This unique program allows Customers (defined below) to be provided with a BioGuard Tru•Blue Solution Kit (defined below) in the event your use of Eligible Products does not prevent algae in your pool. The BioGuard Tru•Blue Promise Program is time-limited and limited to Customers who use Eligible Products, as discussed herein. In order to participate in the BioGuard Tru•Blue Promise Program, you must agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms and Conditions, you may not participate in the Program. Enrollment in the Program constitutes your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
1. General.
These Customer Terms and Conditions for the BioGuard Tru•Blue Promise Program (“Terms”) are the exclusive terms and conditions that govern your (as a “Customer”) participation in the Bio-Guard Tru•Blue Promise Program (the “Program”) operated by, or on behalf of, Bio-Lab, Inc. (the “Company”). By participating in the Program, Customer agrees to be bound by these Terms which comprise the entire agreement between the Customer and the Company as to the Program, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements related to the Program. These Terms do not modify any warranty contained in, or on, any label of an Eligible Product; in the event of any conflict between these Terms and such warranty, the warranty shall prevail.
2. The Program.
If Eligible Products (defined below) are used by a Customer as set out in these Terms and pursuant to the label instructions on such products and do not prevent algae in the Customer’s pool during the Program Term as outlined in Section 3, the dealer of Company products from whom Customer purchased Eligible Products (“Dealer”) shall provide the Customer, at no charge, with a BioGuard Tru•Blue Promise Solution Kit to treat and eliminate such algae problem. In order to be provided with a BioGuard Tru•Blue Promise Solution Kit, Customer must (i) bring a water sample to the Dealer for testing through the ALEX® Water Analysis System at such interval as recommended by the Dealer, and in no event less frequently than every six weeks; and (ii) make adjustments as recommended by the Dealer. If, and only if, the Dealer and/or such testing confirms the algae issue, the Dealer will provide the Customer with a BioGuard Tru•Blue Promise Solution Kit as recommended by the ALEX® Water Analysis System. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the exact composition of a BioGuard Tru•Blue Promise Solution Kit may vary as among Customers based on the analysis performed by the ALEX Water Analysis System.
