SECTION VIII: WARRANTY
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
GENERAL CONDITIONS
Hot Line Water Heaters, ECR International, warrants that the
ot Line tank shall be free of defects in material and workman-
H
ship during normal use and service for as long as the original
residential purchaser owns the home in which the unit was originally installed. For the purposes of this Limited Warranty, residential purchaser is defined as the owner of a single family
home in which the purchaser resides on a permanent basis.
If at the time of a request for warranty the original residential
purchaser can not provide a copy of the original sales receipt,
deed, or equivalent document, then the warranty period for the
Hot Line shall be seven (7) years from the date of manufacture
of the unit. The Limited Warranty on the tank shall be reduced
to a period of three (3) years if the purchaser is a business, partnership or corporation, or if the water heater is used for a commercial or multi-family residential property application.
Should a leak develop within this Limited Warranty period due
to defective materials or workmanship and such leak having
been verified by an authorized company representative, ECR
International will repair the unit or furnish a replacement Hot
Line heater or the nearest comparable model available at the
time of replacement.
ECR International shall not be liable for any water damage
arising directly or indirectly from any defect in the water
heater or component part(s) or from the use thereof or any
service call not involving malfunction or defects in materials or
workmanship.
THIS WARRANTY IS VOID AND SHALL NOT APPLY IF:

was designed or any malfuction resulting from flood, fire,
wind or lightning.
ECR International will provide, under the Limited Warranty,
only a replacement water heater, repairs, or parts for defective units. The Limited Warranty does not cover any component of ECR International Hot Line that has to be replaced
during the warranty period as a result of reasonable wear
and tear, labor costs, shipping charges, delivery expenses,
nor administrative fees incurred by the customer in removing
or reinstalling the Hot Line.

consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
