All La Marche Manufacturing Co. equipment has been thoroughly tested and found to be in proper operating

condition  upon  shipment  from  the  factory  and  is  warranted  to  be  free  from  any  defect  in  workmanship  and

material that may develop within  one year from date of purchase.   In addition to the standard  one (1)  year

warranty, La Marche warrants its magnetics and power diodes on a parts replacement basis only for nine (9)

more years under normal use.
Any part or parts of the equipment (except protective devices, DC connectors and other wear-related items) that

prove defective within a one (1) year period shall be replaced without charge providing such defect, in our opinion,

is  due  to  faulty  material  or  workmanship  and  not  caused  by  tampering,  abuse, misapplication  or  improper

installation.  Magnetics and power diodes are warranted for ten (10) years after date of purchase.  During the

last nine (9) years of this ten (10) year warranty period, the warranty covers parts replacement only, no labor or

other services are provided by La Marche, nor is La Marche obligated to reimburse the owner or any other person

for work performed.
Should a piece of equipment require major component replacement or repair during warranty period, these can

be handled in one of three ways:

1. If the Purchaser elects to take the responsibility of repairing the equipment and requests replacement part(s), Purchaser

or Sales Representative must contact Factory for return authorization and a purchase order must be issued. Replacement

part(s) will be promptly shipped and invoiced. After the defective part(s) are returned and inspected at the Factory, if the

defect(s) were due to faulty material or workmanship, credit will be issued.

2. The  equipment  can  be  returned  to  the  La  Marche  factory to  have  the  inspections,  parts  replacements  and  testing

performed  by  factory  personnel.    Should  it  be  necessary  to  return  a  piece  of  equipment  or  parts  to  the  factory,  the

customer or sales representative must obtain authorization from the factory.  If upon inspection at the factory, the defect

was due to faulty material or workmanship, all repairs will be made at no cost to the customer during the first year. If the

Extended Warranty is purchased, the parts required for repair will also be at no cost but La Marche will notify the Purchaser

of the costs of Labor to replace the defective part(s). A Purchase Order to cover this labor is required before repairs will

be initiated.  Transportation charges or duties shall be borne by Purchaser.

3. If the purchaser elects not to return the equipment to the factory and wishes a factory service representative to make

adjustments and/or repairs at the equipment location, La Marche's field service labor rates will apply.  A purchase order

to cover the labor and transportation cost is required prior to the deployment of the service representative.

In accepting delivery of the equipment, the purchaser assumes full responsibility for proper installation, installation

adjustments  and  service  arrangements.    Should  minor  adjustments  be  required,  the  local  La  Marche  sales

representative should be contacted to provide this service only.
All sales are final.  Only standard La Marche chargers will be considered for return.  A 25% restocking fee is

charged when return is factory authorized.  Special chargers are not returnable.
In no event shall La Marche Manufacturing Co. have any liability for consequential damages, or loss, damage or

expense directly or indirectly arising from the use of the products, or any inability to use them either separately

or in combination with other equipment or materials, or from any other cause.  In addition, any alterations of

equipment made by anyone other than La Marche Manufacturing Co. renders this warranty null and void. Failure

to follow safety precautions specified by the manufacturer during replacement of components or verifications

renders this warranty null and void.
La  Marche  Manufacturing  Co.  reserves  the  right  to  make  revisions  in  current  production  of  equipment,  and

assumes no obligation to incorporate these revisions in earlier models.
The failure of La Marche Manufacturing Co. to object to provisions contained in customers' purchase orders or

other communications shall not be deemed a waiver of the terms or conditions hereof, nor acceptance of such

provisions.

THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE, SUPERSEDES AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,

EXPRESSED  OR  IMPLIED,  INCLUDING  ANY  IMPLIED  WARRANTY  OF  MERCHANTABILITY  OR

FITNESS.  NO PERSON, AGENT OR DEALER IS AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY WARRANTIES ON BEHALF

OF  THE  MANUFACTURER, OR  TO  ASSUME  FOR  THE  MANUFACTURER  ANY  OTHER  LIABILITY  IN

CONNECTION  WITH  ANY OF  ITS  PRODUCTS  UNLESS  MADE  IN  WRITING  AND  SIGNED  BY  AN

OFFICIAL OF THE MANUFACTURER.
