Broan-NuTone LLC (the “Company”) warrants to the original
consumer purchaser of its product (“you”) that the product (the “Product”) will be free from material
defects in the Product or its workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the date of original
purchase.
The limited warranty period for any replacement parts provided by the Company and for any Products
repaired or replaced under this limited warranty shall be the remainder of the original warranty period.
This warranty does not cover speed controls, fluorescent lamp starters, tubes, halogen and

that may be purchased separately and installed with the Product. This warranty also does not cover
(a) normal maintenance and

This warranty supersedes all prior warranties and is not transferable from the original consumer
purchaser.
No Other Warranties:
This Limited Warranty contains the Company’s sole obligation and your
sole remedy for defective products. The foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of any other
warranties, express or implied.
THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS
WARRANTIES, AND DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties, the duration of any
applicable implied warranty is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not
apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the sole purpose of identifying it and
shall not be construed as an express warranty.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to
be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision is held to be prohibited or invalid, such
provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the other remaining provisions of the Limited Warranty.
Remedy:
During the applicable limited warranty period, the Company will, at its option, provide
replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Product or part thereof, to the extent
the Company finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited warranty under normal use and
service. The Company will ship the repaired or replaced Product or replacement parts to you at no
charge. You are responsible for all costs for removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or other
freight charges incurred in the shipment of the Product or part to the Company. If you must send the
Product or part to the Company, as instructed by the Company, you must properly pack the Product
or part—the Company is not responsible for damage in transit. The Company reserves the right to
utilize reconditioned, refurbished, repaired or remanufactured Products or parts in the warranty repair
or replacement process. Such Products and parts will be comparable in function and performance to
an original Product or part and warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.
Exclusion of Damages: THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS, OR
REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT THE COMPANY’S OPTION, SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE COMPANY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
OBLIGATION. THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT, ITS USE OR
PERFORMANCE.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
This warranty covers only replacement or repair of defective Products or parts thereof at the
Company’s main facility and does not include the cost of field service travel and living expenses.
Any assistance the Company provides to or procures for you outside the terms, limitations or
exclusions of this limited warranty will not constitute a waiver of such terms, limitations or exclusions,
nor will such assistance extend or revive the warranty.
The Company will not reimburse you for any expenses incurred by you in repairing or replacing any
defective Product, except for those incurred with the Company’s prior written permission.
