Warranty (certificate)

To register your warranty, you should complete and return the enclosed 
warranty card after which a warranty certificate will be sent to you. This 
certificate gives the owner of a appliance supplied by A.O. Smith Water 
Products Company B.V. of Veldhoven, The Netherlands (hereinafter "A.O. 
Smith") the right to the warranty set out below, defining the commitments of A.O. 
Smith to the owner.

13.1 General warranty

If within one year of the original installation date of a water heater supplied by 
A.O. Smith, following verification, and at the sole discretion of A.O. Smith, a 
section or part (with exclusion of the tank) proves to be defective or fails to 
function correctly due to manufacturing and/or material defects, then A.O. Smith 
shall repair or replace this section or part.

13.2 Tank warranty

If within 3 years of the original installation date of a water heater supplied by 
A.O. Smith, following inspection, and at the sole discretion of A.O. Smith, the 
glass-lined steel tank proves to be leaking due to rust or corrosion occurring on 
the water side, then A.O. Smith shall offer to replace the defective water heater 
with an entirely new water heater of equivalent size and quality. The warranty 
period given on the replacement water heater shall be equal to the remaining 
warranty period of the original water heater that was supplied. Notwithstanding 
that stated earlier in this article, in the event that unfiltered or softened water is 
used, or allowed to stand in the water heater, the warranty shall be reduced to 
one year from the original installation date.
