Firetide Limited End User Product Warranty
Pursuant to all provisions described herein, Firetide hardware products and Firetide
antennas are warranted for one (1) year from the date of purchase against defects
in the build materials and workmanship. Firetide does not warrant that the Products
will meet any requirements or specifications of any End User Customer. This warranty
applies to the entire Firetide product, including the AC power adapter.
Pursuant to all provisions described herein, Firetide software products are warranted
for ninety (90) days from the date of purchase against defects in the build materials
and workmanship. Firetide also warrants that the Software will materially conform
to the documentation supplied by Firetide with the Software. In the event that the
Software fails to materially conform to the documentation and an authorized Firetide
reseller is notified in writing of such failure within the warranty period, Firetide or
its reseller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly correct the noncon-
formity. Firetide does not warrant that the use of the Software will be uninterrupted
or error free.
The above warranties are void if the alleged defect cannot be verified by Firetide or if,
as determined by Firetide, the product failure was due to tampering, abuse, misuse,
accident, shipping, handling, or storage; or if the product has been installed, used, or
maintained in a manner not described in the product user manual; or if the product
has been altered in any way; or if product serialization has been altered. Any attempt
to disassemble or repair the product by anyone other than Firetide immediately voids
this warranty.
This warranty applies only to the original End User purchaser of the product and may
not be transferred to any other individual or entity.
THE FOREGOING ARE THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES APPLICABLE TO THE PRODUCT IN-
CLUDING THE SOFTWARE, AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCT.
FIRETIDE DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATU-
TORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MER-
CHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME
LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES SO TO THAT EXTENT
THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
In no event will Firetide be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, punitive
or indirect damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of
profits, business interruption, loss of information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out
of the use or inability to use the product or the performance, interruption or failure of
the product, irrespective of the cause of action, even if Firetide has been advised of
the possibility of such damages. Firetide’s cumulative liability for all claims arising out
of or in connection with this warranty will not exceed the amount paid by the original
End User purchaser to purchase the product. The amounts payable for the product are
based in part on these limitations and these limitations shall apply notwithstanding
the failure of essential purpose of any remedy. Some jurisdictions do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so to that extent the
above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
By using the product the original End User purchaser agrees to and is bound by these
terms and conditions.
In the event that a product fails to meet this warranty and Firetide’s authorized re-
seller is notified in writing of such failure within the warranty period, Firetide shall,
at its own discretion, either repair the product or replace it with the same or a
functionally-equivalent product free of charge. Replacement products may contain
refurbished materials in whole or in part. Firetide will honor this warranty provided
the product is returned through an authorized Firetide reseller or dealer with ship-
ping charges prepaid, along with a proof of purchase describing the original purchase
date and product serial numbers if applicable. The authorized reseller must acquire
a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number from Firetide prior to returning any
product. Firetide does not accept shipments of defective products without shipping
charges prepaid.
Please contact your Firetide dealer for instructions on returning defective or damaged
products for repair or replacement. Do not return products to Firetide, Inc. Please keep
all original packaging materials in the event they are needed to return the product
for servicing.
