Grote Industries, Inc. (“Grote”) warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service as set forth in this Limited Warranty. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY is the final, complete and exclusive expression of warranty to the purchaser and cannot be modified except in writing signed by an authorized officer of Grote. General One-Year Limited Warranty Subject to the following conditions, Grote warrants to the original purchaser only (and not to anyone else) of each new product made by Grote that any part thereof which proves to be defective in material or workmanship within one year from the date of manufacture by Grote will, at Grote’s option, be repaired or replaced without charge upon return to Grote of the defective product, provided any defect in the product is brought to the attention of Grote within the warranty period, who alone will be authorized to furnish or arrange for repairs or replacements within the terms of this limited warranty. The above limited warranty does not apply, and no warranty, either expressed or implied, shall be applicable (a) to damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse or abuse; (b) if the product is not installed, operated and maintained according to procedures recommended by Grote; (c) if the serial number, date code, or other identifying marks affixed to the product by Grote are removed, obliterated or defaced. In no case shall the warranty be extended to defects in materials, components (which includes but not limited to bulbs), or services furnished by third parties nor to the installation of the product performed by third parties, except those performed by or on behalf of Grote authorized distributors. If any repairs are made, or any other parts are replaced during the warranty period, by any distributor other than a Grote distributor, in accordance with service manuals, parts, accessories, or attachments other than authorized by Grote for use in Grote’s products, the purchaser shall pay for such repairs or parts without recourse against Grote, and Grote shall be relieved of responsibility for fulfillment of the warranty with respect to parts or components of all repairs, alterations, or replacements so made.
