If any Product manufactured by Vollrath is found to not conform to the warranty set forth above, Vollrath’s sole obligation is to repair or, at Vollrath’s option, replace the Product.

NO OTHER WARRANTIES

THE ABOVE WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE. VOLLRATH PROVIDES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO MODIFICATION OR WAIVER OF ANY PROVISIONS OF THIS WARRANTY IS BINDING ON VOLLRATH UNLESS CONTAINED IN A WRITING SIGNED BY AN OFFICER OF VOLLRATH.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL VOLLRATH BE LIABLE TO THE ORIGINAL END USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE SALE, USE OR INSTALLATION OF THE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR LABOR COSTS.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

• Warranty work must be authorized in advance by Vollrath.

• The original end-user must contact the Vollrath Technical Service support line at telephone number (800) 628-0832. The caller must have access to the product when the call is placed.

• The technical service representative will work with the end-user over the phone to diagnose the issue and provide a service solution. Issues that cannot be resolved over the phone may require the assistance of a Vollrath-authorized service agent. Service solutions may include:

  • Repair by Vollrath or an authorized service agent.

  • If, in Vollrath’s judgment, repair is not possible or feasible, Vollrath will replace the Product. If Vollrath replaces the Product, Vollrath may request the end-user to return the original Product to Vollrath. Failure to promptly return the requested original Product will result in the end-user being billed for it. Vollrath will provide free shipping for the return of the requested original Product.

If Vollrath or the service agent determines the issue is not covered by the warranty, the end-user will be charged for all service related charges, including parts, diagnosis, repair and service agent travel.
