Products for use in Canada must be purchased through the Canadian distribution channel to ensure regulatory compliance.
If the product is installed in a motor vehicle, boat or similar mobile facility, you receive the same two year limited warranty, but you must bring the vehicle, boat or mobile facility containing the product to the service shop at your expense or pay the service technician's travel to the location of the product.

Repair without cost to the owner either for material or labour any part of the product, the serial number of which appears on the product, which is found to be defective.

If the product is installed in a motor vehicle, boat or similar mobile facility, you must bring it to the service shop at your expense or pay for the service technician's travel to the location of the product. If we are unable to repair a defective part of the product after a reasonable number of attempts, at our option we may replace the part or the product, or we may provide you a full refund of the purchase price of the product (not including installation or other charges).
This warranty extends to the original purchaser and any succeeding owner of the product for products purchased for ordinary single-family home use.
All service under this limited warranty shall be provided by Fisher & Paykel or its Authorised Service Agent during normal business hours.

We are not responsible for consequential or incidental damages (the cost of repairing or replacing other property damaged if the product is defective or any of your expenses caused if the product is defective). Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
