Warranty

4. If the product, or one of its parts, qualifies for replacement or service under the warranty, Taiahiro will send a pre-paid shipping label so that the product may be sent to Taiahiro at no cost to you. Upon receipt of the product, Taiahiro may ship the replacement or contact you with further information regarding repair of the product. Typical turnaround time to address warranty claims is up to 10 business days, plus shipping, depending on your geographical location and type of damage or warranty claim.

5. For additional protection of the product and to ensure secure handling while a product is being returned, Taiahiro recommends that you use Taiahiro’s shipping label or a traceable, insured delivery service. Taiahiro is not responsible for any damage while a product is in transit.

 

 

INTRODUCTION TO THE WARRANTY

 

Taiahiro” as used herein, shall mean either Taiahiro USA or Taiahiro Canada, as applicable to the Jurisdiction of original purchase of the product for which warranty coverage or service is being sought.

“Jurisdiction” shall mean either:

(i) the fifty United States and the District of Columbia only, not including any other U.S. territories, commonwealths, possessions or protectorates (“USA”), or

(ii) a province or territory of Canada (“Canada”, together with the USA, collectively referred to as “North America”),

in each case of Sections (i) and (ii) above, as applicable to the consumer purchasing Taiahiro Products (as defined below).

 

TERMS OF WARRANTY COVERAGE

 

Taiahiro provides the warranty coverage as further described below and limited to the terms and conditions hereof:

1. Taiahiro hereby provides a limited non-transferable product warranty (the “warranty”) from the date of purchase, or if you are a resident of California, from the date of delivery, of the subject product against defects in product materials or workmanship. This warranty is offered on only those Taiahiro brand appliances (each, a “product”), purchased and used in North America by the consumer and is the sole and exclusive express warranty provided by Taiahiro in North America for products.

2. The warranty commences on the date of product purchase in North America by the consumer, or if you are a resident of California, from the date of delivery. A Proof of purchase (as defined below) may be required by Taiahiro from the consumer for the warranty to be effective and applicable to the Product.

3. Proof of purchase is an original or copy of the retailer sales receipt for the product purchased or the retailer product purchase invoice, showing the Product model number, payment and the date of the purchase. Product registration with Taiahiro, while appreciated, is not required to activate any warranty and is not a substitute for a proof of purchase.

4. In the event the warranty period for a product has expired, or if a product does not qualify for warranty service, repair, replacement or reimbursement, consumers may still buy replacement parts or have products repaired by one of Taiahiro’s authorized servicers. Please contact Taiahiro for further information.

 

EFFECT OF THE WARRANTY

 

1. Within the warranty period, Taiahiro may, at its sole discretion,

(i) repair the product with new or refurbished parts,

(ii) replace the product entirely, either with a new or refurbished product at no additional charge to consumer, or

(iii) reimburse the consumer the amount of the original purchase price (a “Reimbursement”);

(iv) replace defective parts that meet the performance specifications of new parts for any applicable Product.

2. All exchanged or substituted parts and products replaced under warranty service will become the property of Taiahiro. Repaired or replaced Products or parts thereof will be warranted by Taiahiro for the balance of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days from the date of warranty service, whichever is longer.

3. In the event replacement parts or a replacement product are not available for any reason at the time of the initiation of a Product Warranty claim by consumer, Taiahiro may, in its sole discretion, either (i) deliver to the consumer an accommodation in the form of a reasonably similar product (an “accommodation”), or (ii) provide reimbursement. Any such accommodation or reimbursement to consumer shall be in full satisfaction of any applicable product warranty claim and of Taiahiro’s obligation to consumer under the warranty for such applicable warranty claim. The provision of an accommodation or a reimbursement terminates any further warranty coverage for such applicable product.

WARRANTY NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY

 

California residents may initiate warranty service by calling TAIAHIRO Consumer Support toll-free at 1-866-273-8455. California law also provides that for any warranty service for a product, California residents have the option of returning the product (a) to the retailer from which it was originally purchased, or (b) to another retailer that sells the same Taiahiro product, among other rights and consumer protections. California residents need only supply their proof of purchase in each case above, or to contact Taiahiro for warranty service they should call Taiahiro Consumer Support for specific instructions. Taiahiro will only be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement or Reimbursement and shipping and handling for such products under its warranty. A retail store to which a California resident returns a product for warranty service may refer the consumer to a Taiahiro Authorized Servicer, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s usage of the product. If the above options do not result in the appropriate remedy to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Taiahiro, and not the consumer, will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or Reimbursement during the warranty period for the product if such product is subject to Taiahiro warranty.
