charge to the original purchaser or user.
This warranty shall not apply to any equipment, or any
part thereof, which has been repaired by others,
improperly installed, improperly used, abused, altered,
damaged, subjected to acts of God, or on which any
serial numbers have been altered, defaced or removed.
Seller will not be responsible for any dismantling or
reinstallation charges.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE
DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF. THERE IS NO
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR A WARRANTY OF FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ADDITIONALLY, THIS
WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS
OR LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF ALARM LOCK.
Any action for breach of warranty, including but not
limited to any implied warranty of merchantability, must
be brought within the six months following the end of the
warranty period.
IN NO CASE SHALL ALARM LOCK BE LIABLE TO
ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR
ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
EVEN IF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE
SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT.
In case of defect, contact the security professional
who installed and maintains your security system. In
order to exercise the warranty, the product must be
returned by the security professional, shipping costs
prepaid and insured to ALARM LOCK. After repair or
replacement, ALARM LOCK assumes the cost of
returning products under warranty. ALARM LOCK shall
have no obligation under this warranty, or otherwise, if
the product has been repaired by others, improperly
installed, improperly used, abused, altered, damaged,
subjected to accident, nuisance, flood, fire or acts of God,
or on which any serial numbers have been altered,
defaced or removed. ALARM LOCK will not be
responsible for any dismantling, reassembly or
reinstallation charges.
This warranty contains the entire warranty. It is the
sole warranty and any prior agreements or
representations, whether oral or written, are either
merged herein or are expressly canceled. ALARM LOCK
neither assumes, nor authorizes any other person
purporting to act on its behalf to modify, to change, or to
assume for it, any other warranty or liability concerning its
products.
In no event shall ALARM LOCK be liable for an
amount in excess of ALARM LOCK's original selling price
of the product, for any loss or damage, whether direct,
indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise arising
out of any failure of the product. Seller's warranty, as
hereinabove set forth, shall not be enlarged, diminished
or affected by and no obligation or liability shall arise or
grow out of Seller's rendering of technical advice or
service in connection with Buyer's order of the goods
furnished hereunder.
ALARM LOCK RECOMMENDS THAT THE ENTIRE
SYSTEM BE COMPLETELY TESTED WEEKLY.
Warning: Despite frequent testing, and due to, but not
limited to, any or all of the following; criminal tampering,
electrical or communications disruption, it is possible for
the system to fail to perform as expected. ALARM LOCK
does not represent that the product/system may not be
compromised or circumvented; or that the product or
system will prevent any personal injury or property loss
by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; nor that the
product or system will in all cases provide adequate
warning or protection. A properly installed and maintained
alarm may only reduce risk of burglary, robbery, fire or
otherwise but it is not insurance or a guarantee that these
events will not occur. CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER
SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL
INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR OTHER LOSS
BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT FAILED TO GIVE
WARNING. Therefore, the installer should in turn advise
the consumer to take any and all precautions for his or
her safety including, but not limited to, fleeing the
premises and calling police or fire department, in order to
mitigate the possibilities of harm and/or damage.
ALARM LOCK is not an insurer of either the property
or safety of the user's family or employees, and limits its
liability for any loss or damage including incidental or
consequential damages to ALARM LOCK's original
selling price of the product regardless of the cause of
such loss or damage.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts or do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or
differentiate in their treatment of limitations of liability for
ordinary or gross negligence, so the above limitations or
exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you
specific legal rights and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
