LIMITED WARRANTY

Limitations of security products: Security products and alarm systems do not offer 
guaranteed protection against burglary, fire, or other emergencies. They may fail to warn 
for diverse reasons, including (but not limited to): power failure, dead batteries, improper 
installation, coverage “blind spots”, coverage areas overlooked during installation, defeat 
by technically sophisticated intruders, component failure, or inadequate maintenance. 
Alarm systems should be checked weekly to ensure that all devices are working properly. 
AN ALARM SYSTEM IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR INSURANCE.

FSK Electronics warrants its products to be in conformance with its own plans and 
specifications and to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal 
use and service for twelve months from the date of original purchase. Seller’s obligation 
shall be limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for materials or 
labour, any part of which is proved not in compliance with seller’s specifications or 
proves defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall 
have no obligation under this Limited Warranty or otherwise if the product is altered or 
improperly repaired or serviced by anyone other than Seller. For warranty service, return 
transportation prepaid, to the manufacturer.

There are no warranties, expressed or implied, of merchantability, or fitness for a 
particular purpose or otherwise, which extend beyond the description on the face hereof. 
In no case shall seller be liable to anyone for any consequential or incidental damages for 
breach of this or any other warranty, express or implied, or upon any other basis of 
liability whatsoever, even if the loss or damage is caused by its own negligence or fault.

Seller does not represent that the products it sells may not be compromised or 
circumvented; that the products will prevent any personal injury or property loss by 
burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the products will in all cases provide 
adequate warning or protection. Customer understands that a properly installed and 
maintained alarm system may only reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, or fire without 
warning, but it is not insurance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will 
be no personal injury or property loss as a result.

Consequently, seller shall have no liability for any personal injury; property damage or 
other loss based on a claim the product failed to give any warning. However, if the seller 
is held liable, whether directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage arising under this 
limited warranty or otherwise, regardless of cause or origin, seller’s maximum liability 
shall not in any case exceed the purchase price of the product, which shall be the 
complete and exclusive remedy against seller.

This warranty replaces any previous warranties and is the only warranty made by seller 
on this product. No increase or alteration, written or verbal, of the obligations of this 
limited warranty is authorised.

Note: Specifications are subject to change without notice. Patents issued and pending 
worldwide.
