RITCHIE INDUSTRIES, INC.
LIMITED WARRANTY

Ritchie Industries, Inc., hereinafter referred to as Ritchie Industries, gives a LIMITED
WARRANTY for the period of time(s) stated herein, subject to certain limitations, on your new
watering system against defects in material or workmanship when properly installed, set up,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the instructions and recommendations set forth by
Ritchie Industries, including in the Installation Instructions. The warranty excludes labor and
shipping charges.

The warranty is transferable to the next purchaser of the watering system prior to expiration of the warranty period, but any such transfer will not extend the original warranty term. Proof of purchase must be submitted with any warranty claim, and all warranty claims shall be processed through an Authorized Ritchie Dealer or Distributor.

Ritchie Industries’ liability for any defects in material or workmanship with respect to accepted goods shall be limited to repairing the goods or replacing them as Ritchie Industries shall elect. Parts used in warranty repairs will be warranted for the balance of the water system’s warranty period, with all parts replaced under warranty becoming the property of Ritchie Industries.

The limited warranty periods begin upon delivery of the watering system to the original purchaser. Upon delivery of the goods, purchaser assumes all liability, including but not limited for all personal injury and property damage, resulting from the handling, possession, or use of the goods.
