Limited Lifetime Warranty

Sioux Chief Mfg. Co., Inc. ("Seller" or "the Seller") warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal usage for the lifetime of the plumbing system in which they were originally incorporated. In the event of such defects within the warranty period, the Company will, at its option, replace or recondition the product without charge. This remedy shall be effective only if the product was installed in accordance with supplied instructions, common installation or use practices and existing building and plumbing codes and legal requirements; has not been subjected to misuse or abuse; was at all times used in a manner consistent with its intended use; was at all times used in installations and environments acceptable to its material and design specifications; or any express conditions or requirements laid out in company installation instructions, manuals, tech bulletins, special labeling, precautions, as well as other instructional documents and product limitations of use; was never modified, altered or repaired by anyone other than the Seller; was properly subjected to and passed common testing methods (including pressure testing for potable water and drainage systems) immediately after the product’s installation and before the product is put into service, was not damaged by freezing temperatures or excessive heats outside normal working or any express working range of the product; was not subjected to or exposed to direct or indirect chemical exposures; was not subjected to corrosion from atmospheric or environmental degradation (including UV exposure, brackish water, acidic water (pH <6.5), alkaline water (pH >8), contaminated soils, etc.), and was protected from natural causes; was never subjected to improper protection during installation and was handled with all precautions expressly written within company limitation documents or known to the industry; was not subjected to water pressures and flow conditions outside the working limits of the product; was not subject to adverse or aggressive water conditions (during testing, through stagnation or within service life (where service-life is defined by this warranty)) and where any express water condition included within company documents is avoided; and all handling was performed in a manner consistent and known to the industry or taught through company documents, labels, websites, manuals, etc. In addition, Seller shall not be responsible for any incidental, special or consequential damages, including without limitation, lost profits or the cost of repairing or replacing other property which is damaged, other costs resulting from labor charges, delays, vandalism, negligence, fouling caused by foreign material, chemical or any other circumstances over which the Seller has no control. This warranty excludes all costs arising from routine maintenance, including the replacement of any parts required by such maintenance and the replacement of parts required by normal wear and tear. The Seller also reserves the right to modify, alter or improve its product, or parts thereof, at any time without incurring an obligation to notify or modify, alter, improve or replace any product, or parts thereof, previously sold. If, on any occasion, Seller waives any term or condition, this waiver is not to be construed as a continuing waiver. For the purposes of this warranty, the lifetime of the original plumbing system is defined as the lesser of 25 years or the time before the plumbing system was replaced or materially changed; all products with automatically or manually moving parts are excluded from the limited lifetime warranty and carry a 3-year limited warranty, subject to the remaining terms, conditions and limitations of the warranty. Some States do not allow or have other parameters governing limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary from State to State. You should consult applicable state laws to determine your rights.

6. Products which are being phased-out, are obsolete, or were special-order (custom) are not considered normal stock. These items are non-returnable and non-refundable, except in the case of a manufacturer’s defect.

Warranty Procedure - Product & Property

All claims for property or other damage are subject to the following additional terms and procedure:

• If there is a warranty claim on a part that involves property or other damage, Seller should be contacted by phone or in writing directly following the loss, and in no case later than 15 days of the date of alleged claim or failure and before any remediation or alteration of the loss site has been started; any notice beyond this time frame or after work has taken place to repair or change the loss site will materially affect the Seller's ability to adjudicate the claim and will void the warranty.
• The product in claim and/or its installation should not be modified before review by Seller; alteration of the alleged product or installation materially affects the Seller's ability to establish fault and voids the warranty.
• Request a claim form. Submit the completed form to the Seller. Claimant will receive an INC (incident) number from Seller.
• With the INC number, claimant should submit the claim form, including the date of the installation, description of problem, damage, pictures of the product, and repair invoices. This information should be sent to the above address at claimant's expense. Seller will not receive or process a claim without an INC number.
• Seller will contact claimant with next steps, which may include a visit from a site investigator or other representatives of Seller, as Seller reserves the right to investigate all alleged loss sites.

Full Freight Allowance

Sioux Chief will pay freight on all orders to single destinations totaling at least $4,000 Net to locations within the 48 contiguous states (United States of America), at least $7,500 Net to locations within Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico, and at least $3,500 CAD Net to locations within Canada. Sioux Chief will pay freight on HydroTec™ and HydroBlock™ trench drain orders of at least $5,000 Net to locations with the 48 contiguous states.

Processing of Orders

All orders are processed immediately upon receipt and acceptance by Seller. Seller reserves the right to charge back to Buyer costs incurred from order cancellations or changes, and to consider additions as separate orders.
Unless provided in writing by Seller, any dates and/or times quoted by Seller for the delivery of any goods or the performance of any services are estimates and Seller will not be held responsible for any delay. Buyer's receipt of goods or acceptance of services shall constitute a waiver of any claim for delay.
If Buyer requires expedited shipment of “in stock” goods prior to stated lead times on said order, Buyer will be charged $100.00 (USD) for any ‘expedited’ shipping on items up to $1,000.00 (USD) net, or $100.00 (USD) + 2% of net for any ‘expedited’ shipping on items over $1,000.00 (USD) net.

Price Changes

All prices quoted from time to time by Seller are subject to change without notice up to time of shipment. Invoice totals and discounts will be calculated out to the sixth decimal digit. If Buyer fails to give written notice of objection to Sioux Chief's order confirmation within ten (10) days after Buyer's receipt of Sioux Chief's confirmation of the purchase order, the order confirmation pricing becomes binding.
