1 - LIMITED WARRANTY
Subject to the terms and conditions of this warranty, The Broaster Company (Company) warrants that
all equipment and parts manufactured and sold by the Company and purchased new from an
authorized Broaster Distributor or Export Management Company are free from defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one year from date of installation if installation is made by a qualified
installer in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Warranty coverage is extended to the
original purchaser only and is void if the equipment is resold. If an authorized Company Distributor or
Export Management Company notifies The Broaster Company Service Department of a warranty claim
during the warranty period, and there is a warranty registration on file with the matching serial number,
the Company will, upon receipt of the claim and clear photographs of the failed part, examine the
information and determine if the claim can be processed without the return of the part. If the claim is
deemed to be valid, the Company will then issue a credit for the price of a new part to the Distributor or
Export Management Company. In some cases, at the sole discretion of the Company, it will be
required that the part be returned before a claim can be processed. A claim will be considered invalid if
there is any evidence that the part had been subjected to abnormal usage, had not been installed,
operated or serviced in accordance with Company operating instructions, or if there is any evidence of
accident, alteration or abuse of the part or the use of unauthorized repair methods. All parts replaced
under this warranty carry only the unexpired term of the warranty.
This warranty covers parts only and does not cover labor charges, transportation charges or other
expenses in the connection with warranty service, which are the obligation of the owner unless
otherwise specified in the original sales contract between the purchaser and the authorized Company
Distributor or Export Management Company from which the equipment is purchased. Please refer to
that contract for coverage as to those charges.
This warranty does not apply to consumable items and supplies such as O-rings, brushes, food
baskets, bulbs, gaskets and lamps.
The foregoing warranty is made in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, and the
Company specifically disclaims any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose. The company’s full obligation under this warranty, and the purchaser’s sole
remedy, shall be limited to credit for returned parts as specified above.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER OR ANY OTHER
PERSON FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE EQUIPMENT COVERED HEREBY, WHETHER ARISING FROM
BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.
The Company reserves the right to change or improve its product in any way without obligation to alter
products previously manufactured.
