SolarBear instructions on premises owned by the original consumer buyer.
2. IDENTITY OF WARRANTOR AND WARRANTEE: The warranty is extended by SolarBear to the original consumer buyer of the solar collector.
3. LIMITED TEN-YEAR WARRANTY: The SolarBear solar collectors are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal
use and service for the heating of either an inground or above ground swimming pool for ten (10) years from date of purchase, subject to the terms,
conditions, and limitations described below.
4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED
A. EXCLUSIONS - The above warranty does not apply:
1. To conditions resulting from a defect in a component or part which is not part of the SolarBear collector.
2. To conditions resulting from a significant departure from SolarBear's installation instructions.
3. To conditions such as internal freezing (freeze damage) resulting from failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance or storage in ac
cordance with SolarBear's operating and maintenance instructions.
4. To conditions resulting from any misuse, abuse, neglect, accident, or alterations.
5. To normal fading and minor deterioration of exterior surfaces resulting from exposure to the elements, except conditions that do or will affect
performance.
6. Damage caused by natural phenomenon
B. NO WARRANTY OF PERFORMANCE OF THE SOLAR COLLECTORS AND SYSTEM:
SolarBear makes no warranty as to the performance of its solar collectors as to any particular temperature or level to which the water will be heated,
since this depends upon the amount and intensity of sunlight and other variable factors which are impossible to predict and which cannot be controlled.
C. LIMITATIONS ON EXCLUSION FROM COVERAGE:
The above warranty shall not be considered to be violated or its coverage in any way reduced by conditions that may occur in the normal operation of
the system.
5. SOME THINGS BUYER MUST DO
A. PROPER INSTALLATION:
INSTALLATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT.
B. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
Provide reasonable and necessary maintenance in accordance with SolarBear's operating and maintenance instructions.
C. KEEPING SolarBear INFORMED:
If it appears to you that any warranted component or part is not functioning properly, promptly notify SolarBear. Early attention to a minor problem may
help avoid serious problems later.
6. WHAT SolarBear WILL DO
A. REPAIR OR SERVICE:
If a defect in material or workmanship becomes evident during the warranty period, SolarBear will repair or, at its option, replace the malfunctioning solar
collector with a new solar collector of at least the same quality, within a reasonable time, upon payment of the charges described below. All replacement
parts and repairs shall assume the remaining warranty period of the part(s) repaired or replaced. To verify that your warranty is still in effect, you should
be prepared to furnish evidence of date of Purchase, purchase price and send photos showing that the installation was performed according to the
instructions included with the collector. The system must be returned to dealer, distributor, or SolarBear at homeowner's expense.

To obtain replacement of the defective solar collector under the warranty, you are required to pay the difference between:
a) SolarBear's suggested retail price for the solar collector at the time the warranty claim is made, and
b) the prorated portion of SolarBear's suggested retail price for the solar collector at the time of the original purchase, in accordance with the following
proration schedule:

IN ADDITION TO THE CHARGES FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE SOLAR COLLECTOR, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR

OTHER INCIDENTAL SERVICES INVOLVED. NONE OF SUCH COSTS OR EXPENSES ARE COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY, AND SolarBear IS

7. NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES - THESE REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE Unless otherwise explicitly agreed to in writing, it is understood that
this is the only written warranty given by SolarBear and SolarBear neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to assume for it any other obligations or liabil-
ity in connection with its products. IN NO EVENT SHALL SolarBear BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, LOST PROFITS, INJURY TO GOOD-
WILL, OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECTIVE SOLAR COLLECTOR OR
ANY BREACH OF THE ABOVE EXPRESS WARRANTY, FOR NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion or limitation may not apply to you. The above warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
