1.4 What does this warranty not cover?
This Limited Warranty does not cover normal wear and tear of the product or costs associated with
replacing consumable items such as like air filter, fuses, arrestors etc. A shorter than normal life during
the Warranty Period caused by excessive use, or incorrect use not considered a Defect. Please consult
your Owner's Manual to determine the proper use of the product.
This warranty does not apply to and Xantrex will not be responsible for any damage to the product:
a. if it has not been used in accordance with the Owner's Manual supplied with the product, if it has
been damaged during shipping, mishandled, neglected, improperly installed, physically damaged
or altered (either internally or externally) or damaged from improper use or use in an unsuitable
environment;
b) if it has been subjected to fire, water, generalized corrosion, biological infestations, or input voltage
that creates operating conditions beyond the maximum or minimum limits listed in the Xantrex
product specifications including high input voltage from generators and lightning strikes;
c) if repairs have been done to it other than by Xantrex or an Authorized Service Center;
d) if it is used as a component part of a product expressly warranted by another manufacturer; and

removed.
1.5 Exclusions
This Limited Warranty is the sole and exclusive warranty provided by Xantrex in connection with your
Xantrex product and is, where permitted by law, in lieu of all other warranties, conditions, guarantees,
representations, obligations and liabilities, express or implied, statutory or otherwise in connection with
the product, however arising (whether by contract, tort, negligence, principles of manufacturer's
liability, operation of law, conduct, statement or otherwise) including without restriction any implied
warranty or condition of quality, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Any implied
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose to the extent required under applicable
law to apply to the product shall, where permitted by law, be limited in duration to the period stipulated
under this Limited Warranty.
In no event will Xantrex be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, losses,
costs or expenses however arising whether in contract or tort including, without restriction, any
economic losses of any kind, any loss or damage to property, or any damage or injury arising from or as
a result of misuse or abuse or the incorrect installation, integration or operation of the product.
1.6 Limitations on Exclusions
This Limited Warranty does not affect your rights as prescribed by law and as established in the Law on
Warranties for Consumer Goods (Spain) or the German Civil Code ("BGB"). In Germany, the legal
provisions regarding suspension or expiration ("Ablaufhemmung"), suspension ("Hemmung") and
recommencement of limitation periods remains unaffected.
Some countries do not allow limitations or exclusions on implied warranties or on the duration of an
implied warranty or on the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to you.
For example, in Germany, the exclusion at 1.5 shall not apply in the case of mandatory liability, i.e.
under the German Product Liability Act ("Produkthaftungsgesetz") or in the case of intent, gross
negligence, and injury of life, body or health, or breach of a condition which goes to the root of the
contract ("wesentliche Vertragspflichten"). However, claims for damages arising from a breach of a
condition which goes to the root of the contract shall be limited to the foreseeable damage which is
intrinsic to the contract, unless caused by intent or gross negligence or based on liability for injury of
life, body or health. The exclusion at 1.5 in Germany also does not imply a change in the burden of
proof to your detriment.
