Limited Lifetime Warranty Policy
Limited Warranty. Chase Research products carry a limited lifetime parts and labour warranty, that is, Chase Research warrants each new product to be free from defective materials and workmanship and agree to remedy any such defect either by repair or replacement, at Chase Research's discretion, of any unit of Chase Research's manufacture, which under normal installation, use and service, exhibits such defect: provided that the unit is delivered to Chase Research or to a Chase Research authorised service centre, intact, for Chase Research examination, with all transportation charges prepaid, within the serviceable lifetime of the product for which it was purchased by its original purchaser and provided that such examination discloses, in Chase Research's judgement, that it is thus defective. Repair or replacement of the defective part will be sole remedy available under this limited warranty.

The lifetime is the serviceable life of the product. This is defined as the period during which spare parts (components) are available or for a minimum of two years which ever is the longer.
