DIGIMERGE MAKES NO CLAIMS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER REGARDING THE PRODUCT’S
ABILITY OR EFFECTIVENESS IN PREVENTING OR REDUCING THE RISK OF, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM, LOSS
OR THEFT OF PROPERTY OR PERSONAL INJURY.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE.

REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE
PURCHASER. DIGIMERGE SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE,
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PERSONAL
INJURY, LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS, FAILURE TO REALIZE SAVINGS OR OTHER BENEFITS, OR CLAIMS

No claims or statements regarding the product, whether written or verbal, by salespeople, retailers, dealers or distributors, that
are not contained in this limited warranty or in the owner's manual are authorized by Digimerge and do not modify or expand this
warranty.

Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or
consequential damages for certain products supplied to consumers or the limitation of liability for personal injury. To the extent
that such restrictions on limitations apply to the products, the above limitations and exclusions may be limited in their application.
In that case, when the implied warranties are not allowed to be excluded in their entirety, they will be limited to the duration of the
applicable written warranty, and if damages may not be limited then the above limitations on damages apply, but only to the
greatest extent permitted by local law.
