Remedies
If your FranklinWH System is defective within the warranty period, FranklinWH will, at its
sole discretion, repair or replace your faulty device (aPower/aGate) with an equivalent
product (new or refurbished). The remaining warranty period will be transferred to the
repaired or replacement product. Under no circumstances will the original warranty
period be extended as a result of your FranklinWH product being repaired or replaced.
FranklinWH can also refund you the actual purchase price of the defective products less
reasonable depreciation based on use at the time of the warranty claim when 1)
FranklinWH is unable to provide a replacement and repair is not commercially
practicable or cannot be timely made, or 2) You are willing to accept such a refund.
In the event of a defect, to the extent permitted by law, the above-mentioned repair,
replacement or refund are the sole and exclusive remedies that FranklinWH provide.
FranklinWH's responsibility under this warranty extends to valid service tickets or
replacement requests initiated before the expiration date of the warranty for items and
services covered by the warranty, even if the resolution occurs after the warranty period
has expired. All remaining liability shall terminate upon expiration of the warranty
period.

Normal Wear, Tear, and Cosmetic Issues

• Regular wear, cosmetic imperfections, dents, scratches, glue marks,

  materially affect product performance or reliability. Paint should be limited to
  external application for scratches and small damage as referenced in the
  FranklinWH installation manuals.
  Normal operating noise or vibration that is below 50 dB and does not adversely
  affect system performance or reliability.

Remote Updates and Internet Connectivity

• To maintain the full warranty coverage (12-year or 15-year), your FranklinWH
  System must maintain consistent internet connectivity allowing FranklinWH
  to remotely update system software.
  By installing the FranklinWH System and connecting it to the internet, you agree
  to allow FranklinWH to perform these remote software updates without prior
  notice, which may temporarily interrupt system operation.
  If the FranklinWH System remains disconnected from the internet for more than
  90 consecutive days, FranklinWH will issue a notification requesting
  reconnection. If internet connectivity is not restored, the warranty period will
  automatically reduce to a four-year limited warranty from the initial
  installation date.

Unregistered Products

• FranklinWH Systems must be registered at the time of installation. Systems
  that are not registered upon installation will only be eligible for a four-year
  limited warranty from the installation date.
