necessary to correct such defect, free of charge, if the appliance has been installed and

EXCLUSIONS

In no event shall the Equator Advanced Appliances be liable for incidental or consequential
damages or for damages resulting from external causes such as abuse, misuse, incorrect
voltage or acts God. This warranty does not cover service calls which do not involve
defective workmanship or materials covered by this warranty. Accordingly, diagnosis and
repair costs for a service call which does not involve defective workmanship or materials will
be the responsibility of the consumer-owner.

Specifically, the following work is not covered under warranty and does not constitute
warranty work:

§ Installation – e.g. improper hook-up of CO2 cylinder or beer keg or leveling

§ Maintenance – e.g. keeping the unit clean

§ Damage – e.g. replacing broken parts

Most work is covered. The defining factor is, has the machine malfunctioned (Equator
Advanced Appliances is responsible) or has the customer omitted or done something to
cause machine to malfunction (customer is responsible). Some States do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you.
