When Does Warranty Coverage Begin? Warranty coverage begins on the “ installation date.” The

installation date is one of three dates depending on the circumstances of pur cha se:

(1) For units installed in a newly constructed residence, the

installation date is the date the owner purchases the residence from the builder.

(2) For units installed in existing residences, the installation

date is the date that the unit is originally installed.

(3) If the date the owner purchases the residence from the

builder or the date the unit is originally installed cannot be verified, the installation date is thr ee months after the manufacture date. The firs t four digits of the serial number (YYMM) on the unit indicate the manufacture date. For example, a serial number beginning with “1306” indicate s the unit was manufactured in June 2013.

How Long Does Warranty Coverage Last? Registration is not required to obtain warranty coverage, but

registration aff ects the leng th of the warran ty . If the unit is not registered, the warranty lasts for a period up to 5 YEARS.

If the unit is properly registere d online within 60 day s after the installation date, the warranty lasts for as long as the original registere d owner or his or her spouse (“register ed owner”) own and reside in the home in which the unit was originally installe d, for a period up to 10 YEARS. TO REGISTER, GO TO WWW.GOODMANMFG.COM AND CLICK “PRODUCT REGISTRATION.” If you are a California or Quebec resident, please refer to the “California And Quebec Residents” section below.

Neither of these warranty periods continues after the unit is removed from the location where it was originally installed.

The replacement of a part under this warr anty does not e xtend the warranty period. In other words, Goodman warrants a replacement part only for the period r emaining in the applicable warranty that commenced on the installation date.

What Will Goodman Do To Correct Problems? Goodman will furnish a replacement part, without charge for

the part only, to replace any part that is found to be defective due to workmanship or materials under normal use and maintenance. Furnishing of the replacement part is Goodman’ s only responsibility under this warranty and the furnishing of the replacement part is the owner’s only remedy .

THE OWNER AGREES THAT THE SE REMEDIES ARE THE OWNER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

What Won’t Goodman Do To Correct Problems? Goodman will not pay for:

· Labor, freight, or any other cost associated with the service, repair, or operation of the unit.

· Electricity or fuel costs, or increase s in electricity or fuel costs, for any reason, including additional or unusual use of supplemental electric heat.

· Lodging or transportation charges.

· Refrigerant.

WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS BASED ON NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER BREACH OF CONTRACT , OR ANY OTHER THE ORY, NEITHER GOODMAN NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENT AL OR CONSE QUENTIAL DAMA GES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LO ST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OF A UNIT , EXTRA UTILITY EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES TO PROPERTY. Some states

and provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

How Can The Owner Receive Warranty Service? If there is a problem with the unit, contact a licensed c ontract or . T o receiv e a replacement part, a license d contr actor must bring

the defective part to a Goodman heating and air conditioning products distributor.
