Warranty

AutoPilot Warranty Summary Effective May 2006

The purchaser ("Customer") has purchased a "Pool Pilot" Water Purification System ("Unit") for use in swimming pool environments only.

The Unit manufacturer, AutoPilot Systems, Inc., St. Petersburg, FL USA ("Manufacturer"), hereby provides a limited warranty to Customer as follows:

FOR RESIDENTIAL AUTOPILOT PRODUCTS: IF REMAINING PRORATED CELL WARRANTY VALUE IS LESS THAN LIFETIME TRADE-IN VALUE, THEN LIFETIME TRADE IN VALUE ONLY WILL APPLY (NOT BOTH). NEWLY PURCHASED (BEYOND WARRANTY) REPLACEMENT CELLS WILL CARRY THE SAME ORIGINAL CELL WARRANTY FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. Labor Coverage: Power Supply - TWO (2) YEARS, FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. Cell - ONE (1) YEAR, FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. CUSTOMER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRAVEL CHARGES IMPOSED BY WARRANTY CENTER OR SERVICING AGENT FOR TRAVEL BEYOND A 50-MILE RADIUS OF WARRANTY CENTER OR SERVICING AGENT TO CUSTOMER’S SWIMMING POOL. FOR ANY REPAIRS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION, CUSTOMER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL LABOR AND TRAVEL CHARGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CHARGES INCURRED FOR THE INSTALLATION OF ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS. IN ADDITION, MANUFACTURER’S LIMITED WARRANTY IS FURTHER SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS:

1. This limited warranty is for the replacement of defective parts. Manufacturer reserves the right to replace defective parts with new or refurbished parts at its sole discretion. All warranty replacement parts will carry a 90 day warranty from date of installation, or the balance of the original warranty, which ever is greater.
2. This limited warranty is applicable only if the Unit is installed in accordance with the installation procedures outlined in the accompanying Installation Manual.
3. Pool water must be tested regularly in order to properly maintain its chemical balance. Excessive chlorination is known to cause corrosion in pool metals. Failure of Customer to properly monitor the pool water’s balance can create a situation which could negatively affect the performance of the Unit and thus void this limited warranty. Failure to comply with guidelines set forth in the Owner’s Manual will void the warranty. Customer releases and holds Manufacturer harmless from any and all claims stemming from their failure to comply with these set guidelines.
4. Deterioration, discoloration or brittleness of pool surfaces, including but not limited to plaster and vinyl liners, can be caused separately by, or in combination with, age, the environment, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper installation, sunlight and other factors. Customer hereby disclaims all claims, and releases Manufacturer from all claims for damages to any pool plaster or vinyl liner in Customer’s pool by reason of the use and/or operation of the Unit. Customer represents and agrees that any claims which it may assert against Manufacturer shall be limited to those which may be asserted under the foregoing limited warranty.
5. Under no circumstances shall Manufacturer be liable for any loss or damage, whether direct, consequential or incidental, arising out of the use or inability to use the Unit in Customer’s pool. In addition, each pool/spa has its own individual purifying requirements. This limited warranty does not warrant that this product will supply 100% of the purifying requirements for any specific pool/spa.
6. This limited warranty does not apply to any injury, loss, damage, defect, or malfunction of the Unit or failure to function resulting from any failure to operate or maintain the Unit in accordance with the directions contained in the Owner’s Manual or operating instructions provided by the Manufacturer; or any injury, loss, damage, defect, or malfunction, or failure to function resulting from any accident, acts of God, alterations in the Unit by anyone other than Manufacturer, or misuse, unreasonable use, tampering, abuse, acts, omissions, failure or negligence by anyone other than Manufacturer including but not limited to such damages or injuries to parts resulting from improper installation, or damage, defect or malfunction resulting from defects in, failure or malfunction of, or negligence, abuse, or misuse with respect to equipment other than the Unit, or any damage or loss of any nature whatsoever and personal injury caused due to the presence of a foreign object in or about the pool.
7. This limited warranty is applicable only if the Unit is purchased from an AutoPilot Dealer. If Customer is uncertain as to whether the seller of the Unit is an AutoPilot Dealer, Customer should call (800) 922-6246 before purchase for verification.
8. This limited warranty shall apply only to Customer as an original purchaser of the Unit from an AutoPilot Dealer and shall not apply to any subsequent purchaser, assignee or other recipient of the Unit from Customer.
9. No dealer, distributor or other similar person has any authority to make any warranties or misrepresentations concerning Manufacturer’s products, its Unit or to extend this warranty beyond the express terms contained herein. Manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any warranties beyond the expressed terms contained in this limited warranty. Customer releases and holds Manufacturer harmless from any claims stemming from any unauthorized representations.
10. This limited warranty shall be void if Customer modifies the Unit in any respect including but not limited to the use of parts other than genuine AutoPilot parts.
11. The foregoing limited warranty gives Customer specific legal rights which may vary from state to state, and accordingly, some of the listed conditions and exclusions may not apply to Customers living in certain states.
12. These warranties set forth herein are in lieu of any other warranties, expressed or implied, including the warranties of merchantability or fitness. Any such implied warranty imposed by law is limited in duration to one (1) year from date of purchase.
13. Customer represents and agrees that any claims which it may assert against Manufacturer shall be limited to those which may be asserted under the foregoing limited warranty.
14. Any dispute between Customer and Manufacturer will be settled by binding arbitration, conducted in Broward County, Florida, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and an award of attorney’s fees and costs will go to the prevailing party.
15. At the option of the Manufacturer, the Customer may be required to return the Unit to the factory, freight prepaid to provide warranty service.
