IN NO EVENT SHALL JØTUL, ITS PARENT COMPANY, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILI-
ATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE OR
RESPONSIBLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSE-
QUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY,
OR DAMAGES TO A STRUCTURE OR ITS CONTENTS, ARISING UNDER ANY
THEORY OF LAW WHATSOEVER. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICU-
LAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE LENGTH
OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN,
JØTUL MAKES NO ORAL, WRITTEN OR OTHER WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO
JØTUL STOVES OR FIREPLACES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, or limitations on the length of implied warran-
ties. Therefore, the above exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights,
which vary from state to state.
JØTUL reserves the right to discontinue, modify or change the materials
used to produce the Jøtul Stove or Fireplace Insert. JØTUL shall have the
right to replace any defective component with substitute components
determined by JØTUL to be of substantially equal quality and price.
The dollar value of JØTUL's liability for breach of this warranty shall be lim-
ited exclusively to the cost of furnishing a replacement component. JØTUL
may at its discretion discharge all obligations by refunding the wholesale
price of any defective part or appliance. JØTUL shall in no event be liable
for any special, indirect or consequential damage of any nature which is in
excess of the original wholesale purchase price of the product. JØTUL shall
not in any event be liable for the cost of labor expended by others in con-
nection with any defective component. Any costs or expenses beyond those
expressly assumed by JØTUL under the terms of this warranty shall be the
sole responsibility of the owner(s) of the Jøtul Stove or Fireplace.
No dealer, distributor, or other person is authorized to modify, augment,
or extend this limited warranty on behalf of JØTUL. NO MODIFICATION OR
CHANGE TO THIS WARRANTY WILL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS IT IS MADE IN A
WRITTEN DOCUMENT MANUALLY SIGNED BY AN AUTHORIZED OFFICER OF
JØTUL.
An authorized installer may have been provided with certain information
related particularly to the Jøtul Stove or Fireplace; however, no authorized
installer or other person who may service the appliance is an agent of
JØTUL. No inference should be made that JØTUL has tested, certified, or
otherwise pronounced any person as qualified to install or service the ap-
pliance. JØTUL shall not be liable or otherwise responsible for any error or
omission by a person installing or servicing a Jøtul Stove or Fireplace Insert.
If you believe your Jøtul Stove or Fireplace Insert is defective, you should
contact your nearest authorized Jøtul dealer, who will process a warranty
claim. IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE, JØTUL MUST
RECEIVE NOTICE OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS OF THE
DATE THE DEFECT IS FIRST DISCOVERED, OR REASONABLY COULD HAVE BEEN
DISCOVERED.
