but if for any reason that remedy should fail of its essential

purpose, the exclusive remedy of the purchaser shall then

be actual damages up to amounts paid for the defective

product by the purchaser. This limited warranty shall be

deemed to “fail of its essential purpose” if, after repeated

efforts, Micronics is unable to make the product operate as

warranted.  Micronics’ liability for damages to the pur-

chaser for any cause whatsoever; regardless of the form of

action and whether in contract or in tort, shall be limited

to the purchase price in effect when the cause of action

arose for the product that is the basis of the claim.

Micronics will not be liable for any lost profits or any

indirect, special incidental or consequential damages in

connection with the product, even if Micronics has been

advised of the possibility of such damages.

Micronics makes no warranties or representations as to

performance of products or as to service to distributor or

to any person, except as set forth in Micronics; limited

warranty accompanying delivery of product.

Micronics disclaims all other warranties whether oral,

written, expressed, or implied, including without limita-

tion, the warranties of design, merchantability, or fitness

for a particular purpose, if applicable, or arising from a

course of dealing, usage or trade practice.

Non-Warranty Service

After the one year warranty service is no longer in effect,

repair service is still available for Micronics products.  For

more information, contact Micronics’ RMA department

at (510) 661-3030. The RMA department is open be-

tween 8:30 A.M. and 4:45P.M. Pacific Standard Time.
