this warranty in its entirety will complete registration.  In the event of a claim, proof of purchase is required, i.e.:
invoice and receipt.  Such invoice and receipt should state the exact model that was purchased; and

3. Only for the duration of the Lifetime of the floor covering under which it was originally installed if the purchaser of the

4. Only if the heater has been grounded and protected by a GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTOR (GFCI) at all times.

COVERAGE

1) The warranty period begins on the date of purchase.  Registration is effective only when a letter of confirmation is sent
by Warmup, Inc.

2) Warmup’s Undertile Heater is guaranteed by WARMUP, INC. (“Warmup”) to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use and maintenance for thirty (30) years, provided the Product is installed in accordance with
