Warranty Details
- Warranty does not apply to any ClaroLux® Products that have been subjected to misuse, mishandling, misapplication, neglect (including but not limited to improper maintenance), accident, vandalism, improper installation, improper packaging of ClaroLux® Products returned to ClaroLux®, modification (including but not limited to use of unauthorized parts or attachments), or adjustment, modifications or repair by someone other than ClaroLux®.
- Warranty does not cover damage due to power surges, power spikes, or the application of voltages outside the acceptable range of voltages as defined in product specifications and instructions. Also not covered, is the application of DC (direct current) power when AC (alternating current) power is required (or vice versa), and the use of non-approved electronic transformers and electronic dimmers.
- Warranty does not cover ‘Acts of God’ such as lightning, floods, hail, tornado, fire, earthquake, hurricanes, and exposure to extreme weather events.
- Warranty does not cover water damage to ClaroLux® Products (not specifically sold as ClaroLux® Underwater Products) that have been submerged in water, mounted in an incorrect orientation, improperly assembled, or been subject to excessive contact with water spray from irrigation nozzles or water drainage flows.
- Transformers must be installed according to provided instructions – evidence of improper mounting or wiring voids the warranty. Transformer housings, when mounted on oceanfront properties must be protected from direct contact with airborne salt or salt spray.
- It is normal for natural brass and copper finishes to patina, oxidize, and change colors. It is also normal for other types of finishes such as powder coatings to discolor or blister when exposed to sunlight, irrigation systems, reclaimed water, sea water, acid rain, and other sources of aggressive agents. These coatings may also be affected by physical factors resulting in damage to the coatings. These changes are not covered by warranty. The warranty does not cover normal patina or discoloration of finishes on fixtures, including residue build ups from outside contaminants, as this is normal for natural metals and part of the normal transformation of solid brass and copper in outdoor environments. ClaroLux® solid brass and copper fixtures can be cleaned with metal cleaner for those customers who have hard water stains or do not like natural patina.
- These warranties extend only to the Product ownership by the original purchaser and are void when the original purchaser ceases to own the Product. These warranties are not transferable whether to heirs, subsequent owners, or otherwise.
