Calculate the interior square footage of living area (do not include
garage, attic or basement) and multiply the total square footage by

fan.
TEN-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY LIMITED, NON-PRORATED AND TRANSFERABLE
WHO AND WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Provided that the products covered by this warranty have been
installed in strict accordance with the Air Vent written installation
instructions and in accordance with all local codes and standards,
including those pertaining to fire-rated construction, Air Vent warrants
to the original purchaser or a subsequent owner of the property that
the parts described in the following sentence are free from
manufacturing defects for 10 (ten) years from the date of purchase. This
warranty covers the fan blade and motor.
Should any defect occur during the 10 (ten) year period
following date of purchase, Air Vent will provide a replacement for that
part deemed to be defective (but not including labor costs incurred in
removing the part or installing the replacement part).
In the event of replacement according to the terms of this
warranty, the warranty on the replacement part will extend for the
balance of the original warranty period which is in effect at the time
the part proves defective.
REPLACEMENT PLUS™ PROTECTION
The Air Vent products to which this warranty applies are covered by
Replacement Plus Protection for a period of 5 (five) years, provided
that the products have been installed in strict accordance with Air
Vent's written installation instructions and in accordance with all
local codes and standards, including those pertaining to fire-rated
construction. Under this warranty feature, Air Vent, at no charge, will
replace any part covered by this warranty and found to be defective
during the Replacement Plus period (the Replacement Plus period begins
when the whole-house fan installation is completed). Air Vent's maximum
liability under Replacement Plus will be equal to the reasonable cost of
the replacement part, including labor to remove the defective part and
install the replacement part.
In instances in which Air Vent, according to the terms of this
warranty, has agreed to pay the cost of labor required to replace a
defective part, Air Vent will provide reimbursement only upon receipt of
a copy of the contractor's invoice or other written evidence of the
completion of the work which Air Vent, at its sole discretion, deems
acceptable.
TRANSFERABILITY
If there is a change in ownership, the warranty may be transferred
by the original purchaser of the whole-house fan to the new owner under
the terms and conditions of this warranty. The warranty will then cover
the period of 10 years following the purchase of the whole-house fan.
If the warranty is transferred from the original purchaser to a
new owner during the five-year Replacement Plus period, the remaining
period of Replacement Plus Protection will be available to the
subsequent property owner. At the end of the Replacement Plus Protection
period, the warranty will cover 5 years following the purchase of the
whole-house fan.
LIMITATIONS
Air Vent shall not be liable for, and this warranty does not apply
to, any failure, defect or damage resulting from or connected with
misuse, abuse, neglect or improper handling or storage, or installation
not in strict adherence to Air Vent's written instructions. Air Vent
reserves the right to discontinue or modify any of its products,
including color, and shall not be liable as a result of such
discontinuance or modification. If Air Vent replaces any part under this
warranty, it may substitute parts designated by Air Vent to be of
comparable quality or price range in the event the product initially
installed has been discontinued or modified.
OTHER CONDITIONS

WARRANTIES, LIABILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS OF AIR VENT. PERTINENT STATE LAW

TO MAKE ANY CHANGE OR MODIFICATION TO THIS WARRANTY. SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON OR THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
