SETUR TURBINES

LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

The company warrants to the original consumer purchaser of a SETUR turbine that it will, at its option, repair or replace such product, if it is found by the company, in its sole judgment, to be defective under normal residential use, provided that it has been installed and maintained in accordance with the company’s instructions. This limited warranty applies only to the initial installation and is not transferable from the original consumer purchaser. This limited warranty covers only normal use of the product against defects in material or workmanship for parts only for as long as the original consumer purchaser owns the product.

In the event of a limited warranty claim, proof of purchase will be required – save sales receipt.

This warranty extends only to products purchased directly from the company or its authorized agents and distributors.

This limited warranty does not apply to commercial installations. The warranty for commercial installations is five (5) years.

The company will provide free of charge, at it’s sole option, replacement part(s) or product (or if no longer available, a comparable product) to replace those which have proven defective in materials or workmanship.

The product owner is responsible for the payment, at current rates, for any service or repair outside the scope of this limited warranty.
