Rev II 01AUG20
USC, LLC, (Manufacturer) warrants its seed treating equipment as follows:
1. Limited Warranty: Manufacturer warrants that the Products sold hereunder will be free from defects in material
and workmanship for a period of 18 months from date of shipment. Manufacturer further provides a 12 month
warranty on specific equipment supplied with a warranty card. The 12 month warranty begins upon USC receipt of
warranty card from Wholesaler and must be submitted to USC within 18 months of stock equipment purchase by
wholesaler to be valid. If the Products do not conform to this Limited Warranty during the warranty period,
consumer shall notify Manufacturer in writing (on the approved USC warranty claim form) of the claimed defects
and demonstrate to Manufacturer satisfaction that said defects are covered by this Limited Warranty (through
pictures, video or other objective data). If the defects are properly reported to Manufacturer within the warranty
period, and the defects are of such type and nature as to be covered by this warranty, Manufacturer shall, at its
expense, furnish replacement Products or, at Manufacturer's option, replacement parts for the defective products.
Shipping and installation of the replacement Products or replacement parts shall be at the Consumer's expense.
All replacement parts orders through USC will carry their specific manufacturer's standard warranty including
serialized parts manufactured by USC. USC will not warrant parts outside of the standard USC warranty period.
USC will not extend any warranty due to replaced parts. The end user is responsible for all shipping and handling
expenses for parts returned to USC under this section which may or may not be included in that specific warranty.
USC will pay shipping expense between USC's vendor and USC.
2. Other Limits: THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED,INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Manufacturer does not warrant against damages or defects arising
from improper installation (where installation is by persons other than Manufacturer), against defects in products or
components not manufactured by Manufacturer, or against damages resulting from such non-Manufacturer made
products or components. Manufacturer passes on to the consumer the warranty it received (if any) from the maker
of such non-Manufacturer made products or components. This warranty also does not apply to Products upon
which repairs and / or modifications have been affected or attempted by persons other than pursuant to written
authorization by Manufacturer. This includes any welding on equipment which could damage electrical
components. Manufacturer does not warrant against casualties or damages resulting from misuse and / or abuse of
Products, improper storage or handling, acts of nature, effects of weather, including effects of weather due to
outside storage, accidents, or damages incurred during transportation by common carrier or Dealer/customer
arranged freight. Any replacement or repair covered under this warranty will not extend the warranty period. The
remainder of the manufacturer's warranty will remain in force until stated expiration from point of sale.
3. Exclusive Obligation: THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE. The sole and exclusive obligation of Manufacturer shall
be to repair or replace the defective Products in the manner and for the period provided above. Manufacturer shall
not have any other obligation with respect to the Products or any part thereof, whether based on contract, tort, strict
liability or otherwise. Under no circumstances, whether based on this Limited Warranty or otherwise, shall
Manufacturer be liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost sales (whether direct or indirect damages), incidental,
special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages. Consumer shall make no claims for renumeration for any loss
as a result of USC equipment and USC shall reject any and all claims that may arise as stated herein.
4. Other Statements: Manufacturer's employees or representatives' oral or other written statements do not
constitute warranties, shall not be relied upon by consumer, and are not a part of the contract for sale or this limited
warranty. The USC Warranty Manager is the final decision point for all warranty claims.
5. Return Policy: Approval is required prior to returning goods to Manufacturer irrespective of warranty claim. A
restocking fee will apply to all goods that are retuned in new, sellable condition. Items returned for warranty that are
found to be in new, sellable condition (not failing) will remain the property of the consumer and warranty claim for
such items will be denied. The consumer will have the ability to have part returned at the consumer's expense or
restocked at 15% restocking fee less any USC paid freight for its return.
6. Entire Obligation: This Limited Warranty states the entire obligation of Manufacturer with respect to the Products.
If any part of this Limited Warranty is determined to be void or illegal, the remainder shall remain in full force and
effect.
