NuForce’s Limited Warranty and Limitation of Liabilities
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS
FOR CONSUMERS, WHO ARE COVERED BY CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS OR REGULATIONS IN THEIR COUNTRY OF
PURCHASE OR, IF DIFFERENT, THEIR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE, THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS WARRANTY ARE IN
ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONVEYED BY SUCH CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS. THIS
WARRANTY DOES NOT EXCLUDE, LIMIT OR SUSPEND ANY RIGHTS OF CONSUMERS ARISING OUT OF NONCONFORMITY WITH A
SALES CONTRACT. SOME COUNTRIES, STATES AND PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION
MAY LAST, SO THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS DESCRIBED BELOW MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY BY COUNTRY, STATE OR PROVINCE. THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY IS GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THE PRODUCT
PURCHASE TOOK PLACE.
LIMITED WARRANTY
For a period of TWO (2) YEARS from the date of retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser (“Warranty Period”), NuForce
warrants (i) this product against defects in materials and workmanship, and (ii) that each Product, unmodified and under normal use
and conditions, will substantially comply with NuForce’ applicable written technical documentation for the Product. NuForce
reserves the right to make substitutions and modifications from time to time in the specifications of Products sold by NuForce,
provided that such substitutions or modifications do not materially affect overall Product performance.
If a hardware defect exists and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period, at its option and to the extent permitted by law,
NuForce will (1) repair the hardware defect at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, (2) exchange the product with
a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to
the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product. NuForce may request that you replace defective parts with user-
installable new or refurbished parts that NuForce provides in fulfillment of its warranty obligation. A replacement product/part
assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever
provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the
replaced item becomes NuForce's property. When a refund is given, your product becomes NuForce's property.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
If you purchased the product in the U.S., deliver the product, at your expense, to any NuForce Service Center located in the U.S. If
you purchased the product outside of the U.S., deliver the product to any NuForce Authorized Importer in the country where you
purchased the product. Be aware, however, that not all countries have NuForce Authorized Service Providers (‘NASP’) and not all
Authorized Service Providers outside the country of purchase have all parts or replacement units for the product. If the product
cannot be repaired or replaced in the country it is in, it may need to be sent to a different country or returned to the country of
purchase at your expense for repair or replacement. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of original purchase, you
will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other
associated taxes and charges. Where international service is available, NuForce may repair or exchange defective products and
parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards.
You can always deliver the product to NuForce’s U.S. main service center for obtaining warranty service, however, you may have to
pay for return shipping cost.
NuForce may send you user-installable new or refurbished replacement product or parts to enable you to service or exchange your
own product (“DIY Service”). Upon receipt of the replacement product or part, the original product or part becomes the property of
NuForce and you agree to follow instructions, including, if required, arranging the return of original product or part to NuForce in a
timely manner.
When providing DIY Service requiring the return of the original product or part, NuForce may require a credit card authorization as
security for the retail price of the replacement product or part and applicable shipping costs. If you follow instructions, NuForce will
cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the product or part and shipping costs. If you fail to return the
replaced product or part as instructed or the replaced product or part is not eligible for warranty service, NuForce will charge the
credit card for the authorized amount.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
This Limited Warranty applies only to hardware products manufactured by or for NuForce that can be identified by the "NuForce"
trademark, trade name, or logo affixed to them. The Limited Warranty does not apply to any non-NuForce hardware products or any
accessories, even if packaged or sold with NuForce hardware. Non-NuForce manufacturers, suppliers, may provide their own
warranties. Other accessories distributed by NuForce under the NuForce brand name are not covered under this Limited Warranty.
This warranty does not apply: (a) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, misapplication, liquid contact, fire, earthquake, non-
NuForce products, or other external causes; (b) to damage caused by service performed by anyone who is not a NASP; (c) to a
product or a part that has been modified without the written permission of NuForce; (d) to consumable parts, such as batteries, or
protective coatings designed to diminish over time unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (e) to
cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents, and broken plastic on ports; (f) to defects caused by normal wear
and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the product; or (g) if any NuForce serial number has been removed or defaced.
Important: Do not open the hardware product. Opening the hardware product may cause damage that is not covered by this warranty.
Only NuForce or a NASP should perform service on this hardware product.
THIS WARRANTY AND REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES
AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NUFORCE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
