(see your distributor to file warranty claim)
Ground Heaters, Inc. warrants that the Products described in this Limited Warranty shall be free of
defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of one year from

defective Product or to repairing or replacing the defective Product, at the sole option of Ground
Heaters, Inc. This warranty shall not extend to any repair work performed by anyone other than

or replacement shall be Ground Heaters, Inc.’s sole obligation and buyer’s exclusive remedy
hereunder and shall be conditioned upon Ground Heaters, Inc.’s timely receipt of warranty claim of
the alleged defect and, at Ground Heaters, Inc.’s option, return of such product to Ground Heaters,
Inc., FOB its Spring Lake, Michigan, facility. Any warranty claims received after 13 months from

its essential purpose provided Ground Heaters, Inc. is willing and able to repair or replace the
defective Product or to credit the purchase price within 90 days of the date on which Ground
Heaters, Inc. confirms that such products are defective. Use of repair or replacement parts not

is based. The existence of a defect shall be determined by Ground Heaters, Inc. in its sole
discretion.

TRANSFER FLUID VOIDS THIS WARRANTY IN ITS ENTIRETY.
