WARRANTY COVERAGE
Subject to the terms and conditions herein, if, during the Warranty
Period, a Covered Component in the Equipment fails solely because
of a manufacturing defect, Lennox will provide a replacement
component to the Owner through a Lennox dealer or other licensed
HVAC contractor. The Owner will be responsible for all shipping,
freight, and handling charges, as well as all fees and costs arising
out of or relating to the warranty service, including, but not limited to,
all trip charges, labor costs, and other costs involved in diagnostic
calls or in removing, repairing, servicing, or replacing any component.
For a period of 90 days after a warranty claim is filed under this
Basic Limited Warranty, the Owner is responsible for surrendering
the failed component(s) to Lennox upon request. Lennox’ sole
responsibility under this Basic Limited Warranty is to provide a
replacement component as set forth above. In the event that any
Covered Component is no longer available, Lennox will, at its option,
provide a substitute component or allow the Owner to purchase
equivalent Lennox equipment at a reduced price off the Lennox list
price in effect on the date of the failure. Replacement equipment
must be purchased through and installed by an independent Lennox
dealer listed at www.lennox.com.
Both Lennox and the Owner of the Equipment are bound by this
