purchased Empire electric fireplace. This
limited warranty applies only to purchases

Products purchased in Hawaii or Alaska

What this limited warranty covers and for
how long
Products, other than fireplace surrounds

warrants such products to be free from
defects in material and workmanship for a
period of 2 years from the date of the first

Empire fireplace surrounds (mantels) and
trims covered by this limited warranty have
been tested and inspected prior to shipment and, subject to the provisions of this

the date of first purchase of such products.
The limited 2 year warranty period for
products other than fireplace surrounds
(mantels) and trims and the limited 1 year
warranty period for fireplace surrounds
(mantels) and trims also applies to any
implied warranties that may exist under
applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not
allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may
not apply to the purchaser.

This limited warranty does not apply to

In the event a product or part covered by
this limited warranty is proven to be defective in material or workmanship during (i)
the 2 year limited warranty period for products other than fireplace surrounds (mantels) and trims, and (ii) the 1 year limited
warranty period for surrounds (mantels)

or part, or if repair or replacement is
not commercially practicable or cannot

repair or replacement, choose to refund
the purchase price for such product or
part.
- Limited warranty service will be performed solely by dealers or service
agents of Empire authorized to provide limited warranty services.
- For products other than surrounds
(mantels) and trims, this 2 year limited
warranty entitles the purchaser to onsite or in-home warranty services. Accordingly, Empire will be responsible for
all labour and transportation associated
with repairing or replacing the product
or part except as follows: (i) charges
which may be levied for travel costs
incurred to travel to the purchaser’s

km) from the closest service depot of
Empire’s dealer or service agent; and
(ii) the purchaser is solely responsible
for providing clear access to all serviceable parts of the product.
- For surrounds (mantels) and trims, this
1 year limited warranty does not entitle
the purchaser to on-site or in-house
warranty services. The purchaser is
responsible for removal and transportation of the surrounds (mantels) and
trims (and any repaired or replacement
product or part) to and from the authorized dealer’s or service agent’s place
of business. On-site or in-home services
for surrounds (mantels) and trims may
be performed at the purchaser’s specific request and expense at Empire’s
then current rates for such services.
Empire will not be responsible for, and
this limited warranty shall not include,
any expense incurred for installation
or removal of the surrounds (mantels)
or trims or any part thereof (or any replacement product or part) including,
without limitation, all shipping costs and
transportation costs to and from the

place of business and all labour costs.
Such costs shall be the purchaser’s responsibility.
What Empire and its dealers and service
agents are also not responsible for:
IN NO EVENT WILL EMPIRE, OR ITS
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR AGENTS,
BE LIABLE TO THE PURCHASER OR
ANY THIRD PARTY. WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT, OR ON ANY OTHER
BASIS, FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL LOSS, COST,
OR DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, MAINTENANCE, USE, OR INABILITY TO
USE THE PRODUCT, EVEN IF EMPIRE
OR ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR
AGENTS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES,
COSTS OR DAMAGES, OR IF SUCH
LOSSES, COSTS, OR DAMAGES ARE
FORESEEABLE. IN NO EVENT WILL EMPIRE, OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT LOSSES, COSTS, OR DAMAGES

EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO THE
PURCHASER.
