  • WHAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITES OF SUNSETTER PRODUCTS UNDER THIS WARRANTY?
    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, SunSetter Products will furnish replacements for parts found by SunSetter Products to be defective in design, manufacture or assembly, under each specific component or product warranty as set forth below.
  • WHAT ARE THE RESPONSIBILITES OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER UNDER THE WARRANTY?
    Before any claims may be made under this Warranty, the original purchaser must have paid in full for the product covered under the Warranty, according to the terms and conditions of the pay-plan defined in the original order. IF THE PURCHASER HAS FAILED TO MAKE FULL PAYMENTS ACCORDING TO THE SPECIFIC PAY PLAN FOR THE PRODUCT, THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE NULLIFIED AND SUNSETTER PRODUCTS SHALL BE RELIEVED FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY. The purchaser agrees and acknowledges that this Warranty agreement constitutes an executory contract.
    • The product must be installed by a Sunsetter Dealer or authorized installer. The purchaser must use care in maintenance, operation, use, and storage of the product in accordance with the instructions contained in the owner's manual (hereinafter “Proper Use”). ANY FAILURE TO INSTALL, MAINTAIN, OPERATE, USE AND STORE THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL WILL NULLIFY THIS WARRANTY AND RELIEVE SUNSETTER PRODUCTS FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY UNDER THIS WARRANTY.
    • Promptly notify SunSetter Products of any claims within the Warranty period of each covered component, as outlined in this document, starting from the date of the original purchase.
    • The purchaser may be required to provide a photograph of any defective parts. The purchaser may also be required to pay a deposit until the defective parts are returned to SunSetter Products for inspection. The purchaser must obtain a return authorization form from SunSetter Products' customer service department prior to the return of any merchandise and after having received such authorization, return the part or product, freight prepaid, to SunSetter Products.
  • WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY?
    The following components of the SunSetter power shade and its accessories are covered under this Warranty, subject to the limitations set forth below. These components have up to a ten (10) year limited warranty from the original date of purchase against manufacturer's defects as outlined below:
    • FRAME, brackets, and associated hardware is warranted for ten (10) years against defects in workmanship and materials under Proper Use.
    • FABRIC is warranted as follows against becoming unusable due to excessive loss of color or strength, under Proper Use and provided that the shade is not subjected to excessive winds.
      • SunSetter Fabrics, Racasens RECScreen 7000P, and Serge Ferrari Soltis Veozip – 10 years, prorated. The first year of the warranty period provides replacement fabric at one hundred percent (100%) of original cost of the fabric. For each year after the first year of the 10-year limited warranty, the warranty coverage is reduced by 10% of the original cost of the fabric, and replacement fabric will be provided upon the purchaser's payment of the prorated amount based on the original cost of the fabric less the reduced amount.
    • ELECTRIC MOTOR warranted for five (5) years not to fail under Proper Use.
    • ACCESSORIES (parts and accessories not included in Items 1, 2, and 3, including the remote control) are warranted for five (5) years not to fail under normal conditions under Proper Use.
  • WHAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY?
    • Any failure of the components or damage to any of them, which results from any intentional or negligent actions, vandalism, improper use or care, by the purchaser or by any other person, is not covered under this Warranty.
    • Product installed by anyone other than a Sunsetter dealer or authorized installer.
    • Sunsetter is not responsible for any claims or issues arising out the improper installation of the product. Any damage to any structure to which the power shade is installed or attached to, or to property or items located above, below or near the power shade is not covered under this Warranty.
    • Labor charges connected with installation of replacement parts are not covered by this Warranty.
    • Freight expenses to and from SunSetter Products related to shipping damaged or replacement parts are not covered by this Warranty and must be paid by the purchaser.
    • Stretching of fabric or damage to any structural component caused by wind in excess of 40 mph or any other weather-related damage are not covered by this warranty.  Note, SunSetter retractable screens are not hurricane rated or designed to withstand high winds and must be in the up position before wind gusts reach 40 mph.  Failure to have your Retractable Screens in the up position in such high wind conditions will void this warranty.
    • The formation and presence of mold and/or mildew is not covered by this Warranty. Mold and mildew will not grow on the acrylic fabric unless there is organic matter (dirt) for the mold or mildew to grow on. To prevent the formation of mold or mildew, the fabric needs to be cleaned according to the maintenance instructions outlined in the owner's manual.
    • Damage to the fabric caused by environmental pollution is not covered under this Warranty.
    • Any modification or addition to the awning structure and support system or to the electric motor will nullify this Warranty and relieve SunSetter Products from any responsibility or liability under this Warranty.
  • GENERAL PROVISIONS AND LIMITATIONS
    • THE WARRANTY REMEDIES GRANTED HEREIN ARE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE PURCHASER. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE APPLICABLE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY.
    • TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SUNSETTER PRODUCTS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO THE PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF WARRANTY OR OTHER BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF SUNSETTER PRODUCTS SHALL HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OR LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH POTENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SUNSETTER PRODUCTS BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF PROFITS AND/OR WAGES.
    • Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
    • This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state.
