Breeches of Warranty:
The warranty does not apply in case of:

• products used for any other purpose than their ordinary purpose.
• neglect, accident, ordinary wear and tear, damage from shipping, handling, or any act of God.
• any installation not in accordance with the appropriate Latitude51 Solar installation or any installation not in accordance with relevant standards and safety regulations.
• failure due to corrosion, rather than manufacturing defects.
• failure of any components not supplied by Latitude51 Solar.
• failure to fasten the panels securely to solid structures which may result in movement or vibration.
• exposure to wind speeds over 130 km/hour.
• structural alterations to the solar collector.
• relocation from original point of installation.
• solar collector left dry (no liquid) and left exposed to sun for 14 days or more.
• leaving a glycol system exposed to sun without having heat dissipation or hot water usage, so that the collector dry stagnates, for more than 2 days. Over heating Glycol can cause the glycol to become corrosive wich can start corroding the pipe work.
• inlet and outlet connections.
• surging huge pressures, exceeding 0.8 Mpa, through the collector.
• using large flow rates through the collector which can cause erosion.
• letting water freeze solid in pipes.
• using water which can/could result in scale formation.
• installation of collectors in series without flexibility between the panels, so that temperature changes put stress on the collectors.
