limitations of liability listed below.

Replacement Parts Advantage

Under 

HHT

’s Replacement Parts Advantage, for a period of twenty years from your Installation Date of your Fireplace, if available,

HHT

 shall have no responsibility for freight and labor charges related to such parts.

Conditions, Exclusions, & Limitations of Liability

A.

Both the Limited Warranty and Replacement Parts Advantage supplied by 

HHT

 apply only while the Fireplace is in its location of

original installation.  

HHT

maintenance of the Fireplace not in accordance with the Installation Instructions, Operating Instructions, and the Listing Agent Identification
Label furnished with the Appliance; (2) installation which does not comply with local building codes; (3) shipping, improper handling,
improper operation, abuse, misuse, accident or unworkmanlike repairs; (4) environmental conditions, inadequate ventilation or drafting

Fireplace or any other components not expressly authorized and approved by 

HHT

; and/or (7) modification of the Fireplace not expressly

B.

During the first year of the Limited Warranty, 

HHT

 will, at its sole option, repair or replace any covered defective component and will

provide replacement parts at no charge. And will pay reasonable labor and freight costs.  During the second through the fifth years of the
Limited Warranty (if applicable),

In no event shall HHT be liable for any incidental or consequential damages caused by defects in your Fireplace.
