ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY AND EXCLUSIONS  

TEMCO Fireplace Products, Inc., (hereafter, TEMCO) whose addresses are shown below, warrants to the original 
purchaser that its blower is free from defects in material or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of 
original purchase.  This warranty is a limited warranty only and subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth below. 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

 

If the original purchaser of a TEMCO Blower Kit believes that a part of the blower has failed during the period of one (1) 
year from the date of purchase due to a defect in material or workmanship, he should promptly return the part to the 
nearest TEMCO dealer or distributor with proof of purchase date.  If the original purchaser is unsure where the nearest 
dealer or distributor is located, then the purchaser should write TEMCO Fireplace Products, Inc., Warranty Division, at one 
of the addresses listed below to obtain such information.  If the TEMCO dealer or distributor is not able to resolve any 
claim under this warranty, then the purchaser shall direct the dealer or distributor to ship said part to TEMCO Fireplace 
Products, Inc., Warranty Division, at one of the addresses below.  All transportation cos ts must be paid by the purchaser 
both to and from the dealer, distributor or TEMCO and shipment from the dealer or distributor must be F.O.B. TEMCO.  
Proof of purchase date must accompany any such part delivered or shipped to the dealer or distributor or  TEMCO.  
Acceptance of any part shipped or delivered to any dealer, distributor or TEMCO shall not be construed as or deemed as 
an admission of any defect. 

Within a reasonable time from date of receipt of any part believed to be defective and proof of date or purchase, TEMCO 
shall inspect said part, and, if it should appear  - in TEMCO's sole judgment - that the part has failed during the period of 
one (1) year from date or original purchase due to a defect in material or workmanship, TEMCO will - at its option - either 
repair or replace the part at no cost to purchaser; however, any labor or other charges incurred in the removal or 
replacement of the part, as well as any delivery or shipping charge, will be the sole responsibility of purchaser. 

This warranty is not transferable in any manner by the original purchaser and is effective only if the part of TEMCO's 
blower is accompanied by proof of purchase within one (1) year of the date that a claim is made under this warranty.  

LIMITATIONS

 

(A) This warranty expires upon transfer of the blower or any part from the original purchaser to any other person or upon 

the expiration of one year from the date of original purchase, whichever occurs first. 

(B)TEMCO makes no warranty and assumes no responsibility whatsoever as to parts or accessories not manufactured by 

TEMCO, but you may have rights against the manufacturers of such parts and accessories under their warranties or the 
law of your jurisdiction.  TEMCO specifically makes no other warranties than contained herein and makes no warranties, 
representations and accepts no responsibility for the performance of any product which the blower assembly might be 
used with or attached to other than the fireplace model for which the blower is designed. 

(C)THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING 

THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR  PURPOSE.  NO PERSON IS 
AUTHORIZED BY US TO MAKE ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT WARRANTIES AND THE PURCHASER 
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS WERE MADE TO HIM OR RELIED UPON BY HIM WITH 
RESPECT TO THE WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THE PRODUCT.  SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE 
EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTY SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 

(D)TEMCO accepts no responsibility for damages or expenses resulting from failure to observe installation and operating 

instructions; in any case where the blower has been tampered with or altered in any fashion, or where, in the sole 
judgment of TEMCO, the blower has been damaged, misused or used in a negligent manner. 

?

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