APQS Warranties

Within the warranty period as set forth above, APQS's obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at its option and sole discretion, any part or parts which it determines to be defective in material or workmanship. Warranted parts shall be returned to APQS, Carroll, IA, with transportation charges prepaid.

 

Parts deemed defective in material or workmanship under this warranty will be repaired or replaced by APQS without charge for parts or labor for the actual repair of such defective parts, except for import duties and/or sales or use taxes, if any, on replacements.

 

This warranty's provisions do not apply to any APQS products or service parts which have been subject to misuse, negligence or accident, or which have been repaired or altered in any way outside of APQS factory service so as (in the sole judgment of APQS) to adversely affect the product's performance, stability or reliability. In addition, this warranty's provisions do not apply to maintenance services provided for APQS products due to normal wear and use, including but not limited to: cleaning, oiling, timing and other mechanical adjustments and maintenance inspections. Replacement of normal service items such as light bulbs, needles, hook assemblies, bobbin cases and belts made in connection with such normal services or required as routine maintenance are not covered under this warranty. Normal deterioration of appearance items (such as paint) due to wear and exposure, or to accessories or service parts sold separately which have been improperly installed, is also excluded from warranty coverage.

 

To the extent allowed by applicable law, THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN FACT OR BY LAW, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE REMEDIES OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS ABOVE SET FORTH ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES UNDER THIS WARRANTY. APQS DISCLAIMS ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT (AND WHETHER FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT WARRANTED, LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, COMMERCIAL LOSS OR ANY OTHER DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY ON THE PART OF APQS TO ANYONE OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER by reason of the manufacture, sale, lease or use of the warranted products and APQS neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection with such warranted products.
