WHAT THIS WARRANTY COVERS:

2. 

The limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the product and is not assignable or transferable to any 

subsequent purchaser. Only through a HEMC authorized Dealer the warranty can be transferred to the original end user. 

3. 

The housing, bellows and cosmetic parts shall be free of defects at the time of shipment and, therefore, shall not be covered 

under these limited warranty terms. 

4. 

Upon request from HEMC, the consumer must provide information to reasonably prove the date of purchase. 

5.

unauthorized modifications, unauthorized connections, unauthorized repair, misuse, neglect, abuse, accident, alteration, 
improper installation, or other acts which are not the fault of HEMC, including damage caused by shipping, blown fuses, spills 
of food or liquid. 

3. 

Alleged defect or malfunction of the product during the applicable limited warranty period not reported by the end user to

5. 

Damage resulting from use of non-HEMC approved accessories.

or otherwise, including, but not limited to any implied warranty of marketability or fitness for a particular use. 
 

WHAT HEMC WILL DO: 

HEMC will, at its sole discretion, either repair, replace or refund the purchase price of any unit that does not conform to this 
limited warranty. HEMC may choose at its discretion to use functionally equivalent reconditioned, refurbished or new units or 
parts.  
 

STATE LAW RIGHTS: 

THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY, IS LIMITED TO 
THE DURATION OF THE WARRANTY EXPRESSED HEREIN. HEMC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE USE OF THE 
PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, ARISING OUT OF THE USE 
OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING 
THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT. 
Some states do not allow the exclusive of limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an 
implied warranty lasts; these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and 
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
