6. Warranty and Return Information

Warranty

What does this warranty cover and how long does it last? This Limited
Warranty is provided by Xantrex Technology Inc. ("Xantrex") and covers defects
in workmanship and materials in your Xantrex Prosine Sine Wave Inverter. This
Warranty Period lasts for 24 months from the date of purchase at the point of sale
to you, the original end user customer, unless otherwise agreed in writing. You
will be required to demonstrate proof of purchase to make warranty claims.
This Limited Warranty is transferable to subsequent owners but only for the
unexpired portion of the Warranty Period. Subsequent owners also require
original proof of purchase as described in "What proof of purchase is required?"
What will Xantrex do? During the Warranty Period Xantrex will, at its option,
repair the product (if economically feasible) or replace the defective product free
of charge, provided that you notify Xantrex of the product defect within the
Warranty Period, and provided that Xantrex through inspection establishes the
existence of such a defect and that it is covered by this Limited Warranty.
Xantrex will, at its option, use new and/or reconditioned parts in performing
warranty repair and building replacement products. Xantrex reserves the right to
use parts or products of original or improved design in the repair or replacement.
If Xantrex repairs or replaces a product, its warranty continues for the remaining
portion of the original Warranty Period or 90 days from the date of the return
shipment to the customer, whichever is greater. All replaced products and all parts
removed from repaired products become the property of Xantrex.
Xantrex covers both parts and labor necessary to repair the product, and return
shipment to the customer via a Xantrex-selected non-expedited surface freight
within the contiguous United States and Canada. Alaska, Hawaii and outside of
the United States and Canada are excluded. Contact Xantrex Customer Service
for details on freight policy for return shipments from excluded areas.

Authorization Policy described in your product manual. For some products,
Xantrex maintains a network of regional Authorized Service Centers. Call
Xantrex or check our website to see if your product can be repaired at one of
these facilities.
What proof of purchase is required? In any warranty claim, dated proof of
purchase must accompany the product and the product must not have been
disassembled or modified without prior written authorization by Xantrex.
Proof of purchase may be in any one of the following forms:
• The dated purchase receipt from the original purchase of the product
at point of sale to the end user; or
• The dated dealer invoice or purchase receipt showing original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) status; or
• The dated invoice or purchase receipt showing the product
exchanged under warranty.
What does this warranty not cover? Claims are limited to repair and
replacement, or if in Xantrex's discretion that is not possible, reimbursement up
to the purchase price paid for the product. Xantrex will be liable to you only for
direct damages suffered by you and only up to a maximum amount equal to the
purchase price of the product.
