Warranty
Products manufactured by Seller are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for twelve (12) months
from date of shipment thereof to Customer, and Seller’s liability under valid warranty claims is limited, at the option of
Seller, to repair, replacement, or refund an equitable portion of the purchase price of the Product. Items expendable in
normal use are not covered by this warranty. All warranty replacement or repair of parts shall be limited to equipment
malfunctions which, in the sole opinion of Seller, are due or traceable to defects in original materials or workmanship.
All obligations of Seller under this warranty shall cease in the event of abuse, accident, alteration, misuse, or neglect of
the equipment. In-warranty repaired or replaced parts are warranted only for the remaining unexpired portion of the
original warranty period applicable to the repaired or replaced parts. After expiration of the applicable warranty period,
Customer shall be charged at the then current prices for parts, labor, and transportation.
When products are used with toxic chemicals, or in an atmosphere that is dangerous to the health of humans, or is
environmentally unsafe, it will be the responsibility of the Customer to have the product cleaned by an independent
agency skilled and approved in handling and cleaning contaminated materials before the product will be accepted by
Vacuum Technologies for repair and/or replacement.

use of its Products other than in accordance with proper operating procedures.
Except as stated herein, Seller makes no warranty, express or implied (either in fact or by operation of law), statutory or
otherwise; and, except as stated herein, Seller shall have no liability under any warranty, express or implied (either in
fact or by operation of law), statutory or otherwise. Statements made by any person, including representatives of Seller,
which are inconsistent or in conflict with the terms of this warranty shall not be binding upon Seller unless reduced to
