What is Covered?

This Warranty is provided by Big Ass Fans of 2348 Innovation Drive, Lexington, KY, USA, and covers any defects in materials or workmanship under normal use and maintenance that adversely affect the ability of the fan to operate properly when the product is installed correctly according to Big Ass Fans' written installation instructions and operated pursuant to these instructions, and when such fans are purchased directly from Big Ass Fans or a Big Ass Fans Authorized Dealer.

Who is Covered?

This Warranty extends to the original purchaser and subsequent owners, but only while the fan remains at the site of the original installation. This Warranty extends through the first installation of the fan and terminates if the fan is moved or reinstalled at a new location. This Warranty is only valid within the 50 states of the United States and the District of Columbia, the 10 Canadian Provinces and Territories, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia.

What Will Big Ass Fans Do?

1. During the Warranty Period, Big Ass Fans will, at its option and cost:
   • Repair or replace the affected components of any defective product;
   • Repair or replace the defective product; or
   • Refund the price you paid for the product upon return of the product to Big Ass Fans, shipping and insurance prepaid.

Big Ass Fans will ship the repaired product or replacement to you at no charge; however, you are responsible for all costs of removal, reinstallation, and shipping of the product to the Big Ass Fans Service Center. If a certified electrician is required by law to hang or replace the fan, Big Ass Fans will reimburse you a standard fee of the equivalent of US $100.00 (inc. GST).

If you are a consumer within the meaning of Australian Consumer Law, Big Ass Fans provides additional warranties in accordance with Australian Consumer Law. Consumers are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. Consumers are also entitled to have the goods repaired, or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. Subject to Australian Consumer Law, where goods supplied are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, our liability is limited to refunding the price or replacing or repairing the goods (at our option) and we exclude liability for indirect or consequential loss (indirect, special, consequential or exemplary damages or losses, including loss of opportunity, revenue, profit, contract, goodwill and loss arising from business interruption, e.g., contractor time on site).

The foregoing constitutes your exclusive remedy and the limit of liability for Big Ass Fans, and for any and all losses in connection with this product, except where required by law (see "Additional Rights").

What Steps Are Required to Obtain Warranty Service?

You must have proof of purchase of the ceiling fan to obtain limited warranty service. Keep your receipt or other proof of purchase. Contact the Big Ass Fans Technical Support Department as soon as possible after the issue is discovered by:

1. Visiting the Big Ass Fans website and submitting a technical support form; or
2. Calling the Technical Support phone number listed for your region.

If the Big Ass Fans Technical Service Representative determines that the warranty claim may be valid and that a replacement part or product is required, he or she will process the claim. You will be responsible for shipping the product and all insurance, freight, or other transportation charges to the relevant Big Ass Fans Service Center. Your product should be properly packed to avoid damage in transit since Big Ass Fans will not be responsible for such damage.

Big Ass Fans will ship the repaired product or replacement to you at no charge; however, you are responsible for the cost of removal and reinstallation. Big Ass Fans reserves the right to use refurbished components in the repair of your fan.

Conditions

1. Big Ass Fans reserves the right to make the final determination, based on its own evaluation of the fan and all its components, as to whether:
   • The problem in question is the result of a defect in design, workmanship, or materials, and not a result of error, misuse, or abuse on the part of the customer as set forth under the exclusions detailed in this Warranty;
   • Noise heard during operation is within normal operating levels, in which case this Warranty would be inapplicable. Note: Certain electrical, motor, or other operating noise may be impossible to eliminate due to the fan design and/or site conditions. Dissatisfaction with normal operating noise levels is not covered by this Warranty, and return of any fans for this reason will be subject to Big Ass Fans' Return Policy.
   • Adverse site conditions, (including, but not limited to, excessive dust, heat, humidity, unstable electric service, or any other unknown or unforeseen condition that affects the proper operation of the products) improper application, or improper installation is determined to be the basis for the failure.
   • The problem or defect is material and requires action under this Warranty; and
   • The remedy of repair, replacement, or refund is appropriate.
2. If Big Ass Fans determines, in its sole discretion, that the appropriate remedy under the Warranty is a refund, the refund amount will be limited to the price paid by the customer for the product alone, and under no circumstances will it include the cost of labor, shipping, handling, packaging, or any other incidental or consequential costs incurred or anticipated by the customer, except where required by law.
3. With respect to replacement or repair rendered, Big Ass Fans reserves the right to use replacement parts that are refurbished. Big Ass Fans warrants that the parts replaced or repaired, whether or not they have been refurbished or are original equipment, will operate properly and be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days from the date of shipment to the customer, as required by law, or for the remainder of the original warranty period, whichever is longer.
4. A service fee, parts replacement fee, and shipping charges may be imposed if any fan is returned for warranty service that is missing components or that has been modified in any way. Such fees and charges will vary based upon the actual material and labor costs necessary to replace missing or modified parts and to return the fan to its original factory condition.

If the manufacturer of such component determines that there was no defect and therefore refuses to cover it under warranty, Big Ass Fans likewise will not warranty such item unless Big Ass Fans determines that the failure of such electrical or electronic component was the result of a defect of design, workmanship, or material within some other part of the products.

Incidental damages include but are not limited to such damages as loss of time and loss of use.

Big Ass Fans does not warrant or guarantee the elimination of any particular pathogens or microbes when UV-C technology is incorporated into the fan system, as operating conditions are outside of our control.
