Warranty Information
LIMITED WARRANTY
Nidec Motor Corporation (NMC) extends the following LIMITED WARRANTY to the purchaser and to its
customers (collectively referred to as the Purchaser ) of the enclosed motor and components: the motor
and components are free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, service and
maintenance FOR A PERIOD OF 24 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE FROM NMC
OR THE NMC DEALER/RETAILER, NOT TO EXCEED 30 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF
MANUFACTURE BY NMC. THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY GIVEN AND NO
OTHER WARRANTY IS PROVIDED, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION,
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CERTAIN ASPECTS OF
DISCLAIMERS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO CONSUMER PRODUCTS, i.e., motors and components
acquired by individuals and used for personal, family or household purposes (as distinguished from
industrial or other purposes). Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have
other rights which vary from state to state.
Certain repairs or services are the responsibility of the Purchaser and the Purchaser is expected to pay for
them. This warranty does not extend to any losses or damages due to misuse, accident, abuse, neglect,
negligence, unauthorized modification or alteration, use beyond rated capacity, or improper installation,
maintenance, application or use, including, without limitation, use in a manner contrary to the accompanying
instructions or applicable codes.
If within thirty (30) days after Purchaser's discovery of any warranty defects within the above stated warranty
period, Purchaser notifies NMC or the dealer from whom the motor was purchased in writing, NMC shall, at
its option and as Purchaser's exclusive remedy, repair or replace or refund the purchase price for that
portion of the motor and components found by NMC to be defective. Failure by Purchaser to give such
written notice within the applicable time period shall be deemed an absolute and unconditional waiver of
Purchaser s claim for such defects. Purchaser must write or call the dealer from whom the motor was
purchased for directions regarding the shipment of the motor, with freight prepaid by the Purchaser, to an
authorized service location for warranty service. If Purchaser is unable to contact the dealer to obtain
sufficient instructions regarding the handling of the motor, Purchaser should write NMC at the address
below, giving the motor model number, the dealer's name, address and number of dealer's invoice; and
describing the nature of the alleged defect. Arrangements for warranty service will then be made by NMC.
If the motor is damaged in transit, Purchaser should file a claim directly with the carrier.
IN NO EVENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER
BASED IN CONTRACT, INFRINGEMENT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER TORT OR
OTHERWISE), SHALL NIDEC'S LIABILITY TO PURCHASER OR ITS CUSTOMER EXCEED THE PRICE
PAID BY PURCHASER FOR THE SPECIFIC MOTOR OR OTHER GOODS PROVIDED BY GIVING RISE
TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION. IN NO EVENT SHALL NIDEC'S LIABILITY TO PURCHASER OR ITS
CUSTOMER EXTEND TO INCLUDE INCIDENTAL CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. WITH
RESPECT TO CONSUMER PRODUCTS, 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.
