Warranty: 

Subject to the exclusions and limitations below, Digimerge warrants to the initial end-user purchaser 

that the product will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of 
purchase. For valid warranty claims made during the warranty period, upon proof of purchase, defective products 
will, at the election of Digimerge, be repaired or replaced without charge. Any products repaired or replaced within 
the warranty period, shall be warranted by Digimerge to the initial end-user purchaser for 90 days from the return 
shipment date, or the remainder of the warranty term, whichever is longer, and if outside of the warranty period then 
for 90 days from the return shipment date. Products and parts may be replaced with refurbished items, and the 
products and parts replaced become the property of Digimerge. You are responsible for all shipping costs associated 
with the return of the defective products for warranty service. 

Exclusions and Limitations: 

Any of the following will void this warranty: 

(i) installation or use of the product other than strictly in accordance with the instructions contained in 
the product’s instruction manual; 
(ii) if the product is subjected to operating conditions (including atmospheric, moisture and humidity 
conditions) outside of the acceptable conditions specified in the product's instruction manual; 
(iii) if the product is subjected to misuse or abuse; 
(iv) if the product is subjected to electrical short circuits or transients, accident, fire, flood or Acts of God; 
(v) adjustment, maintenance or repair of the product other than in accordance with Digimerge approved 
procedures; and 
(vi) use of replacement parts other than those specified by Digimerge. 

 
DIGIMERGE MAKES NO CLAIMS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER REGARDING 
THE PRODUCT’S ABILITY OR EFFECTIVENESS IN PREVENTING OR REDUCING THE RISK OF, 
OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM, LOSS OR THEFT OF PROPERTY OR PERSONAL INJURY. 
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR 
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE. 
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE 
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE PURCHASER. DIGIMERGE SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR 
ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY 
KIND OR CHARACTER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF 
REVENUE OR PROFITS, FAILURE TO REALIZE SAVINGS OR OTHER BENEFITS, OR CLAIMS 
AGAINST THE PURCHASER BY ANY THIRD PERSON, EVEN IF DIGIMERGE HAS BEEN ADVISED 
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 

 
No claims or statements regarding the product, whether written or verbal, by salespeople, retailers, dealers or 
distributors, that are not contained in this limited warranty or in the owner's manual are authorized by Digimerge 
and do not modify or expand this warranty. 
Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the limitation 
of incidental or consequential damages for certain products supplied to consumers or the limitation of liability for 
personal injury. To the extent that such restrictions on limitations apply to the products, the above limitations and 
exclusions may be limited in their application. In that case, when the implied warranties are not allowed to be 
excluded in their entirety, they will be limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty, and if damages may 
not be limited then the above limitations on damages apply, but only to the greatest extent permitted by local law. 

Warranty and Non-Warranty Service: 

Contact the dealer that sold you this product, during the warranty period if 

applicable, to obtain service. Non-warranty service is subject to Digimerge's then current service terms and prices. If
