Sterling Lighting warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship when products are installed, operated and maintained according to applicable codes and normal use according to label or supplied instructions. Without charge, Sterling Lighting will either repair or replace the broken component or fixture. Sterling Lighting reserves the right to decide between repair or replacement of any properly installed Sterling Lighting product which fails under normal operating conditions and has not undergone abuse beyond normal wear and tear.
