(the “Product”), will be free from manufacturing defects in 

materials and workmanship under normal authorized use consistent with product instructions for a period of 

one (1) year from the date the original purchaser 

(“Customer”) receives the Product (the “Warranty Period”). 

This warranty extends only to the original purchaser. The C

ustomer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the 

entire liability of Windy Nation, its suppliers and affiliates for breach of the warranty is, at Windy Nation’s 

option, either (i) to replace the Product (or defective component part(s)) with a new or reconditioned Product 

(or component part(s)); (ii) to repair the reported problem; or (iii) to refund the purchase price of the Product. 

Repaired or replaced products are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period only. No
