only made to Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party.

ties and does not itself warrant any non-Seller manufactured products and sells only on an as is basis. 

2. EXCLUSIONS OF WARRANTIES, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TED BY LAW, IN NO CASE SHALL THE SELLER BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR 
PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE PRODUCT AND/OR FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY 
OR CONDITION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR UPON ANY OTHER BASIS OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED 
BY SELLER’S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT, AND EVEN IF SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES. 
Any product description (whether in writing or made orally by Seller or Seller’s agents), specifications, samples, drawings, diagrams, engineering sheets, or similar 
materials used in connection with the Buyer’s order are for the sole purpose of identifying the Seller’s products and shall not be construed as an express warranty 
or condition. SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON ANY CLAIM AT 
ALL. However, if the Seller is held liable whether directly or indirectly for any loss or damage with respect to the product it sells, regardless or cause or origin, its 
maximum liability shall not in any case exceed the purchase price of the product, which shall be fixed as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, and shall be the 
complete and exclusive remedy against the Seller. 

By accepting the products, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Buyer assumes all liability for, and agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless against and defend 
Seller from, any and all suits, claims, demands, causes of action and judgments relating to damages, whether for personal injury or to personal property, suffered 
by any person, firm, corporation or business association, including but not limited to, Buyer’s customers and/or users.

Subject to the terms and conditions listed below, during the applicable warranty period, Seller will repair or replace, at its sole option, free of charge any defective 
products returned prepaid. In the event that you have a problem with any Seller product, please call 247Security Customer Service and request a RETURN

received unless repair is possible and requested by Buyer. Repairs of such nature will incur a charge for parts and labor and will proceed only by agreement with 
Buyer to accept the charge. 

Non-Warranty Repair: Buyer will be charged for repairs to an out of warranty product. Applicable charges will be calculated and quoted when an RMA number is 
issued; however, charges may vary based on actual product condition. Buyer must pay shipping costs to the Seller Repair Department. Costs to repair and return 
defective products will be the responsibility of the Buyer. For all non-warranty repairs, Buyer will be billed for parts, labor and shipping. Non-warranty repairs are 
warranted for 90 days from date of repair.
