Three (3) Year Limited Warranty

WARRANTY COVERAGE

Proavio's warranty obligations are limited to the terms set forth below:

Proavio, as defined below, warrants this Proavio-branded hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period 

of THREE (3) YEARS from the date of retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser ('Warranty Period"). If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is 

received within the Warranty Period, at its option, Proavio will either (t) repair the hardware defect at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement 

parts, or (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least 

functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product. Proavio may request that you replace defective parts with 

new or refurbished user-installable parts that Proavio provides in fulfillment of its warranty obligation. A replacement product or part, including a user 

¬installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by Proavio, assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or 

ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any 

replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes Proavio's property. Parts provided by Proavio in fulfillment of its warranty 

obligation must be used in products for which warranty service is claimed. When a refund is given, the product for which the refund is provided must be 

returned to Proavio and becomes Proavio's properly.
