HOFFER FLOW CONTROLS, INC. ("HFC") warrants HFC's Precision Series, API Series and 

CT Series of turbine flowmeters  to be free from defects in material and workmanship under 

normal use and service, only if such goods have been properly selected for the service intended, 

properly installed and properly operated and maintained as described in the turbine flowmeter 

manual. Reference "turbine flowmeter manual" for specific details. This warranty shall extend 

for a period of five (5) years from the date of shipment to the original purchaser and covers the 

Precision Series, API Series, and CT Series of flowmeters supplied with their standard hybrid 

ceramic ball bearings only. All other HFC products carry a one (1) year warranty. This warranty 

is extended only to the original purchaser ("Purchaser"). 

Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy 

is the repair and/or replacement of nonconforming goods as provided in the following 

paragraphs.  

 

In the event Purchaser believes the Hoffer product is defective, the product must be returned to 

HFC, transportation prepaid by Purchaser, within the appropriate warranty period relative to the 

product. If HFC's inspection determines that the workmanship or materials are defective and the 

required maintenance has been performed and, has been properly installed and operated, the 

product will be either repaired or replaced, at HFC's sole determination, free of additional 

charge, and the goods will be returned, transportation paid by HFC, using a transportation 

method selected by HFC.  

 

Prior to returning the product to HFC, Purchaser must obtain a Returned Material Authorization 

(RMA) Number from HFC's Customer Service Department within 30 days after discovery of a 

purported breach of warranty, but not later than the warranty period; otherwise, such claims 

shall be deemed waived. See the Return Requests/inquiries Section of this manual.  

 

If HFC's inspection reveals the Hoffer product to be free of defects in material and workmanship 

or such inspection reveals the goods were improperly used, improperly installed, and/or 

improperly selected for service intended, HFC will notify the purchaser in writing and will 

deliver the goods back to Purchaser upon receipt of Purchaser's written instructions and 

agreement to pay the cost of transportation. If Purchaser does not respond within thirty (30) 

days after notice from HFC, the goods will be disposed of in HFC's discretion.  

 

HFC does not warrant the product to meet the requirements of any safety code of any state, 

municipality, or other jurisdiction, and Purchaser assumes all risk and liability whatsoever 

resulting from the use thereof, whether used singlely or in combination with other machines or 

apparatus.  

 

This warranty shall not apply to any HFC product or parts thereof, which have been repaired 

outside HFC's factory or altered in any way, or have been subject to misuse, negligence, or 

accident, or have not been operated in accordance with HFC's printed instructions or have been 

operated under conditions more severe than, or otherwise exceeding, those set forth in the 

specifications.
