INTRODUCTION 1

Windy Nation Inc. (“Windy Nation”) is not assembling the Solar Tracker, or any other product offered by

Windy Nation. Windy Nation, and its directors, officers, and employees disclaim, and by purchasing a Windy

Nation product you accept all liability and responsibility for damage to property, injury, or death arising out of

or related to the use or misuse of any product offered by Windy Nation.

LIMITED WARRANTY 1.1

Windy Nation warrants that the Solar Tracker (the “Product”), will be free from manufacturing defects in

materials and workmanship under normal authorized use consistent with product instructions for a period of

one (1) year from the date the original purchaser (“Customer”) receives the Product (the “Warranty Period”).

This warranty extends only to the original purchaser. The Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the

entire liability of Windy Nation, its suppliers and affiliates for breach of the warranty is, at Windy Nation’s

option, either (i) to replace the Product (or defective component part(s)) with a new or reconditioned Product

(or component part(s)); (ii) to repair the reported problem; or (iii) to refund the purchase price of the Product.

Repaired or replaced products are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period only. No

employee, agent, dealer or other person is authorized to give any warranties on behalf of Windy Nation not

expressly set forth in this limited warranty.

RESTRICTIONS 1.2

No warranty will apply if the Product (i) has been altered or modified except by Windy Nation; (ii) has not

been installed, operated, repaired, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Windy Nation;

(iii) has been subjected to abnormal physical, thermal or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident. If

Windy Nation determines that the problem with the Product is not due to a manufacturing defect in Windy

Nation’s workmanship or materials, or otherwise does not qualify for warranty repair, then the Customer will

be responsible for the costs of all necessary repairs and expenses incurred by Windy Nation.

WARRANTY CLAIMS & RETURN PROCEDURES 1.3

To be eligible for service under this warranty, the Customer must submit a service request within the

Warranty Period by contacting Windy Nation in writing or via telephone and obtaining a Returned Materials

Authorization (“RMA”) number. This RMA must be obtained before returning any product under this warranty.

Notification must include a description of the alleged defect, the manner in which the Product was used, the

serial number, and the original purchase date in addition to the name, address, and telephone number of the

Customer. Within five (5) business days of the date of notification, Windy Nation will provide the Customer

with an RMA number and the location to which the Customer must return the defective Product. Any Product

returned for warranty service shall be shipped at the expense and risk of the Customer. The Customer must

return the entire Product kit (or, if authorized by Windy Nation, the defective component parts), within fifteen

(15) days after issuance of the RMA number. Windy Nation will be under no obligation to accept any returned

Product that does not have a valid RMA number. Customer’s failure to return the Product within fifteen (15)

days of its receipt of an RMA number may result in cancellation of the RMA. All parts that Windy Nation

replaces shall become Windy Nation’s property on the date Windy Nation ships the repaired Product or part

back to the Customer. Windy Nation will use all reasonable efforts within thirty (30) days of receipt of the

defective Product to repair or replace such Product. If a warranty claim is invalid for any reason, the

Customer will be charged at Windy Nation’s then-current rates for services performed and will be charged for

all necessary repairs and expense incurred by Windy Nation. If Windy Nation determines that a warranty

claim is valid, it will ship the repaired or replaced Product to Customer at Windy Nation’s cost.

DISCLAIMER 1.4

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH,

WINDY NATION DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY INCLUDING,

WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCTS PROVIDED BY WINDY NATION. NO

ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY WINDY NATION, ITS DEALERS,

DISTRIBUTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES SHALL IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS

WARRANTY. WINDY NATION DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE OF THE

PRODUCTS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE ANY

PARTICULAR RESULTS FROM USE OR MODIFICATION OF THE PRODUCTS. Some jurisdictions do not

allow the limitation or exclusion of implied warranties or how long an implied warranty may last, so the above

limitations may not apply to you. In any such jurisdiction, the warranty shall be limited to the minimum

warranty and period required by law.

WINDY NATION EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR BODILY INJURIES OR DEATH THAT MAY

OCCUR, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY USE OF THE PRODUCT BY ANY PERSON.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 1.5

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WINDY NATION OR ITS AFFILIATES OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE

OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, LOST PROFITS, LOST

DATA, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND

REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING

NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WINDY NATION OR ITS AFFILIATE OR

SUPPLIER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

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

limitations may not apply to you. Neither Windy Nation nor its affiliates or suppliers will be held liable or

responsible for any damage or loss to any items or products connected to, powered by or otherwise attached

to the Product. The total cumulative liability to Customer, from all causes of action and all theories of liability,

will be limited to and will not exceed the purchase price of the Product paid by Customer. This warranty gives

the Customer specific legal rights and the Customer may also have other legal rights that vary from state to

state.
