Warranty
In addition to the provisions of Article VIII of the Standard Terms & Conditions of XIMEA GmbH (see
) the following additions and specifications apply:
XIMEA warrants to the Original Purchaser that the Camera provided is guaranteed to be free from material and manufacturing
defects for a period of two years. Should a unit fail during this period, XIMEA will, at its option, repair or replace the damaged
unit. Repaired or replaced Products are covered for the remainder of the original Product warranty period.
Warranty is void if any proprietary labeling is removed. This warranty does not apply to units that, after being examined by XIMEA,
have been found to have failed due to customer abuse, mishandling, alteration, improper installation or negligence. If the original
camera module is housed within a case, removing the case for any purpose voids this warranty. This warranty does not apply to
damage to any part of the optical path resulting from removal or replacement of the protective glass or filter over the camera,
such as scratched glass or sensor damage. If the camera is disassembled, reworked or repaired by anyone other than a
recommended service person, XIMEA or its suppliers will take no responsibility for the subsequent performance or quality of the
camera.
XIMEA expressly disclaims and excludes all other warranties, express, implied and statutory, including, but without limitation,
warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular application or purpose. In no event shall XIMEA be liable to the Original
Purchaser or any third party for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or accidental damages, including without
limitation damages for business interruption, loss of profits, revenue, data or bodily injury or death except in case of willful
misconduct by XIMEA or employees of XIMEA.
