Limited Warranty

Warranty

ThermoGenesis warrants to the original purchaser that the unit will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of shipment. Equipment failure due to reasons other than manufacturing defects such as accident, misuse or failure to timely perform scheduled maintenance in accordance with the maintenance schedule included with the operating instructions for the unit is excluded from Warranty coverage. This Warranty covers the cost of parts needed to make Warranty repairs. ThermoGenesis reserves the right to replace any malfunctioning unit or part with a new or refurbished unit in lieu of repairing such unit. This Warranty and ThermoGenesis’ obligation to repair or replace defective parts is the sole and exclusive remedy of purchaser. Under no circumstances shall ThermoGenesis be liable for consequential or economic damages that might arise from a defective part.

ThermoGenesis warranties, as set forth herein, are exclusive and are in lieu of, and purchaser hereby waives, all other warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, any implied warranties of merchantability of fitness for a particular purpose or warranty of non-infringement.

Procedure

If Warranty repairs are needed, contact the vendor or ImmuneCyte from which you purchased your ThermoGenesis product(s), or if you purchased directly from ThermoGenesis or are unable to locate the appropriate vendor/ImmuneCyte, contact ThermoGenesis directly at ThermoGenesis, 2711 Citrus Road, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742, Telephone: (916) 858-5100 or (800) 783-8357 in the U.S.; Fax: (916) 858-5199. For emergency repairs at night or on weekends or holidays, contact your ThermoGenesis Authorized Service Provider (“Service Provider”) directly and notify ThermoGenesis on the next business day. Failure to notify ThermoGenesis on the next business day after a request for emergency repairs may result in denial of coverage for that service call. When calling for service have available: (1) detailed information about the problem; (2) the serial number of the unit; (3) the service record for the unit; (4) the date and place of purchase of the unit.

Limitations. Equipment or spare part malfunctions other than those caused by defects in materials or workmanship, including malfunctions caused by misuse, accident or failure to perform scheduled maintenance, are excluded from coverage. Any alterations or modifications made to the unit (other than modifications or alterations made by ThermoGenesis) render the warranty null and void. ThermoGenesis will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental damages resulting from equipment malfunction or loss of use of the equipment. ThermoGenesis may authorize independent contractors to perform service. Service providers are independent contractors, not ThermoGenesis employees; consequently, ThermoGenesis is not responsible for the acts or omissions of the service providers, including without limitation, failure by a service provider to respond to calls for emergency service in a timely fashion.
