Product, is your proof of purchase, and may be required by Ironman

warranty record exists for the product.           

Exclusive Remedies

                                                                                                       

During the warranty period listed above, Ironman will repair a 
Product by correcting any minor issues (either by phone or online 
support) that might be causing the Product failure. Should a 

technical service and support representative be unable to correct 
the issue, Ironman may replace the parts (with new parts or at the 
option of Ironman, with serviceable used parts, that are equivalent 
to new parts in performance) that become defective, malfunction, or 

otherwise fail to conform to this Limited Warranty under normal use.   

Replacement parts shall be warranted for 30 days from the shipment 
reception date or through the end of the ‘replaced’ part warranty 
period, whichever is longer. Any replacement parts, required 

past

the warranty period

 listed above, shall be subject to purchase at 

retail price, plus any added shipping and handling charges associated 
to the delivery of the part. Note that replacement parts may be 
available only through the lifetime (as defined) of the Product. In 

conforming to this warranty, Ironman (as the manufacturer) 
reserves the right to change manufacturers or vendors of any part to 
cover the existing warranty.       

Ironman may also provide service (if deemed necessary and if 

applicable) at no charge to you during (and not to exceed) the 
service warranty period listed above, in an attempt to repair the 
Product. Should the Product require service at your request or out of 

the limited warranty period, Ironman can furnish contact information 
for local (to your area) Ironman authorized service providers. 
Service quotes, costs, and scheduling will be strictly dependent on 
service provider rates and mutual (consumer/provider) service 

agreements. Ironman is not responsible for any service repair costs 
accrued through the use of authorized Ironman service providers at 
your request or out of the limited warranty period (without written 
consent from Ironman), beyond the limitations outlined on this 

warranty.

If after a reasonable number of attempts, a defect has not been repaired (or 

the Product is deemed non-repairable by Ironman technical service and 
support staff), Ironman, based on a case by case review, may opt to replace 
the Product, or recommend an alternate resolution, such as a warranty 
buy-out (Product cost, subject to deduction of a reasonable charge for usage) 

or a credit. Ironman, as a manufacturer, reserves the right to replace the 
Product with a Factory-Reconditioned Product that meets or exceed 
standards comparable to those of the replaced Product. 

The warranty covering the replacement Product shall expire on the 
date the original warranty for the replaced Product would have expired, 

unless otherwise determined by Ironman.
