6. Regarding damages or repairs arising from any external perils, out of Comfortside’s control, acts of nature such as fires, storms, accidents, floods, broken or frozen water pipes, electrical surges, input power with under or overvoltage, lightning, or existence of corrosive substances nearby. 
7. Regarding damages or repairs arising from use of non-compatible parts, third-party components, alterations, modifications, or improper applications.

Warranty Begin Date: Warranty begins on the date of registration. 

Warranty End Date: Products that have not been registered as instructed above are not covered under Warranty. The length of your Warranty depends on the specific model unit you have purchased. Information on Warranty length is available online, by visiting armbridge.us  As further explained below in detail, coverage is only for the original registered user who owns and resides in the dwelling or operates business in the property in which the product is installed. 

Remaining Warranty: Any part, component or product that is replaced under the terms of the Warranty, will be covered under the same Warranty for the duration in which the original Warranty for the product is applicable. 

Warranty Procedure: Comfortside will furnish a new or refurbished part, without any charge for the part itself, for the replacement of any part that has been determined to have failed, by Comfortside at its sole discretion, due to defects in its materials or workmanship under standard use and proper maintenance. The payment of the shipping costs for the part will be the sole responsibility of the owner of the product. Comfortside reserves the right to ask the owner of the product to return the failed part before or after a replacement part is sent out. The product owner or technician should contact Comfortside Technical Support at (800) 977-0722, Monday to Friday from 9AM to 8PM Eastern Time, while the technician is on site, servicing the unit. The product may or may not display error codes. The technician should be on site while troubleshooting with the Comfortside Technical Support Agent so he or she can address symptoms observed, specific electrical and mechanical measurements, and other detailed information that may be required for proper diagnosis. 

While technicians may refer to Comfortside’s website or YouTube channel for helpful information, such as manuals and videos based on certain error codes, the technician will need to troubleshoot with the Technical Support Agent for Warranty purposes. Comfortside is not able to remotely diagnose a product and or offer remedies, without proper diagnosis results.   

When contacting Technical Support, a licensed technician must be onsite, and the following information needs to be provided: 

• The Serial Number of the unit. o The product purchase invoice and an installation invoice from licensed HVAC technician. 
• Case number (if applicable) provided during previous Technical Support call(s). o Comfortside may ask for photos and/or other diagnostic information it deems necessary prior to processing the Warranty claim. 

It should be noted that Comfortside Technical Support Agents troubleshoot on a case-by-case basis, following best practices and procedures to diagnose problems and solutions. Through this process, it is most efficient to diagnose one issue or error code at a time. It is possible that the first suggested solution may or may not solve one problem of multiple failures, in which case the Technician will continue through troubleshooting for remaining issues/error codes. 

Labor cost, materials, and other costs: Any labor costs and/or the costs for the supplies or materials used or purchased in the field for the replacement of the defective part, remain the responsibility of the owner. No other costs involved in diagnosis, lodging, transportation, servicing, repair, replacement, installation, removal, shipping, etc., are to be covered under the Warranty.  

Refrigerant: Any costs related to charging, recharging, adjustment, or removal of refrigerant, and the cost of the refrigerant itself, are not covered under any circumstances. All products go through vigorous quality controls at various stations and leave the factory in perfect working and sealed condition. Products are individually tested in highly sensitive helium vacuum chambers for existence of refrigerant leaks Comfortside does not cover any claims related to the lack of refrigerant in new products, discovered upon arrival, or during installation, as well as subsequent refrigerant loss occurring at any time afterward. 

This Warranty is not transferable. No person or entity is authorized to change the terms and conditions outlined in this Warranty agreement, in any respect, nor to create any additional obligations or liabilities for any party involved. 

This warranty agreement supersedes all prior warranty agreements between the parties and constitutes the complete, final, and exclusive understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter. All prior negotiations, representations, or promises, whether oral or written, of either party shall be deemed to have been merged herein. 

If any part of this Warranty Agreement shall be invalidated for any reason, such part shall be deleted, and the remainder shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. This Warranty provides you certain legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from State to State. Therefore, some of these limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. 

States with Express and Implied Warranties: Products in states with Express and Implied Warranties do not need to be registered for Comfortside Warranty. However, for Warranty support, installation invoice should be provided.

Warranty Period and Extended Warranty: 

Armbridge HVAC systems are covered under a defined warranty structure consisting of both an Out-of-the-Box Warranty and an Extended Warranty option. These warranty periods establish the duration and conditions under which Armbridge will provide parts and compressor coverage for qualifying systems. 

Out-of-the-Box Warranty 

All Armbridge HVAC systems include an Out-of-the-Box Warranty, which provides five (5) years of parts coverage and five (5) years of compressor coverage. The warranty period begins on the date of manufacture and shipment from the customer’s local distributor, as documented in Armbridge’s production and distribution records. This warranty applies exclusively to eligible Armbridge systems and remains subject to all standard terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions set forth in this policy. No registration is required for Out-of-the-Box coverage; however, proof of system age and distribution date may be required to validate eligibility. 

Extended Warranty 

Armbridge HVAC systems may also qualify for an Extended Warranty, which provides ten (10) years of parts coverage and ten (10) years of compressor coverage. Activation of the Extended Warranty is contingent upon the customer completing the official warranty registration process on the Armbridge website. The Extended Warranty period becomes effective only after successful registration and verification by Armbridge. Failure to register the system within the required timeframe will result in the system remaining under the standard Out-of-the-Box Warranty only. All Extended Warranty benefits are governed by the same terms, conditions, and exclusions applicable to the standard warranty, unless otherwise specified. 

Both warranty periods are non-transferable, apply solely to the original installation location, and require that the system be installed and maintained in accordance with Armbridge’s published installation guidelines, operating instructions, and service requirements.
