Noritz America Corporation LIMITED WARRANTY - TANKLESS WATER HEATERS
1. What is Covered by this Warranty During the applicable Warranty Period (specified below), Noritz America Corporation (“Noritz“) warrants to the original
purchaser (“Buyer”) that the new Noritz gas water heater in the originally installed location (“Product”) is free from material defects in material or workmanship
(the “Warranty”). This Warranty is for the benefit of the original Buyer only and terminates upon transfer of the Product from the original Buyer to any other
person or entity. For this Warranty to be effective (i) the Product must be installed by a method recognized and authorized by Noritz and in compliance with
Noritz published materials specifically indicated in writing to be applicable to the type and model number of the Product and in compliance with instructions in
the Installation Manual and Owner’s Guide, which are included with the Product (“Proper Installation”); and (ii) Buyer must use the Product in compliance with
instructions in the Installation Manual and Owner’s Guide, which are included with the Product.
2. Warranty Period This Warranty is provided by Noritz to the Buyer for the duration of the applicable Warranty Period. This Warranty takes effect (“Warranty
Effective Date”) on the date of Proper Installation of the Product, or 30 days after the date of purchase of the Product, whichever occurs first, and is effective
until the expiration of the “Warranty Period” for the particular Product component as shown below. The date of Proper Installation must be provided to Noritz as
well as a copy of the original receipt for the purchase of the Product to establish the Warranty Effective Date. For example, when the Product is installed in new
single-family residential construction, the Warranty Effective Date is the date upon which the Buyer takes title to the real property (e.g., the date of recordation
of the deed conveying title to Buyer).

3. How do I Use this Warranty? If Buyer discovers, within the applicable Warranty Period, a defect in material or workmanship (“Defect”), Buyer must promptly
notify Noritz or its authorized representative. Please notify Noritz by contacting Noritz’s Customer Care at [e-mail], or by writing to Noritz Customer
Care at 11160 Grace Avenue, Fountain Valley, CA 92708, or by calling Noritz Customer Care at 866-766-7489. Buyer must provide evidence of the Warranty
Effective Date (See Section 2 above). Within a reasonable time after Noritz receives such notification, Noritz will ship at Noritz’s expense, either new or
used/refurbished replacement parts to correct a Noritz-confirmed Defect. Buyer is responsible for any other costs, including but not limited to labor for servicing
or replacing the part or Product (except to the extent that labor is covered as described in the Warranty Period section above), costs for permits or materials
necessary for the repair or replacement, or incidental costs resulting from damage external to the Product resulting from the Defect. The replacement
component or Product will be warranted only for the unexpired portion of the original component's applicable Warranty Period. If during the applicable
Warranty Period, the Noritz-provided new or used replacement parts, when properly installed, do not correct the Defect, or if Noritz is unable to correct the
Defect after a reasonable number of attempts, Noritz will provide, at its option, one of the following: (i) a replacement new or used/refurbished Product (at
Noritz’s option, either the same, comparable or better model), to be shipped at Noritz’s expense, or (ii) a full refund of the purchase price paid for the Product
(excluding labor or installation costs). These remedies are the Buyer’s only remedies for breach of Warranty.

THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. NORITZ DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS
OR LIABILITIES ON ITS PART AND NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY TO BIND OR ASSUME FOR NORITZ ANY OTHER LIABILITIES
IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT. THIS WARRANTY ONLY COVERS REPLACEMENT PRODUCT OR PARTS THEREOF, AND EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, DOES NOT COVER THE COST OF LABOR OR SERVICES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
6. LIMITATION OF REMEDIES NORITZ’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE WHICH YOU PAID FOR THE
PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT WILL NORITZ BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BASED ON BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF
CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. DAMAGES THAT NORITZ WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED
TO: LOSS OF PROFITS; LOSS OF SAVINGS OR REVENUE; LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT; COST OF CAPITAL; COST OF ANY
SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT, FACILITIES, OR SERVICES; DOWNTIME; THE CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING CUSTOMERS; AND INJURY TO PROPERTY.
