Under 

HHT

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

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

’s obligation under this warranty does not extend to damages resulting from (1) installation, operation or 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 caused by tight sealing
construction of the structure, air handling devices such as exhaust fans or forced air furnaces, or other causes;  (5) use of fuels other than
those specified in the Operating Instructions; (6) installation or use of components not supplied with the Fireplace or any other components
not expressly authorized and approved by 

HHT

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

HHT

B.

During the first year of the Limited Warranty,

 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),

for freight or labor costs related to the shipment of the parts or the actual repair or replacement.  After the fifth anniversary of the
Installation date,

HHT

In

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