This warranty applies solely to safes for residential use. MERIK will either repair or replace, in its sole choice, safes damaged due to fire or an unlawful break-in upon receipt of proof of the homeowner’s insurance policy’s denial of such coverage. Additionally, to qualify for repair or replacement, the Purchaser must provide the original purchase documentation and register the safe with MERIK within thirty (30) days of purchase. Proof, in the form of a police or fire department report signed by an authorized investigator and his/her badge number, shall be required prior to MERIK’s repair or replacement. In the event of replacement, MERIK will replace the gun safe with another gun safe of like size and type of your damaged gun safe or replace it with a current production model of comparable value. Repair does not include the lock, painted, and/or metal surfaces of the safe. When possible, the safe will be repaired locally. If necessary, MERIK may require the safe is returned to the MERIK distribution center, or to a location designated by MERIK, for evaluation, with expense for transportation to MERIK to be borne by the original purchaser. Damaged safe must be returned to MERIK by prepaid freight along with the report made by investigating agency. The repaired or replacement safe shall be sent to customer freight collect. The responsibility of MERIK under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of the defective part. In no event shall MERIK be liable for damages caused by inconvenience, loss of use, damage to contents, loss of contents, loss of profits, loss of savings or any other damages, whether incidental, consequential or otherwise, cost of any substitute equipment, facilities or services, downtime, the claims of third parties including customers, and injury to property upon breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict tort, or any other legal theory. In no event shall MERIK's liability exceed the original cost of the safe. Some states do not permit limitations on warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore, the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty provides specific rights. You may have other rights based on your state of residence.
