3-YEAR FULL WARRANTY ON SEPARATELY SOLD CUPS AND COMPONENTS
1.
WHAT IS COVERED.
Vita-Mix Corporation (“Vitamix”) warrants that accessory parts (collectively and
individually referred to as “Component”) that is purchased separately from an
immersion blender will be free from defects in material or workmanship and
will withstand wear and tear from ordinary household use for 3 years from the
date of purchase. Vitamix will, within 30 days of receipt of the returned product,
repair the failed Component free of charge. If, in Vitamix’s sole discretion, the
failed Component cannot be repaired, Vitamix will elect to either (A) replace the
Component free of charge or (B) refund the full purchase price to the owner,
unless Vitamix receives prior written notice of the owner’s preference.
2.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED.
This Warranty applies only to owners for ordinary household use. This Warranty
does not cover cosmetic changes that do not affect performance, such as
discoloration or the effects of the use of abrasives or cleaners or food build up.
This Warranty is only valid if the Component is used in accordance with the
instructions, warnings and safeguards contained in the owner’s manual.
Grinding certain herbs and spices will result in cosmetic marring of the
workbowl and may cause the blades to wear prematurely. Traces of sand,
coarse gritty and abrasive herbs will also cause the blades to wear prematurely.
Herbs may contain volatile oils, cause the workbowl to retain the oils and cause
permanent discoloration. Your workbowl and blade assembly are not covered
under the Vitamix warranty under these circumstances.
Vitamix will not be responsible for the cost of any unauthorized warranty repairs.
REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE ARE THE
EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF PURCHASER AND THE SOLE LIABILITY OF
VITAMIX UNDER THIS WARRANTY. NO EMPLOYEE OR REPRESENTATIVE
OF VITAMIX IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL WARRANTY OR
ANY MODIFICATION TO THIS WARRANTY WHICH MAY BE BINDING UPON
VITAMIX. ACCORDINGLY, PURCHASER SHOULD NOT RELY UPON ANY
ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS MADE BY ANY EMPLOYEE OR REPRESENTATIVE
OF VITAMIX. IN NO EVENT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, INDEMNITY,
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR
OTHERWISE, SHALL VITAMIX BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE.
Some states do not allow limits on warranties. In such states, the above limitations
may not apply to you. Outside the U.S.A. and Canada, other warranties may
apply.
3.
WHAT VOIDS THIS WARRANTY.
Abuse, misuse, negligent use, alteration of the Component, exposure to abnormal
or extreme conditions, or failure to follow the operating instructions, will void this
Warranty.
The Warranty is also void if repairs to the Component is performed by someone
other than Vitamix or an authorized Vitamix Service Provider or if any part
subject to this Warranty is used in combination with products that are not
expressly authorized by Vitamix.
