Hearth & Home Technologies LLC  

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

Hearth & Home Technologies LLC (“HHT”) extends the following warranty for HHT gas, wood, pellet and electric hearth appliances 

(each a “Product” and collectively, the “Product(s)”) and certain component parts set forth in the table below (“Component Part(s)”) 

that are purchased from a HHT authorized dealer or distributor.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:

HHT warrants that the Products and their Component Parts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the applicable 

period  of  Warranty coverage set forth  in  the table  below (“Warranty Period”).  If  a Product  or Component Parts are found  to  be 

defective in materials or workmanship during the applicable Warranty Period, HHT will, at its option, repair the applicable Component 

Part(s), replace the applicable Component Part(s), or refund the purchase price of the applicable Product(s). The maximum amount 

recoverable under this Warranty is limited to the purchase price of the Product. This Warranty is transferable from the original purchaser 

to subsequent owners, but the Warranty Period will not be extended in duration or expanded in coverage for any such transfer. This 

Warranty is subject to conditions, exclusions, and limitations as described below.   

WARRANTY PERIOD:

Warranty coverage begins at the date of installation. In the case of new home constructions, Warranty coverage begins on the date of 

first occupancy of the dwelling or six months after the sale of the Product(s) by an independent, authorized HHT dealer or distributor, 

whichever occurs earlier. However, the Warranty coverage shall commence no later than 24 months following the date of Product 

shipment from HHT, regardless of the installation or occupancy date. 

The term “Lifetime” in the table below is defined as: 20 years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for gas appliances, and 10 

years from the beginning date of warranty coverage for wood and pellet appliances. These time periods reflect the minimum expected 

useful lives of the designated Component Parts under normal operating conditions.
