Company approval.
COMPANY OBLIGATION: Repair of the original tank or replacement of the
entire heater with a new comparable model is at the option of the Company
and constitutes the fulfillment of ALL obligations of the Company hereunder. In
replacing or repairing the Alliance SL or Alliance LT water heater, the Company
reserves the right to make such changes in details of design, construction or
material as shall in their judgment constitute an improvement of former practices.
REPLACEMENT: When a replacement is made under the terms of this warranty, the

the remaining time under the original warranty. The Company reserves the right to
require the return of the defective unit at the expense of the purchaser.
LIMITATION: The duration of the tank replacement warranty on the tank assembly
shall be reduced to a period of five years if (1) the purchaser is a business,
partnership or corporation, or if (2) the Alliance SL or Alliance LT water heater is
used for a commercial, institutional, industrial, non-residential or multi-application,
or (3) if the covered tank model is an AL119SL, AL70CSL, AL80CLT, or AL119CLT

follow commercial warranty terms. All repairs or replacements will be made F.O.B.
the Company. The purchaser must pay for transportation service, labor, installation,
administrative fees or other costs involving the repair or replacement of such part.

The Company shall pay up to a maximum of $200, for the labor to exchange a
tank that is leaking due to the corrosive effects of water within two years from date
of installation. This labor allowance is for tank replacement only, and not for any
service work on the heater such as cleaning of the heat exchanger (due to the build-
up of calcium or other minerals or metals), leakage from plumbing connections,
relief valves, heat exchanger gaskets, thermostats, or any other component of
the heater. This labor must be performed by a qualified installer. Proof of labor
costs may be required as a condition of payment of the Tank Replacement Labor
Allowance.
LIMITATION: All other repairs or replacements will be made F.O.B the Company.
The purchaser must pay for all transportation, service, labor, installation,

EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS:
Limited Warranty and Tank Replacement Warranty are valid only if you comply with
the following conditions and limitations:
1. The Alliance SL or Alliance LT water heater is correctly installed according to the
installation manual provided with the unit and all applicable local and national
codes.
2. The unit is operated within the factory calibrated temperature limits and water
pressure not exceeding 150 psi.
3. Any failure or malfunction that does not result from improper or negligent
operation, accident, abuse (including freezing), misuse, unauthorized alteration
or improper maintenance.
4. Any failure or malfunction that does not result from failure to keep the tank full
of potable water, free to circulate at all times; and free of damaging water sedi-
ment or scale deposits. In areas where adverse water conditions are suspected
(i.e. calcium and other minerals), it is essential that the water be tested and
appropriate action be taken to prevent damage to the Alliance SL or Alliance LT
tank. It may be necessary to remove the heat exchanger for cleaning to maintain
maximum performance in poor water areas. Diminished performance due to the
build-up of calcium or other minerals, metals, or deposits on the heat exchanger
is specifically not included in the coverage of these warranties.
5. THE FOREGOING EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTIES ARE THE ONLY WARRAN-
TIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE NO EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICU-
LAR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR OTHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SET
FORTH HEREIN, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE PRODUCT OR ITS OR

PRODUCT.
6. The remedies set forth above shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for breach
of any warranty.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER.
Consumer Notifications: The foregoing warranty limitations shall be effective to
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and, to the extent that any such
limitations would have an unconscionable result or would otherwise be inconsistent
with applicable law, such provision shall be reformed to the extent necessary to
avoid such unconscionable result or inconsistency. With respect to the limitations
on implied warranties set forth above, the Company hereby notifies each person to
whom such warranty is made as follows: Some states do not allow exclusions of
such warranties, limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations, or
exclusions, may not apply to you. The limited warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
