Warranty 

 
 
Electronics  &  Innovation  Ltd.,  (hereafter  E&I)  warrants  for  the  period  of  three 
years  from  the  date  of  original  delivery,  each  unit  to  be  free  of  defects  in 
materials  and  workmanship.  For  the  period  of  36  months  E&I  will,  at  its  option, 
repair  or  replace  defective  parts  so  as  to  render  the  unit  fully  operational  such 
that  it  performs  according  to  the  original  specifications;  free  of  charge  to  the 
original purchaser.  
 
Should  warranty  service  be  required,  the  unit  must  be  returned  to  E&I,  freight 
cost to be borne by the owner. If, in our opinion, the unit has been damaged by 
use outside the limits prescribed in this manual or by accident, then the warranty 
shall  not  be  honored.  In  such  a  case  E&I  will  provide  an  estimate  for  repair, 
assuming repair is possible and provide a quote at standard service rates.
