WARRANTY
COVERAGE
ZLINE Kitchen and Bath (“ZLINE”) CrownSound
™
crown molding carries a one-year parts
warranty from the original date of product delivery for the original purchaser of the product.
ZLINE warranty periods begin from the original date of product delivery and solely cover
the original purchaser of the product, delivered new and in its original carton. ZLINE will
provide free-of-charge, non-consumable replacement parts for the components that failed
due to manufacturing defects. It is the responsibility of the customer to install all replacement
parts, as ZLINE does not perform service repairs on its range hood products.
ZLINE’s liability is limited to the original purchase price of the product. Additional injuries,
losses, damages, or other inconveniences caused by product malfunction or defects in
materials are not covered under the terms of this warranty.
TERMS
ZLINE warranties apply only to the original purchaser of a ZLINE product installed for normal
residential use. This is defined as a single-family, residential dwelling in a non-commercial
setting. Any warranty claim stemming from installation, operation, or any other use within a
commercial setting is not covered under this limited warranty. Commercial settings include,
but are not limited to: schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, vacation rentals such as Airbnb,
daycare centers, private clubs, fire stations, common areas in multi-family dwellings, nursing
homes, food service locations, and institutional food service locations such as hospitals or
correctional facilities.
This warranty is non-transferable and will not under any circumstance be extended based
on the date of installation — the warranty period takes effect from the date of delivery and
only covers the original purchaser. The warranty applies only to products installed in the
contiguous United States and the District of Columbia.
Out-of-pocket payments will not be reimbursed for replacement parts unless prior approval is
received from ZLINE. Unapproved out-of-pocket payments for parts will not be reimbursed.
Out-of-pockets for any type of service will not be reimbursed, as ZLINE does not perform
service repairs on its range hood products. All warranty procedures must be followed to
maintain warranty coverage.
WARRANTY
If ZLINE is unable to replace the defective part after a reasonable number of attempts, ZLINE
reserves the right to offer to replace the product or provide the original purchaser a full refund
of the purchase price of the product (not including installation, removal, or other charges that
were not included in the original purchase price).
The original purchaser of the product must provide the original proof of purchase, including
the purchase date, when filing a claim to obtain replacement parts or refunds. Additionally,
the original purchaser of the product must provide the serial number of the product when
filing a claim to obtain replacement parts or refunds.
This warranty shall not apply to any ZLINE product in which the original factory serial
number has been removed, altered, or cannot be readily determined for any reason. Further,
ZLINE is not responsible for damage resulting from, but not limited to: shipment, delivery, or
improper installation; negligence or improper maintenance, misuse, or abuse of the product;
unauthorized alteration, modification, or tampering with the product; accident, fire, floods,
pest infestations, pandemics, natural disasters, or any other unpreventable or unexplained
acts of nature, commonly referred to as “acts of God”; flare-up fires or damages caused
by improper electric supply, electrical line current, voltage, or power surges; and service
to correct installation not in accordance with the instructions contained in ZLINE’s product
manuals and/or with local government codes.
Information contained within ZLINE’s installation and user manuals, in addition to product
information included on ZLINE’s website and all related digital listings, do not cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur during the installation or operation of ZLINE
products. ZLINE reserves the right to make changes at any time to its products when considered
safe, necessary, and useful. Always check the ZLINE website for the most up-to-date version
of its product manuals: www.zlinekitchen.com/pages/manuals.
Do not install or operate any ZLINE product if it has missing or broken parts or if it arrives
damaged due to shipping. If ZLINE products arrive damaged, contact ZLINE Customer
Experience at 1-614-777-5004 for help. Failure to report a damaged appliance prior to
installation or operation may void the warranty. ZLINE disclaims responsibility for damage
or injury caused by improper installation or use of any of its products. ZLINE is under no
obligation, by law or otherwise, to provide concessions, including repairs, prorates, rebates,
discounts, or replacements, once the warranty has expired.
