WHAT IS COVERED?

This Warranty is provided by Refresh Fans Inc. of 6601 Lyons Road, Suite H-3, Coconut Creek, FL, USA, and covers any defects in materials or workmanship under normal use and maintenance that adversely affect the ability of the fan to operate properly when the product is installed correctly according to Refresh Fans Inc. installation instructions by a state qualified or licensed electrical contractor and operated pursuant to these instructions, and when such fans are purchased directly from Refresh Fans Inc. or a Refresh Fans Ins. Authorized Dealer. This Limited Warranty is subject to all provisions, conditions, limitations, and exclusions described within this document. This warranty is limited solely to products purchased directly from the Refresh Fans Inc. family of companies or from one of its authorized dealers. Under no circumstances will warranty coverage extend to products purchased through eBay, craigslist, or other internet auction or internet-based retail sites.

WHO IS COVERED?

This Warranty extends to the original purchaser and subsequent owners, but only while the fan remains at the site of the original installation unless not permanently installed (portable). This Warranty extends through the first installation of the fan and terminates if the fan is moved or reinstalled at a new location if the fan is permanently installed.

WHAT WILL REFRESH FANS DO?

a. Repair or replace the affected components of any defective product;
b. Repair or replace the defective product; or
c. Refund the price you paid for the product upon return of the product to Refresh Fans Inc.,

2. During the first 12 months of the Warranty Period, with purchase of factory installation for a commercial installation, Refresh Fans Inc. will pay reasonable labor costs, as defined below, for repairing or replacing a defective fan or any defective components of the fan at the installation location.
Alternatively, Refresh Fans Inc. may, at its option, require return of the fan to Refresh Fans Inc. for repair or replacement.

REFRESH FANS INC. WILL SHIP THE REPAIRED PRODUCT OR REPLACEMENT TO YOU AT NO CHARGE;
HOWEVER, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS OF REMOVAL, REINSTALLATION, AND SHIPPING OF THE PRODUCT TO THE REFRESH FANS INC. SERVICE CENTER.
The foregoing constitutes your exclusive remedy and the limit of liability for Refresh Fans Inc., and for any and all losses in connection with this product.

WHAT STEPS ARE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?

1. If the fan is operating, immediately turn off the fan.
2. Contact Refresh Fans’ Technical Support Department as soon after the issue is discovered as possible by:
a. Visiting the Refresh Fans website and submitting a contact us form; or
b. Calling the customer service phone number listed for your region.
3. Once the Customer Service Representative has received your warranty claim, a case will be processed.
In order to process this case, please have the following information available:
a. Your name, address, phone number, and installation address;
b. Product brand name, serial number, purchase price, and verification of product installation or premises possession date;
c. A detailed description of the problem you have experienced.
4. If the Technical Support Representative determines that the warranty claim is valid and that a replacement part is required, the Representative will process the claim and the replacement part will be shipped to you. Included in the shipment of the replacement part will be any shipping labels and documents needed to return the original part, including a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number.
Your receipt of the replacement part constitutes your agreement to return the failed part to Refresh Fans Inc. within 15 days of the receipt of the replacement part delivery. If Refresh Fans Inc. does not receive the original part, you will be invoiced for the retail cost of the replacement part, and you will be responsible for payment for the replacement part upon receipt of the invoice. Refresh Fans Inc. reserves all rights it retains under law to collect the retail cost of the replacement part if the original is not returned as specified above.
5. Obtaining service may involve contacting a contractor to remove, repair, or replace the fan, or to remove the fan and return it to us. The cost of labor incurred, for factory-installed fans, to remove, repair, or reinstall the fans will be covered only during the first 12 months after the warranty becomes effective, and only pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Labor” detailed in this Warranty.
6. If we ask you to ship the fan back to Refresh Fans Inc. for repairs or replacement, we will prepay the shipping and insurance for factory-installed fans during the first 12 months after the warranty becomes effective; however, you will have to repackage the fan in such a way that there is no damage to the fan in transit. You will be sent any return shipment documentation necessary to help you return the fan to Refresh Fans Inc. If we determine that no warrantable failure occurred or defect exists, we may invoice you for these shipping costs.
Please be patient while we arrange for or undertake the necessary warranty service. We will provide you with regular status updates, as well as shipment dates, if appropriate until your fan is back in service.

CONDITIONS:

1. Refresh Fans Inc. reserves the right to make the final determination, based on its own evaluation of the fan and all its components, as to whether:

b. Noise heard during operation is within normal operating levels, in which case this Warranty would be inapplicable. Note: Certain electrical, motor, or other operating noise may be impossible to eliminate due to the fan design and/or site conditions.

4. A service fee, parts replacement fee, and shipping charges may be imposed if any fan is returned for warranty service that is missing components or that has been modified in any way. Such fees and charges will vary based upon the actual material and labor costs necessary to replace missing or modified parts and to return the fan to its original factory condition.
