LIMITED WARRANTY
Vertex Water Products (“Manufacturer”) sell its products through independent retailer dealers (“Dealer”)
who re-sell to the end-user customer. In this limited warranty, “Vertex” refers to Vertex Water Products and
not to the Dealer.
WHO IS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY
This limited warranty covers only the first purchaser of the Vertex PureWaterCooler™ from a Dealer for
use by that purchaser, and is not transferrable. “Consumer Use” means personal residential household use
by a consumer or consumers. “Commercial Use” means all other uses, including (but not limited to) use for
commercial, income producing purposes and/or when purchased by a business and/or when purchased for use
in an office, business, or industrial setting. “Purchaser” means the end-user customer, and not a Vertex re-seller
Dealer.
PERIOD OF COVERAGE OF THIS WARRANTY
Manufacturer warrants the complete water cooler (“the unit”) against defects in material and workmanship,
subject to the exclusions described below, for a period of ONE YEAR, beginning on the later of either
(a) the date of purchase or (b) the date of manufacture as identified by the Vertex unit’s serial number.
Manufacturer additionally warrants the compressor for a period of THREE YEARS from the above date.
The purchaser must provide the original sales receipt as proof of the date of purchase. If the purchaser is
unable to produce the original sales receipt, the Warranty Period commencement date will be determined
by Manufacturer, in its sole and absolute discretion, based upon the unit’s serial number. This warranty
does not apply if the original serial number affixed by Manufacturer is removed, defaced, altered, obscured,
tampered with, or obliterated. If Manufacturer provides a replacement part or parts, or repairs a part or
parts, under this limited warranty, then the replacement part(s) or repaired part(s) will be covered under this

or replaced.

ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY AND

warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to purchaser.
