under this warranty.

For this warranty to apply the customer is responsible for returning 

the product unmodified to the factory within the specified warranty 

period.  The customer assumes all responsibility for shipping and 

insurance to and from the factory or a factory specified repair 

facility. The conditions and stipulations of this Pass Laboratories

authorized dealer.  Warranty on factory repair is 60 days and covers 

only the scope of the original repair.

Pass Labs dealer or distributor for warranty repair instruction prior to 

contacting the factory or shipping product to the factory for repair.

product purchased outside the United States may vary depending

received written factory approval nullify all claims and void all 

provisions of the warranty and liability by the maker or authorized 

distributor. Should a modified product be returned to the factory 

for repair the owner will be required to pay all necessary charges
