Warranty

Limited Warranty

Each machine manufactured by VACTOR/GUZZLER MANUFACTURING (or, "the Company") is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of 12 months, provided the machine is used in a normal and reasonable manner and in accordance with all operating instructions. In addition, certain machines and components of certain machines have extended warranties as set forth below. If sold to an end user, the applicable warranty period commences from the date of delivery to the end user. If used for rental purposes, the applicable warranty period commences from the date the machine is first made available for rental by the Company or its representative. This limited warranty may be enforced by any subsequent transferee during the warranty period. This limited warranty is the sole and exclusive warranty given by the Company.

Exclusive Remedy

Should any warranted product fail during the warranty period, the Company will cause to be repaired or replaced, as the Company may elect, any part or parts of such machine that the Company's examination discloses to be defective in material or factory workmanship. Repairs or replacements are to be made at the selling Vactor/Guzzler distributor's location or at other locations approved by the Company. In lieu of repair or replacement, the Company may elect, at its sole discretion, to refund the purchase price of any product deemed defective. The foregoing remedies shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of any party making a valid warranty claim.

This Limited Warranty shall not apply to (and the Company shall not be responsible for):

  1. Major components or trade accessories that have a separate warranty from their original manufacturer, such as, but not limited to, trucks, engines, hydraulic pumps and motors, tires and batteries.
  2. Normal adjustments and maintenance services.
  3. Normal wear parts such as, but not limited to, oils, fluids, vacuum hose, light bulbs, fuses and gaskets.
  4. Failures resulting from the machine being operated in a manner or for a purpose not recommended by the Company.
  5. Repairs, modifications or alterations without the express written consent of the Company, which in the Company's sole judgment, have adversely affected the machine's stability, operation or reliability as originally designed and manufactured.
  6. Items subject to misuse, negligence, accident or improper maintenance.

*NOTE* The use in the product of any part other than parts approved by the Company may invalidate this warranty. The Company reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, if the use of non-approved parts operates to invalidate the warranty. Nothing contained in this warranty shall make the Company liable for loss, injury, or damage of any kind to any person or entity resulting from any defect or failure in the machine.

THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ALL OF WHICH ARE DISCLAIMED.

This warranty is in lieu of all other obligations or liabilities, contractual and otherwise, on the part of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of use or lost profits. The Company makes no representation that the machine has the capacity to perform any functions other than as contained in the Company's written literature, catalogs or specifications accompanying delivery of the machine. No person or affiliated company representative is authorized to alter the terms of this warranty, to give any other warranties or to assume any other liability on behalf of the Company in connection with the sale, servicing or repair of any machine manufactured by the Company. Any legal action based hereon must be commenced within eighteen (18) months of the event or facts giving rise to such action.

The Company reserves the right to make design changes or improvements in its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to change or improve previously manufactured products.
