WARRANTY
Paradox Security Systems Ltd. (“Seller”) warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use for a period of one year. Except as specifically stated herein, all express or
implied warranties whatsoever, statutory or otherwise, including without limitation, any implied warranty of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are expressly excluded. Because Seller does not install or
connect the products and because the products may be used in conjunction with products not manufactured by
Seller, Seller cannot guarantee the performance of the security system and shall not be responsible for
circumstances resulting from the product’s inability to operate. Seller obligation and liability under this warranty
is expressly limited to repairing or replacing, at Seller's option, any product not meeting the specifications.
Returns must include proof of purchase and be within the warranty period. In no event shall the Seller be liable
to the buyer or any other person for any loss or damages whether direct or indirect or consequential or
incidental, including without limitation, any damages for lost profits stolen goods, or claims by any other party,
caused by defective goods or otherwise arising from the improper, incorrect or otherwise faulty installation or
use of the merchandise sold.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, the Seller’s maximum liability will be strictly limited to the purchase
price of the defective product. Your use of this product signifies your acceptance of this warranty.
*BEWARE: Dealers, installers and/or others selling the product are not authorized to modify this warranty or
make additional warranties that are binding on the Seller.
Limitations of Alarm Systems
It must be understood that while your Paradox alarm system is highly advanced and secure, it does not offer
any guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency (fire and emergency options are only
available on certain Paradox models). This is due to a number of reasons, including by not limited to
inadequate or improper installation/positioning, sensor limitations, battery performance, wireless signal
interruption, inadequate maintenance or the potential for the system or telephone lines to be compromised or
circumvented. As a result, Paradox does not represent that the alarm system will prevent personal injury or
property damage, or in all cases provide adequate warning or protection.
Your security system should therefore be considered as one of many tools available to reduce risk and/or
damage of burglary, fire or other emergencies, such other tools include but are not limited to insurance
coverage, fire prevention and extinguish devices, and sprinkler systems.
We also strongly recommend that you regularly maintain your security systems and stay aware of new and
improved Paradox products and developments.
Warning for Connections to Non-Traditional Telephony (eg. VoIP)
Paradox alarm equipment was designed to work effectively around traditional telephone systems. For those
customers who are using a Paradox alarm panel connected to a non-traditional telephone system, such as
"Voice Over Internet Protocol" (VoIP) that converts the voice signal from your telephone to a digital signal
traveling over the Internet, you should be aware that your alarm system may not function as effectively as with
traditional telephone systems.
For example, if your VoIP equipment has no battery back-up, during a power failure your system's ability to
transmit signals to the central station may be compromised. Or, if your VoIP connection becomes disabled,
your telephone line monitoring feature may also be compromised. Other concerns would include, without
limitation, Internet connection failures which may be more frequent than regular telephone line outages.
We therefore strongly recommend that you discuss these and other limitations involved with operating an alarm
system on a VoIP or other non-traditional telephone system with your installation company. They should be
able to offer or recommend measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better understanding.
