Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee
In purchasing a CP550SL / AE550 in the United States or Canada, the original end user receives a Limited Warranty and Connected
Equipment Guarantee from Cyber Power Systems (USA), Inc. (for ease of reading, referred to as "CyberPower"). The Limited Warranty and
the Connected Equipment Guarantee are intended to be the original end-user's exclusive rights and remedies. The Limited Warranty and
the Connected Equipment are separate, all though they are related.
Limited Warranty
. The original end user (referred to as the "Initial Customer") receives an express limited warranty (referred to as the
"Limited Warranty") for the CP550SL / AE550 purchased from CyberPower (referred to as the "Product"). The Limited Warranty is for the
Product itself. The terms of the Limited Warranty are explained below.
Connected Equipment Guarantee
. CyberPower also provides the Initial Customer with protection in the event that the Product is not free
from defects in materials and workmanship, and certain equipment connected to the Product is damaged (the "Connected Equipment
Guarantee"). The Connected Equipment Guarantee protects the Initial Customer for damage to equipment plugged into the Product. The
terms of the Connected Equipment Guarantee are explained below.
The Limited Warranty and the Connected Equipment Guarantee are subject to the terms set forth below. Additionally, State or Provincial law
may adjust the terms of the Limited Warranty or the Connected Equipment Guarantee or the State or Province may impose additional
obligations, or additional "implied warranties." To the extent necessary to comply with those laws, the terms of the Limited Warranty and the
Connected Equipment Guarantee should be read to adjust to those requirements only to the extent necessary to comply with such local law.
If you are an Initial Customer, you are asked to read the following terms and conditions carefully before using the Product. By using the
Product you consent to be bound by and become a party to the Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee. If you do not agree
to the terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee, you should return the Product for a full refund
prior to using it.

Warranty.)
LIMITED WARRANTY
CyberPower warrants to you, the Initial Purchaser, that the Product will be free from defects in material and workmanship for three years

Any Implied Warranty of Merchantability or for Fitness for a Particular Purpose, if applicable to the Product, is limited in duration to the period
of ownership by the Initial Customer. This provision shall NOT create any Implied Warranty or Merchantability or of Fitness for a Particular
Purpose that would not otherwise apply to the Product. NOTE:

lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you
.

CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE
If you are the Initial Purchaser and the Product is still covered by the Limited Warranty, the Connected Equipment Guarantee provides
protection for damage to equipment connected to the Product ("Connected Equipment"), subject to certain terms and limitations.

to the extent that that the Primary Coverage does not cover the loss. CyberPower's obligation is reduced by any amounts that you are
entitled to recover from the Primary Coverage, whether or not you make a claim for recovery under any applicable Primary Coverage.
The Limited Warranty does not cover Connected Equipment, but as is explained below, to be covered under the Connected Equipment
Guarantee, the Connected Equipment must have been damaged due to a failure of the Product. The Connected Equipment must have been
damaged due to a defect in materials or workmanship of the Product.

Connected Equipment. If (a) the Product purchased and owned by you is defective in material or workmanship; (b) the Limited Warranty
requirements have been met (except that the three year limitation of the Limited Warranty does not limit the Connected Equipment
Guarantee, which is for the lifetime of the Product), and; (c) none of the limitations or exclusions on warranty coverage apply (or than the
three year limit), CyberPower will (as CyberPower elects, as permitted by law), repair, replace, or pay the Agreed Damage Amount (defined
below) for, the item(s) of your electronic equipment directly and properly connected to the product (the "Connected Equipment") if that
Connected Equipment is (x) damaged by AC power line transients, spikes, or surges on properly installed, grounded, and code-compliant
120 volt power lines in the United States and Canada, or by transients, surges or spikes on standard telephone equipment lines, or Base
10/100T Ethernet lines that are properly installed and connected (a "Power Disturbance") and (y) is directly plugged into and properly
connected to a CyberPower Product in its original condition which is properly operated when a Power Disturbance passes through the
CyberPower Product and (y.1) exhausts the protection capacity of the CyberPower Product or (y.2) damages the CyberPower Product. This
provision sets out the only liability of any character of CyberPower for direct, indirect, special, consequential, and/or incidental damages
