ADDRESS ON THE FORM WITHIN 30 DAYS OF INITIAL SUPERCHARGER
KIT PURCHASE DATE(SUPERCHARGER KIT).
COVERAGE LIMITS: $3,000 for ENGINE; $2,000 for TRANSMISSION; $5,000 POLICY LIMIT - In the event of a failure of Covered Component, We will

policy limit of this Warranty, the Warranty lapses. If a claim exceeds the actual cash value of the Vehicle and the Administrator elects to pay the actual cash
value of the vehicle to You, the Vehicle becomes the property of Administrator for salvage. You must provide the Vehicle, with free and clear title, to the
Administrator before it will pay to You the actual cash value. Our obligation under this Warranty shall be to replace covered components with new or Vortech
certified re-manufactured parts, as shall be necessary to remedy covered defects in material and/or workmanship. Vortech reserves the right to improve the
design of any kits without assuming any obligation to modify any part previously manufactured or installed on a Vehicle.
EXCLUDED CAUSES OF DAMAGES AND/OR CONDITIONS:
1. Damages to the Covered Components caused by neglect, abuse, lack of maintenance, collision, abnormal operation or improper installation of the
Kit; 2. Damages to the Covered Components cause by operation of the engine without fuels, oils, or lubricants, or with fuels, oils or lubricants that are
contaminated or not suitable for the engine; 3. Damages caused by blown head gaskets, fluid leaks, cracked heads or block, overheating or other
engine failures caused by the lack of fluids or improper maintenance; 4. Damages caused by excess oil consumption and/or worn out parts; 5.
Damages to the Covered Components caused by towing, improper load capacity or continued operation of an impaired Vehicle; 6. Damage to the engine
caused by collision, misuse, road conditions, negligence, alterations, racing, fires, floods, riots, vandalism, theft, or acts of God.
EXCLUDED USES WHICH CAUSE THIS WARRANTY TO BE VOID:

and/or oversized tires and/or wheels on the Vehicle; 4. Installation or use of headers, pulley(ies), camshaft, bolt-on performance enhancement parts, or

OR TRANSFER OF PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF, THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.

of this Warranty, without interest or any other increase of additional payment, if we have not incurred additional costs.

Administrator has the right to void this Warranty, and exclude certain coverage, in its sole discretion, because of such fact. If this Warranty is voided or coverage
excluded by reason of Your action or inaction, or any occurrence, or lack of action, that occurred after the Warranty purchased, then You are not entitled to any
refund of the cost or premium for the Warranty, or any other consideration or payment.

component or the basis for a claim under this Warranty!

consequential or incidental damages. Storage, medical, telephone or rental charges of any kind are not covered. This Warranty is secondary to the primary

made. This must be done prior to authorization of repair or replacement of the Covered Component by the Administrator. You will be solely liable, and agree to
pay, the costs of the tear down if the damages are not covered by this Warranty, or the difference between the covered amount and the costs and fees of the tear
down plus other costs exceed Our maximum liability under this Warranty.
D. Reasonable access must be provided to the Vehicle for the Administrator and Vortech personnel for Warranty inspection purposes.
E. If we need any of the Covered Components examined, then You must pay for all related transportation charges and/or travel time. Any parts shipped by You
for inspection or repair must be shipped with freight pre-paid.

prior to any repair work will invalidate this Warranty.

and must rely only on the terms and conditions herein. No employee or representative of Vortech or Charter Warranty has the right or power to change or waive
