LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN THIS POICY DO NOT AFFECT THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTY.
"Equipment Protection Policy"
The policy is valid in all European Union state members. It is also valid in Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. If your electronic equipment is damaged by power line transients on an
AC power line (230V – see Note below) while directly and properly connected to a standard APC product co vered by the Equipment Protection Policy ("connected equipment"), and if all the
remaining conditions specified belo w are met, APC will, at APC’s sole option, during the period specified below only, replace the APC product and either a) pay for the repair of the connected
equipment or b) reimburse you for the fair market value, as determined by the then current price list of the Boston Computer Exchange (or equivalent), of the connected equipment, in an amount
not to exceed the dollar limits stated below, if APC determines that the damage was caused by the failure of the APC product to protect against power line transients and/or where applicable,
telephone or CATV (Cable Television) line transients. Power line transients that APC products have been designed to protect against, as recognized by industry standards, include spikes and surges
on AC power lines. Protection from telephone line transients applie s o nly t o AP C prod uc ts wh ic h offer mo dem or fa x lin e pr o tect ion , an d in cases in wh ich such protect ion i s available, tele phon e
service equipment must include a properly installed and operating "primary protection" device at the service entrance (such devices are normally added during telephone installation) in order to be
covered for telephone line transients. Protection of CATV connected equipment from transients applies only to APC products whic h offer such protection, and in such cases, the CATV service
must be properly grounded according to the codes set forth in the all applicable national and local electrical and safety codes in order to be covered for CATV transients.
If data is lost from the hard drive in the protected computer due to a malfunction of a properly connected APC product, APC will, at its sole discretion, provide data recovery services from
®
data recovery labs. This warranty will be offered to customers to the extent commercially reasonable, as determined by APC at its sole discretion. Ontrack will make every commercially
Ontrack
reasonable effort to retrieve customer data, however, due to the nature of data loss, recovery is not guaranteed. The data recovery warranty is available on all APC products mentioned in the chart
that follows with the exception of APC's Basic Surge Protector models. Data recovery is limited to physical hard drives within protected computing eq uipment. Expressly excluded from this
warranty are any type of external storage devices.
APC reserves the right to determine whether the damage to the connected equipment is due to APC product failure by requesting that damaged equipment be sent to APC for ins pection. This
policy is in excess of, and applies only to the extent necessary beyond, any coverage for the connected equipment provided by other sources, including, but not limited to, any manufacturer ’s
warranty, and any extended warranty coverage.
For customers that meet the qualifications and conditions set forth in this policy, APC will provide reimbursements (cost of repair or fair market value) during the period limits and up to the dollar
