STANDARD LIMITED WARRANTY
Except as set forth in an Extended Warranty, for twelve (12) months from the date of installation, but in no event more than
twenty-four (24) months from the date of manufacture, Franklin hereby warrants to the purchaser (“Purchaser”) of Franklin’s
products that, for the applicable warranty period, the products purchased will (i) be free from defects in workmanship
and material at the time of shipment, (ii) perform consistently with samples previously supplied and (iii) conform to the
specifications published or agreed to in writing between the purchaser and Franklin. This limited warranty extends only to
products purchased directly from Franklin. If a product is purchased other than from a distributor or directly from Franklin,
such product must be installed by a Franklin Certified Installer for this limited warranty to apply. This limited warranty is not
assignable or transferable to any subsequent purchaser or user.
a. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY, EXPRESS,
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR FRANKLIN’S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER,
INCLUDING BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE, UNLESS PROVIDED ON THE
FACE HEREOF OR IN A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT MADE PART OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, SHALL BE FOR THE
PURCHASE PRICE PAID TO FRANKLIN FOR THE NONCONFORMING OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT OR FOR THE REPAIR
OR REPLACEMENT OF NONCONFORMING OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, AT FRANKLIN’S ELECTION. ANY FRANKLIN
PRODUCT WHICH FRANKLIN DETERMINES TO BE DEFECTIVE WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD SHALL BE, AT
FRANKLIN’S SOLE OPTION, REPAIRED, REPLACED, OR A REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID. Some states
do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, therefore, the limitations and exclusions relating to the
products may not apply.
b. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE EXCLUSIONS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, FRANKLIN SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE TO THE PURCHASER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY AND ALL (i) INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
OR OTHER CHARGES, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING COSTS OF INSPECTION, TESTING, STORAGE, OR
TRANSPORTATION) OR (ii) DAMAGES, INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL DAMAGES, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT
DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST TIME AND LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES,
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER FRANKLIN IS OR IS SHOWN TO BE AT FAULT, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
THERE IS OR THERE IS SHOWN TO HAVE BEEN A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, NEGLIGENCE IN
MANUFACTURE OR DESIGN, OR A FAILURE TO WARN.
c. Franklin’s liability arising out of the sale or delivery of its products, or their use, whether based upon warranty contract,
negligence, or otherwise, shall not in any case exceed the cost of repair or replacement of the product and, upon
expiration of any applicable warranty period, any and all such liability shall terminate.
d. Without limiting the generality of the exclusions of this limited warranty, Franklin does not warrant the adequacy of
any specifications provided directly or indirectly by a purchaser or that Franklin’s products will perform in accordance
with such specifications. This limited warranty does not apply to any products that have been subject to misuse
(including use in a manner inconsistent with the design of the product), abuse, neglect, accident or improper installation
or maintenance, or to products that have been altered or repaired by any person or entity other than Franklin or its
authorized representatives.
e. Unless otherwise specified in an Extended Warranty authorized by Franklin for a specific product or product line, this
limited warranty does not apply to performance caused by abrasive materials, corrosion due to aggressive conditions or
improper voltage supply.
f. With respect to motors and pumps, the following conditions automatically void this limited warranty:
1. Mud or sand deposits which indicate that the motor has been submerged in mud or sand.
2. Physical damage as evidenced by bent shaft, broken or chipped castings, or broken or bent thrust parts.
3. Sand damage as indicated by abrasive wear of motor seals or splines.
4. Lightning damage (often referred to as high voltage surge damage).
5. Electrical failures due to the use of non-approved overload protection.
6. Unauthorized disassembly.
