LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

Each Fluke Networks product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under 
normal use and service.  The warranty period for the mainframe is one year and begins on the date of 
purchase.  Parts, accessories, product repairs and services are warranted for 90 days, unless otherwise 
stated.  Ni-Cad, Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries, cables or other peripherals are all considered parts or 
accessories.  The warranty extends only to the original buyer or end user customer of a Fluke Networks 
authorized reseller, and does not apply to any product which, in Fluke Networks’ opinion, has been 
misused, abused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of 
operation or handling.  Fluke Networks warrants that software will operate substantially in 
accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on 
non-defective media. 

Fluke Networks authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-
user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of 
Fluke Networks. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke Networks 
authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke Networks reserves 
the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased 
in one country is submitted for repair in another country. 

Fluke Networks' warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke Networks' option, to refund of the purchase 
price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke 
Networks authorized service center within the warranty period. 

To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke Networks authorized service center to obtain 
return authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of 
the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke Networks assumes no risk for 
damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation 
prepaid (FOB Destination).  If Fluke Networks determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, 
contamination, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation or handling, or normal wear 
and tear of mechanical components, Fluke Networks will provide an estimate of repair costs and 
obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to 
the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation 
charges (FOB Shipping Point). 

THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND 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 PURPOSE. FLUKE NETWORKS SHALL NOT BE 
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, 
INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY. 

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion 
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty 
may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a 
court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or 
enforceability of any other provision.
