The Buyer acknowledges that garage door systems utilize high-tension torsion springs and heavy components capable of causing severe injury or death. Seller disclaims all liability for injuries resulting from the Buyer's or third-party attempts to adjust, repair, or dismantle the spring system post-sale. Consistent with Illinois safety standards, only trained professionals should handle system tensioning.
This sale is governed by the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Seller represents that all goods transferred, specifically automatic openers, comply with UL 325 and local Illinois building codes regarding safety reversal systems. Buyer agrees that any subsequent modification to the door or opener that bypasses safety features renders any provided warranty null and void.
Buyer acknowledges that no biometric data was collected by the Seller or Seller’s employees during the installation or sale process as defined by the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) (740 ILCS 14/). Any digital access codes or smart-hub data collected during opener setup are the sole responsibility of the Buyer to reset and secure upon transfer of ownership.
