any defective product or part when notified within the warranty period, and will return the product via
domestic ground shipping or NK’s choice of method of international shipping at no charge.
The following shall be excluded from warranty coverage: damage due to improper use or neglect
(including corrosion); damage caused by severe or excessive impact, crushing or mechanical harm;
modifications or attempted repairs by someone other than an authorized NK/Kestrel repair agent;
impeller failure not caused by a manufacturing defect; normal usage wear; failed batteries; and accuracy
issues resolvable by recalibration. Recalibration is provided free of charge within thirty (30) days of

Except for the warranties set forth herein, NK disclaims all other warranties, expressed, implied
or statutory, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for
a particular purpose. Any implied warranties that may be imposed by applicable law are limited
to the term of this warranty. In no event shall NK be liable for any incidental, special or conse-
quential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of business, loss of profits, loss of data or
use, whether in an action in contract or tort or based on a warranty, arising out of or in connection
with the use or performance of an NK product, even if NK has been advised of the possibility of
such damages. You agree that repair, and (upon availability) replacement, as applicable, is your
sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any breach of the NK Limited Warranty set forth herein.
All product liability and warranty options are governed exclusively by the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania.
Your warranty period will be measured from your date of purchase. The best way to ensure full war-
ranty coverage is to REGISTER your NK product promptly on our website: www.kestrelweather.
com. We keep your registration information strictly confidential and do not sell it, share it, or use it for
anything but product-related information bulletins (which you may decline receiving). If you do not
register and cannot provide proof of purchase, your warranty period will be measured from our date of
manufacture, determined by serial number.
We request that you contact NK if you feel your product is not working properly. We can often solve
product issues by phone or e-mail, saving you the time and expense of returning the unit. If we require
the product to be returned, we will issue a Return Authorization to expedite the handling of your war-
ranty claim.
