Polaris After Dark Light Driver Limited Warranty

This limited warranty is extended to the original consumer purchaser of this Polaris After Dark light driver
manufactured by Polaris Pool Systems, Inc., 2620 Commerce Way, Vista, California 92083-8438, USA.

Polaris warrants the light driver it manufactures, including all parts and components thereof, to be free of
defects in material and workmanship. We do not cover improper installation of the Polaris After Dark light
driver or fiber optic cable but our instruction manual is complete enough to solve any problems — particularly
if it is read before, rather than after, the installation. If you have any questions regarding your Polaris After
Dark product, please feel free to call or write us. Be sure to include the serial number of your unit.

The warranty commences on the date of installation of the Polaris After Dark light driver. The Polaris After
Dark light driver parts are warranted for a period of one year. Polaris will not be responsible for any damage to
non-Polaris fiber optic cable. This Polaris After Dark light driver is designed to work only with genuine Polaris
fiber optic cable.

This limited warranty does not apply if the failure is caused by or contributed to any of the following: improper
handling, improper storage, winter freezing, abuse, improper installation, unsuitable application of the unit,
lack of reasonable and necessary maintenance, or repairs made or attempted by other than Polaris or one of
its Authorized Service Centers. Polaris will repair or replace, at its option, a unit or part proved to be defective
within the warranty period and under the conditions of the warranty.

Polaris is not responsible for the cost of removal of the unit or part, damages due to removal, or any other
expenses incurred in shipping the unit or part to or from the factory or its Authorized Service Centers, or the
installation of the repaired or replacement unit. The consumer must bear these expenses.

This warranty does not cover repair or replacement of a unit or part except at our factory or a Polaris
Authorized Service Center.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, AND ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY BE IMPOSED BY STATE CONSUMER LAW. ANY SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTY
IMPOSED BY STATE CONSUMER LAW IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO ONE (1) YEAR FROM DATE OF
PURCHASE.IN NO EVENT SHALL POLARIS BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND OR FOR DAMAGES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

This limited warranty is valid only in the United States of America, Canada and Australia, and it does not apply
to Polaris After Dark light drivers sold or installed in any other country.
