LIMITED WARRANTY ("Warranty")
Chore-Time Group, a division of CTB, Inc. ("Chore-Time") warrants new BROADCASTER® systems ("Product")
manufactured by Chore-Time to be free from defects in material or workmanship under normal usage and conditions, for
One (1) year from the date of purchase by the original purchaser ("Purchaser"). If such a defect is determined by Chore-
Time to exist within the warranty period, the exclusive remedy will be to repair or replace the Product at the sole discretion
of Chore-Time, at no charge to the Purchaser. Labor costs associated with the removal and/or installation of replacement
and/or repaired Product, as well as freight costs, are not covered by this Limited Warranty. This Warranty is not
transferable, and applies only to the Purchaser.
THIS WARRANTY CONSTITUTES CHORE-TIME'S ENTIRE AND SOLE WARRANTY AND CHORE-TIME EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
PARTICULAR PURPOSES. Chore-Time shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special
damages which any Purchaser may suffer or claim to suffer as a result of any defect in the Product. Consequential or
Special Damages as used herein include, but are not limited to, lost or damaged products or goods, costs of transportation,
lost sales, lost orders, lost income, increased overhead, labor and incidental costs, and operational inefficiencies. Some
jurisdictions prohibit limitations on implied warranties and/or the exclusion or limitation of such damages, so these
limitations and exclusions may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives the Purchaser specific legal rights. You may
also have other rights based upon your specific jurisdiction.
The following circumstances will render this Warranty void:
• Modifications made to the Product not specifically delineated in the Product manual.
• Product not installed, tested, and/or operated in accordance with the instructions published by the Chore-Time.
• All components of the Product are not original equipment supplied by Chore-Time.
• Product was not purchased from a Chore-Time authorized distributor or certified representative.
• Product was not installed by a Chore-Time authorized distributor or representative, or a licensed electrician.
• Product experienced malfunction or failure resulting from misuse, abuse, mismanagement, negligence, alteration, acci-
dent, or lack of proper maintenance, or from lightning strikes, electrical power surges or interruption of electricity.
• Product experienced corrosion, material deterioration and/or equipment malfunction caused by or consistent with the
application of chemicals, minerals, sediments or other foreign elements.
• Product was used for any purpose other than for the care of poultry and livestock.
• Product malfunction or failure due to insufficient telephone, wireless, broadband, and/or cellular quality or service, or
due to other equipment connected to the same landline and/or cellular modem line.
This Limited Warranty may only be modified in writing by an officer of Chore-Time. Chore-Time will have no obligation
or responsibility for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of any distributor, dealer, agent or certified
representative.
DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
Compliance with federal, state and local rules which apply to the location, installation and use of the Product are the
responsibility of the Purchaser. Chore-Time will not be liable for any damages which result from non-compliance with such
rules.
Chore-Time does not represent nor warrant that the Product will prevent any loss, damage or injury to person or property, or
that the Product will in all cases provide the protection for which it is installed or intended. Purchaser acknowledges that
Chore-Time is not an insurer, and that Purchaser assumes all risk for loss or injury.
Purchaser acknowledges that signals which are transmitted over the landlines or cellular modem lines or other modes of
communication pass through communication networks wholly beyond the control of Chore-Time, and are not maintained by
Chore-Time, and, therefore, Chore-Time will not be responsible for any Product or communication failure which prevents
transmission signals from reaching the intended telephone numbers.
