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 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.

potable water, free to circulate at all times; and free of damaging water sediment
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 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.

WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THERE ARE
NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, PERFORMANCE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT,
OR OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. EXCEPT FOR THE

ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
REGARDING THE PRODUCT OR ITS OR THEIR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ITS OR THEIR MERCHANTABILITY.

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.
