3-YEAR FULL WARRANTY ON SEPARATELY SOLD
CONTAINER AND CONTAINER COMPONENTS
1.
WHAT IS COVERED.
Vita-Mix Corporation ("Vitamix") warrants that a container (the "Container"), lid, blade
assembly and/or retainer nut (the ("Container Component") that is purchased separately
from a blender motor-base will be free from defects in material or workmanship and
will withstand wear and tear from ordinary household use for 3 years from the date
of purchase. Vitamix will, within 30 days of receipt of the returned product, repair the
failed Container or Container Component free of charge. If, in Vitamix's sole discretion,
the failed Container or Container Component cannot be repaired, Vitamix will elect to
either (A) replace the Container or Container Component free of charge or (B) refund
the full purchase price to the owner, unless Vitamix receives prior written notice of the
owner's preference.
2.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED.
This Warranty applies only to owners for ordinary household use. This Warranty does
not cover cosmetic changes that do not affect performance, such as discoloration or
the effects of the use of abrasives or cleaners or food build up. This Warranty is only
valid if the Container or container in which the Container Component is installed is used
in accordance with the instructions, warnings and safeguards contained in the owner's
manual.
Vitamix will not be responsible for the cost of any unauthorized warranty repairs.
REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE ARE THE
EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF PURCHASER AND THE SOLE LIABILITY OF VITAMIX
UNDER THIS WARRANTY. NO EMPLOYEE OR REPRESENTATIVE OF VITAMIX IS
AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL WARRANTY OR ANY MODIFICATION
TO THIS WARRANTY WHICH MAY BE BINDING UPON VITAMIX. ACCORDINGLY,
PURCHASER SHOULD NOT RELY UPON ANY ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS MADE
BY ANY EMPLOYEE OR REPRESENTATIVE OF VITAMIX. IN NO EVENT, WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, INDEMNITY, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE),
STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL VITAMIX BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE.
Some states do not allow limits on warranties. In such states, the above limitations may
not apply to you. Outside the U.S.A. and Canada, other warranties may apply.
Grinding certain herbs and spices in the container/cup will result in cosmetic marring
of the container/cup and may cause the blades to wear prematurely. Traces of sand,
coarse gritty and abrasive herbs will also cause the blades to wear prematurely. Herbs
may contain volatile oils, cause the container/cup to retain the oils and cause permanent
discoloration. Your container/cup and blades are not covered under the Vitamix warranty
under these circumstances.
3.
WHAT VOIDS THIS WARRANTY.
Abuse, misuse, negligent use, alteration of the Container or Container Component
or motor base, exposure to abnormal or extreme conditions, or failure to follow the
operating instructions, will void this Warranty.
The Warranty is also void if repairs to the machine, Container, Container Component or
any portion of the blade assembly are performed by someone other than Vitamix or
an authorized Vitamix Service Provider or if any part subject to this Warranty is used in
combination with a motor-base or container that is not expressly authorized by Vitamix.
