PRODUCTS COVERED
The Badger Meter warranty shall apply to the Racine
Vortex RNL Series Insertion Liquid Flow Meter
(“Product”).
MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
Badger Meter warrants the Product to be free from
defects in materials and workmanship for a period
of 12 months from the original purchase date.
PRODUCT RETURNS
Product failures must be proven and verified to
the satisfaction of Badger Meter. The Badger Meter
obligation hereunder shall be limited to such
repair and replacement and shall be conditioned
upon Badger Meter receiving written notice of
any asserted defect within 10 (ten) days after its
discovery. If the defect arises and a valid claim is
received within the Warranty Period, at its option,
Badger Meter will either (1) exchange the Product
with a new, used or refurbished Product that is
at least functionally equivalent to the original
Product, or (2) refund the purchase price of the
Product. DO NOT RETURN ANY PRODUCT UNTIL
YOU HAVE CALLED THE BADGER METER CUSTOMER
SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND OBTAINED A RETURN
AUTHORIZATION.
Product returns must be shipped by the Customer
prepaid F.O.B. to the nearest Badger Meter factory
or distribution center. The Customer shall be
responsible for all direct and indirect costs associated
with removing the original Product and reinstalling
the repaired or replacement Product. A replacement
Product assumes the remaining warranty of the
original Product or ninety (90) days from the date of
replacement, whichever provides longer coverage.

subject to vandalism, negligence, accident, acts
of God, improper installation, operation or repair,
alteration, or other circumstances which are beyond
the reasonable control of Badger Meter.
With respect to products not manufactured by

Meter shall in all respects conform and be limited
to the warranty extended to Badger Meter by the
