Limited Warranty To Original Purchaser:

Bard Manufacturing Company, Inc. Bryan, Ohio 43506 warrants to you, the original purchaser, that your Bard product will be free from defects in

materials and workmanship when used under normal conditions from the installation date through the time periods outlined in the "Duration of Warranty"

section (see reverse side).

Proof Of Purchase:

You must be able to show us the date on which you purchased your product when you make a claim under this warranty. Your owner's registration card

filed online at www.wallmountwarranty.com or your contractor's invoice, bill of sale, or similar document is sufficient at time of warranty claim. If you can

not show us the actual date of purchase, the time periods in this warranty will start on the date that we shipped your Bard product from our factory.

What This Warranty Does Not Cover: (Also see Duration of Warranty on reverse side.)

This warranty does not cover defects or damage caused by:

1. Alterations not approved by us; improper installation (including over or under sizing), improper repairs, or servicing; or improper parts and

accessories not supplied by us.

2. Misuse or failure to follow installation and operating instructions (including failure to perform preventative maintenance) or limitations on the rating plate.

This includes failure to use low ambient controls on all applications requiring compressor operation in cooling mode below 60F outdoor ambient.

3. Any corrosion from operation in a corrosive atmosphere (examples: acids, halogenated hydrocarbons or environmental conditions).

4. Parts that must be replaced periodically (such as filters, oil nozzles, mist eliminators, ERV belts, pile seals, etc.).

5. Improper fuel or electrical supply (such as low voltage, voltage transients, power interruption, and units on generators with no brownout protection).

6. Accidents or other events beyond our reasonable control (such as storm, fire, or transportation damage).

7. Defects that happen after

(a) Anyone has tampered with the product.

(b) The product has been improperly serviced according to accepted trade practices;

(d) The product has been damaged by an event beyond Bard's control (See also No. 5 above).

8. Consequential damages (such as increased living expenses while the product is being repaired). Some states do not allow the exclusion or

limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

9. This warranty has certain limitations for units installed on over-the-road trucks, vans and trailers. (See reverse side.)

10. Cost of service call at installation site to diagnose causes of trouble, labor to replace defective component or transportation costs for

replacement parts.

11. This Limited Warranty does not apply to products installed or operated outside of the US, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, Canda and Mexico.

Units operated in coastal areas where the operating environment is exposed to airborne saline particles (typically 5 miles from coast line) must have

corrosion protection or warrenty claims will be declined on corrosion-based cabinet and part failures.

12. Bard does not endorse, approve or certify any online sales of its products through auction websites, online retailers, liquidators or any other method

of online sales direct to consumers. Bard will not honor the factory warranty of any Bard equipment purchased over the Internet.

Your Responsibilities:

You are responsible for -

1. Preventative maintenance of the product (such as cleaning and replacement of filters, nozzles and other consumable parts).

2. Insuring that the instruction manual is followed for care and use of your product.

3. Insuring that your product is installed by a competent, qualified contractor, following all local and national codes, and industry standards.

What We Will Do About A Defect:

We will either repair or replace the defective part only. Replacement parts may be reconditioned parts. The warranty for the repaired or replaced

part will last only for the remainder of the warranty period for the original part. For Heat Exchangers that are no longer available, we will give you credit

equal to the then current retail price of an equivalent Heat Exchanger.

Defective parts and a properly completed Bard parts warranty form must be returned to a Bard distributor for submitting to Bard to be eligible for a

warranty credit or replacement. Credits are issued to the Bard distributor.

We will not pay or be responsible for labor or defective/replacement part transportation costs or delays in repairing or failures to complete repairs caused

by events beyond our reasonable control.

What You Must Do

1. Tell your heating and air conditioning contractor as soon as you discover a problem and have the contractor make repairs.

2. Pay for all transportation, related service labor, diagnostic charges, refrigerant, refrigerant recovery and related items.

Service

If your product requires service, you should contact the contractor who installed it or the contractor that has been providing the product's preventative

maintenance and repair service. You may find the installing contractor's name on the product or in your Owner's packet. If you do not know who that

is, you should contact a competent, qualified contractor to make the repairs. If in doubt, you should contact the nearest distributor that handles Bard

products (www.bardhvac.com). Please note that contractors and distributors that handle Bard products are independent contractors and distributors, and

therefore, are not under the direction of Bard Manufacturing Company, Inc.

Only Warranty

This is the only warranty that we make. There are no other express warranties. All implied warranties are limited in duration to the duration of the

applicable written warranty made above.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
