discretion, repair or replace any product not operating as warranted with a similar

endeavour to repair or replace any product returned under warranty within 30
days of receipt of the product. As new technologies emerge, older technologies
become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its

The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a 5 year Limited Lifetime *

date of purchase of the product from SMC or its authorized reseller.
