LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke Networks product is warranted to be free from defects in material and
workmanship under normal use and service unless stated otherwise herein. The warranty
period for the mainframe is one year and begins on the date of purchase. Parts,
accessories, product repairs and services are warranted for 90 days, unless otherwise
stated. Ni-Cad, Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries, cables or other peripherals are all considered
parts or accessories. The warranty extends only to the original buyer or end user
customer of a Fluke Networks authorized reseller, and does not apply to any product
which, in Fluke Networks’ opinion, has been misused, abused, altered, neglected,
contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling.
Fluke Networks warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with
its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on nondefective media. Fluke Networks does not warrant that software will be error free or
operate without interruption.
Fluke Networks authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused
products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or
different warranty on behalf of Fluke Networks. Warranty support is available only if
product is purchased through a Fluke Networks authorized sales outlet or Buyer has
paid the applicable international price. To the extent permitted by law, Fluke Networks
reserves the right to invoice Buyer for repair/replacement when a product purchased in
one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke Networks warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke Networks option, to refund of
the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is
returned to a Fluke Networks authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke Networks authorized service
center to obtain return authorization information, then send the product to that
service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB
destination). Fluke Networks assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty
repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB destination).
If Fluke Networks determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination,
alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation or handling, or normal wear and
tear of mechanical components, Fluke Networks will provide an estimate of repair costs
and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product
will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the
repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND 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 PURPOSE.
FLUKE NETWORKS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY
CAUSE OR THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied
warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the
limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision
of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of
competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any
other provision.
