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 inverters will be considered for return. A 25% restocking fee is
charged when return is factory authorized. Special inverters 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.
