants that the 

equipment shall be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of 3-
years from the date of original purchase. This limited warranty applies to the original purchaser only and is non-
transferable. This limited warranty is applicable to defective metal structure components only (excludes powder 
coated finish, applied non-skid tread, etc.) No part of this warranty will apply to any equipment which has been 
subject to misuse, vandalism, negligence, alteration, improper loads, accident, improper installation, or which has 
been repaired outside Manufacturer’s place of business in any way as in the reasonable judgment of Manufacturer, 
to adversely affect its performance and reliability, nor to normal deterioration due to wear, tear and exposure, 
corrosion, or damage caused by rain, fire, earthquake or other natural causes or acts of nature. 

2. 

Manufacturer’s obligation and purchaser’s sole remedy under this warranty is limited to, at Manufacturer’s option, 
repairing or replacing equipment which is returned to its place of business and which, upon examination, shall 
disclose to Manufacturer’s reasonable satisfaction to have been defective. Manufacturer will make the repair or 
replacement of defective components at its own expense.  If Purchaser discovers a defect, he/she must call 
Manufacturer at 253-249-1101 to request a Return Authorization (RA) to return the merchandise to Manufacturer. 

3. 

If Manufacturer determines, in its sole discretion, to replace the equipment with either a new or repaired unit, 
purchaser shall be responsible for a charge prorated on the following basis: The purchaser will be allowed a credit 
against the purchase price of equivalent equipment at the time of return to Manufacturer, in proportion to the 
percentage of the warranted service life remaining at the time of such return. Purchaser will be responsible to pay 
the balance of the purchase price of equivalent equipment. Manufacturer reserves the right to require payment prior 
to delivery of the repaired/replaced equipment. In calculating available credit, the remaining warranted service life 
will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole year. YEARS 0-1: Unit repaired or replaced; YEARS 1-2: Repair or 
50% $ credit (current purchase price multiplied by credit percentage); YEARS 2-3: Repair or 25% $ credit (current 
purchase price multiplied by credit percentage). This limited warranty does not cover removal or reinstallation.  
Manufacturer reserves the right to require Purchaser to pay for all shipping charges (Government purchases 
exempt). 

4. 

DISCLAIMER: THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES CONTAINED HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF 
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY 
ARISING UNDER ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, 
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. HOWEVER, THAT IF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED IN 
ANY TERRITORY WHERE A PRODUCT IS SOLD, THE DURATION OF SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED 
TO THE DURATION OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY DESCRIBED IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH.  

5. 

MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR 
OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL 
DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE EQUIPMENT, OR ARISING 
OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, EVEN IF MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF 
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE SOLE REMEDY FOR A BREACH OF THE FOREGOING LIMITED 
WARRANTY IS REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE OR NON-CONFORMING EQUIPMENT OR PART. THE 
MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF MANUFACTURER UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE 
OF THE EQUIPMENT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.  

6. 

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. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights 
which may vary from State to State. Manufacturer reserves the right to change or improve its products without any 
obligation to change or improve any Product previously manufactured by it.
