11 Maretron (2 Year) Limited Warranty 

Maretron warrants the DCM100 to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 

two (2) years

 from the 

date of original purchase. If within the applicable period any such products shall be proved to Maretron’s 
satisfaction to fail to meet the above limited warranty, such products shall be repaired or replaced at Maretron’s 
option. Purchaser's exclusive remedy and Maretron’s sole obligation hereunder, provided product is returned 
pursuant to the return requirements below, shall be limited to the repair or replacement, at Maretron’s option, of 
any product not meeting the above limited warranty and which is returned to Maretron; or if Maretron is unable to 
deliver a replacement that is free from defects in materials or workmanship, Purchaser’s payment for such 
product will be refunded. Maretron assumes no liability whatsoever for expenses of removing any defective 
product or part or for installing the repaired product or part or a replacement therefore or for any loss or damage 
to equipment in connection with which Maretron’s products or parts shall be used.  With respect to products not 
manufactured by Maretron, Maretron’s warranty obligation shall in all respects conform to and be limited to the 
warranty actually extended to Maretron by its supplier. The foregoing warranties shall not apply with respect to 
products subjected to negligence, misuse, misapplication, accident, damages by circumstances beyond 
Maretron’s

 

control, to improper installation, operation, maintenance, or storage, or to other than normal use or 

service. 

 

THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR 
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 
MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 

 

Statements made by any person, including representatives of Maretron, which are inconsistent or in conflict with 
the terms of this Limited Warranty, shall not be binding upon Maretron unless reduced to writing and approved by 
an officer of Maretron. 

 

IN NO CASE WILL MARETRON

 

BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, DAMAGES 

FOR LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR SAVINGS, OR ANY OTHER LOSS INCURRED 
BECAUSE OF INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE. IN NO EVENT SHALL MARETRON’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY 
EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT(S) INVOLVED.  MARETRON SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT 
TO ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OR 
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHER THEORIES OF LAW WITH RESPECT TO 
PRODUCTS SOLD OR SERVICES RENDERED BY MARETRON, OR ANY UNDERTAKINGS, ACTS OR 
OMISSIONS RELATING THERETO.  

 

 

Maretron does not warrant that the functions contained in any software programs or products will meet 
purchaser’s requirements or that the operation of the software programs or products will be uninterrupted or error 
free. Purchaser assumes responsibility for the selection of the software programs or products to achieve the 
intended results, and for the installation, use and results obtained from said programs or products. No 
specifications, samples, descriptions, or illustrations provided Maretron to Purchaser, whether directly, in trade 
literature, brochures or other documentation shall be construed as warranties of any kind, and any failure to conform 
with such specifications, samples, descriptions, or illustrations shall not constitute any breach of Maretron’s limited 
warranty. 

 

Warranty Return Procedure: 

To apply for warranty claims, contact Maretron or one of its dealers to describe the problem and determine the 
appropriate course of action. If a return is necessary, place the product in its original packaging together with 
proof of purchase and send to an Authorized Maretron Service Location. You are responsible for all shipping and 
insurance charges. Maretron will return the replaced or repaired product with all shipping and handling prepaid 
except for requests requiring expedited shipping (i.e. overnight shipments). Failure to follow this warranty return 
procedure could result in the product’s warranty becoming null and void. 

 

Maretron reserves the right to modify or replace, at its sole discretion, without prior notification, the warranty listed 
above.  To obtain a copy of the then current warranty policy, please go to the following web page:
