Warranty
Limited Lifetime Warranty
This SnapAV® product has a Lifetime Limited Warranty and a 5-Year Network Connectivity Warranty. The Lifetime Limited
Warranty includes parts and labor repairs on all components found to be defective in material or workmanship under
normal conditions of use. This warranty shall not apply to products which have been abused, modied or disassembled.
Products to be repaired under this warranty must be returned to SnapAV or a designated service center with prior
notication and an assigned return authorization number (RA).
Lifetime Replacement Policy
Valid only in the United States and Canada. If your SnapAV surge protector becomes damaged while protecting your
connected equipment, you may request an equivalent replacement to the latest technology of that product category. Keep
a copy of the original invoice to verify the product belongs to the original purchaser.
Warning Notice
WARRANTY LIMITATION FOR INTERNET PURCHASERS:
SnapAV products purchased outside of the SnapAV internet website do not carry a valid Connected Equipment Protection
Policy unless purchased from an Authorized SnapAV Dealer.
CAUTION: Audio/Video, computer and/or telephone system installations can be very complex systems, which consist
of many interconnected components. Due to the nature of electricity and surges, a single protector may not be able
to completely protect complex installations. In those cases, a systemic approach using multiple protectors must be
employed. Systemic protection requires professional design. AC power, satellite cables, CATV cables, or telephone/
network lines entering the system that do not pass through this surge protector will render the SnapAV connected
equipment protection policy null and void. For additional information on how to protect your system, please contact
SnapAV before connecting your equipment to the surge protector.
THIS POLICY IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS BELOW:
1. PROOF OF PURCHASE REQUIRED:
SnapAV’s connected equipment policy extends to the original purchaser of the SnapAV product only and is nontransferable.
Original purchase receipts must accompany any product return or claim for connected equipment damage.
2. PROPER INSTALLATION:
SnapAV AC protectors must be directly plugged into a properly grounded 3-wire AC outlet. Extension cords, non-grounded
two prong adapters, or other non-SnapAV surge products must not be used. Building wiring and other connections to
protected equipment must conform to applicable codes (NEC or CEC). No other ground wires or ground connections may
be used. All wires (ie.g., AC power lines, telephone lines, signal/data lines, coaxial cable, etc.) leading into the protected
equipment must rst pass through a single SnapAV protector designed for the particular application. The protector and
the equipment to be protected must be indoors in a dry location, and in the same building. SnapAV installation instructions
and diagrams must be followed.
3. NOTIFICATION:
You must notify SnapAV within fourteen days of any event precipitating a request for product replacement or payment
for connected equipment damage. A return authorization (RA) number must rst be obtained from the SnapAV Customer

returned within 30 days. Be sure to note its conguration before disconnecting your equipment.
4. DETERMINATION OF FAILURE:
SnapAV will evaluate the protector for surge damage. The protector must show signs of surge damage or must be
performing outside of design specications relative to its surge protection capability. Opening the enclosure, tampering
with, or modifying the unit in any way shall be grounds for an automatic denial of your request for payment. SnapAV, after
evaluating all information provided, shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not your request is eligible for payment.
If the surge protector shows no signs of AC power or signal line surge damage and is working within design specications,
SnapAV will return the unit to you explaining the test results and notifying you of the rejection of your claim. SnapAV
reserves the right to inspect the damaged connected equipment, parts, or circuit boards. SnapAV also reserves the right to
inspect the customer’s facility. Damaged equipment deemed uneconomical to repair must remain available for inspection
by SnapAV until the claim is nalized.
5. REQUEST PAYMENTS:
Once SnapAV has determined that you are entitled to compensation, SnapAV will, at its election, pay you the present fair
market value of the damaged equipment, or pay for the cost of the repair, or send you replacement equipment, or pay the
equivalence of replacement equipment.
6. OTHER INSURANCE/WARRANTIES:
This coverage is secondary to any existing manufacturer’s warranty, implied or expressed, or any insurance and/or service
contract that may cover the loss.
