Allen Engineering Corporation (“Allen”) warrants its products to be free of defects in material or workmanship for:
TWO YEARS FROM END USER’S DATE OF PURCHASE, SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS AND SHORTER WARRANTY PERIODS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The warranty period begins on the date of purchase by the End User of the product. All warranty is based on the following limited warranty terms and conditions, including the disclaimer of all implied warranties of any type and the disclaimer of consequential damages.
1. Allen’s obligation and liability under this warranty are limited to repairing or replacing parts if, after Allen’s inspection, there is determined to be a defect in material or workmanship. Allen reserves the choice to repair or replace.
2. All warranty-related parts must be purchased in advance through an Allen dealer. The parts will be made available to the Allen Distributor, Dealer, or Rental Center from whom the End User purchased the product. For machines being prepared, a warranty request form and/ or RGA request form must be submitted to AEC after the repairs are completed.
3. Replacement warranty parts, installed in the product, are warranted only for the remainder of the warranty period of the product as though they were the original parts.

Allen specifically excludes from warranty any damage to any trowels resulting from a drop or impact to the rotors.
