EZDOWN MINIMUM ADVERTISED PRICE (MAP) POLICY
Stabilus has a MAP policy in effect on EZDown products. Any information relating to EZDown products in print or on an Internet website is considered to be advertising for the purposes of this policy. This means that an EZDown Authorized Retailer is not allowed to advertise or post a price below the MAP price.
Should you visit a site that advertises a price below MAP they are not an Authorized Retailer and are not getting the product through proper channels. This will affect your warranty status as an EZDown customer. The origin of the product may also be in question as used, B grade or gray market merchandise.
Stabilus has put these policies in place to protect you, the consumer, from dealers who have no knowledge of the products, provide no support and in some cases misrepresent the EZDown products’ capabilities; content; technical specifications; availability and history.
STABILUS

This limited warranty is not applicable if the product has been damaged by accident, improper installation, unreasonable or improper use, lack of proper maintenance, unauthorized repairs or modifications, normal wear and tear, or other causes not arising out of defects in materials or workmanship.
Stabilus’ obligation under this warranty is limited to repair of the product at Stabilus’ plant or replacement of the products at Stabilus’ option without expense to the original consumer purchaser. Any expenses involved in the removal, reinstallation or transportation of the product are not covered by this warranty. The product must be returned to Stabilus’ plant at the address above, postage pre-paid, and insured with proof of original purchase including date. If Stabilus is unable to replace the product and repair is not commercially practical or cannot be timely made, or if the original consumer purchaser is willing to accept a refund in lieu of repair or replacement, Stabilus may refund the purchase price, less an amount for depreciation. The acceptance by Stabilus shall not deemed an admission that the product is defective or in violation of any warranty. Products that are replaced or for which a refund is issued become the property of Stabilus.
THIS WARRANTY IS STABILUS’ ONLY EXPRESSED WARRANTY OF THESE PRODUCTS, NO IMPLIED WARRANTY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALL BE EXTENDED BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD STATED ABOVE FOR EACH PRODUCT.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations and exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which may vary from state to state.
