Warranty Information

5-Year Limited Warranty for New Aviation Headsets Sold by Lightspeed Aviation, Inc.

Lightspeed Aviation, Inc. (“LSA”) warrants that the new aviation headset sold by LSA 
(“New Headset”) is free from all material defects in workmanship and materials. For 
the New Headset, all warranties provided by LSA and all implied warranties imposed 
by law are limited to a 5-year period, beginning on the purchase date shown on the 
New Headset’s sales receipt (“Warranty Period”). This 5-year Limited Warranty (“Limited 
Warranty”) is provided solely for the benefit of the initial purchaser of the New Headset 
(“Purchaser”), and it excludes all 3rd parties, including distributors, dealers, retailers, 
subsequent owners, and other users of the New Headset. This Limited Warranty is not 
assignable and remains in full force and effect during the Warranty Period, but only 
if the New Headset: (a) has been properly maintained; (b) has not been abused or 
misused; and (c) has not been repaired, altered, or modified without LSA’s approval. This 
Limited Warranty specifically excludes all taxes, shipping costs, and problems relating 
to any: (1) repair, alteration, or modification not approved by LSA; (2) abuse or failure 
to properly maintain the New Headset; (3) faulty workmanship by any person, except 
LSA or its approved agent; (4) operation of the New Headset, except as specified in its 
operating manual; (5) ordinary wear and tear; or (6) finish and appearance item. For 
each claim made under this Limited Warranty (“Claim”), Purchaser must, within 10 days 
of discovering a New Headset problem indicating a breach of this Limited Warranty, 
deliver to LSA a written notice that explains in detail the New Headset’s specific defect, 
that shows proof of Purchaser’s purchase of the New Headset before the end of the 
Warranty Period, and that shows proof that this Limited Warranty applies to the New 
Headset. LSA or its agent may investigate any Claim. For each Claim, LSA may, in its 
sole discretion, choose any of the following exclusive remedies: (I) repair or replace 
the New Headset or any part thereof, without charge to Purchaser, but first Purchaser 
must return the New Headset to LSA’s authorized repair facility, pre-paying all shipping 
charges, and Purchaser must accept the same as repaired or replaced at the facility’s 
location (i.e., FOB the facility) within 10 days of the date of LSA’s completion notice sent 
to Purchaser, or else LSA will deem the New Headset abandoned, in which case LSA 

may keep, sell, or otherwise discard it; or (II) refund the New Headset’s purchase price 
to Purchaser. Without paying any amount to Purchaser, LSA may keep, sell, or otherwise 
discard all replaced New Headsets and parts thereof and all New Headsets where 
LSA has refunded the purchase price to Purchaser. In repairing or replacing any New 
Headset, LSA may, in its sole discretion, use new, used, or reconditioned parts or provide 
a refurbished used headset as a replacement. In connection therewith, LSA warrants 
that all new, used, or reconditioned parts or refurbished used headsets will be free from 
all material defects in workmanship and materials during the Warranty Period  
and for a period of up to 90 days thereafter, but only to the extent that such event 
occurs during the final 90 days of the Warranty Period. LSA may, in its sole discretion, 
(i) establish separate, additional, non-warranty repair and replacement programs for 
any new or used headset (“Non- Warranty Service Programs”), (ii) the Non-Warranty 
Service Programs may cover any time period, before or after any Warranty Period 
has expired, and (iii) charge any amount and impose any term with respect to any 
Non-Warranty Service Program. For Non-Warranty Service Programs, LSA warrants 
that all new, used, reconditioned, or refurbished parts and headsets used to repair 
or replace any headset will be free from all material defects in workmanship and 
materials, but only for a limited period of 90 days thereafter. Purchaser acknowledges 
that used or reconditioned parts may be used to repair any new or used headset, and 
that a refurbished used headset may be provided as a replacement for any new or 
used headset. LSA may hire a 3rd party to repair or replace any new or used headset. 
“Including” means “including, but not limited to. ” THE TERMS IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE 
THE ONLY TERMS THAT GOVERN LSA’S WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS FOR ANY NEW OR 
USED HEADSET OR PART THEREOF. NO ORAL OR OTHER WRITTEN TERM APPLIES. THIS 
DOCUMENT PROVIDES THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ALL CLAIMS AGAINST LSA WITH 
RESPECT TO ANY NEW OR USED HEADSET OR PART THEREOF. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY 
PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, LSA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO 
MODIFY, AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, ANY AND ALL 
TERMS IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. EACH SUCH MODIFICATION IS DEEMED EFFECTIVE 
UPON PUBLICATION ON LSA’S WEBSITE OR OTHERWISE.
