The Sierra

 

Limited Warranty extends to the original purchaser of the system.  This warranty covers all parts and factory labor needed

to repair any Manufacturer-supplied item that proves to be defective in material, workmanship or factory preparation.  The above-

mentioned warranty applies for the first full calender year from date of purchase.  These defective items are subject to the following

exclusions: membranes, filters, O-rings, and all other parts or components that require regular replacement as a result of ordinary usage.

Disclaimers  

This Warranty applies only if the system is installed and used in compliance with the instructions enclosed with the system.

The Warranty does not cover any non-standard Sierra parts.  This Warranty does not cover the costs of repairs or adjustments to the unit

that may be needed because of the use of improper parts, equipment or materials.  This Warranty does not cover repairs required due

to use of non-standard Sierra parts, unauthorized alterations of the unit, or failure of a unit caused by such alterations or by unauthorized

repairs.

The Warranty does not cover malfunctions of the unit due to tampering, misuse, alteration, lack of regular maintenance, misapplication,

fouling due to hydrogen sulfide or iron, scaling from excessive hardness, or excessive membrane hydrolysis due to chlorine levels in

excess of 1.0 mg/L.  In addition, damage to the unit due to fire, accident, negligence, act of God, or events beyond the control of the

Manufacturer are not covered by this warranty.

Incidental and Consequential Damages  

The Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for payment of incidental and consequential

damages as a result of the failure of this unit to comply with express or implied warranties, such as lost time, inconvenience, damage to

personal property, loss of revenue, commercial losses, postage, travel, telephone expenditures, or other losses of this nature.  Some states

do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion may not apply to you.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities  

Under the provisions of the Warranty, the owner is expected to schedule maintenance, as described

in this Manual.  Neglect, improper maintenance, abuse, or unapproved modifications may invalidate the Warranty.  Should your unit

develop a defect or otherwise fail to perform in accordance with this warranty, you should contact the dealer from whom the product

was originally purchased.

Implied Warranties

 The implied at-law warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose shall terminate on the date one

year after the date of purchase.  Note: some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations

may not apply to you.

Other Rights 

This Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
