Warranty/Returns
Warranty
The Watlow Series 998 is warranted to be free of
defects in material and workmanship for 36 months
after delivery to the first purchaser for use, providing
that the units have not been misapplied. Since
Watlow has no control over their use, and some-
times misuse, we cannot guarantee against failure.
Watlow's obligations hereunder, at Watlow's option,
are limited to replacement, repair or refund of pur-
chase price, and parts which upon examination
prove to be defective within the warranty period
specified. This warranty does not apply to damage
resulting from transportation, alteration, misuse, or
abuse.
