Whenever the date of the first sale is not well specified, the date of shipping from SPE to
the Distributor/Dealer will be considered the start of the warranty period.
The warranty does not apply either if the certificate of the first purchase (invoice) is
missing, the s/n is undecipherable / falsified or to any defect that SPE determines is due
to the following:
1. Improper maintenance or repair by persons not authorised by SPE to carry out such
work, including the installation of parts or accessories that do not conform to the
quality and specifications of the original parts.
2. Acts of nature such as lightning, storm & tempest, moisture or water intrusion, fire.
3. Misuse, abuse, neglect or improper installation, user’s manual non-observance.
4. Carelessness, accidental or intentional damage.
5. In the manual of the transceiver used it is clearly written that it cannot be used
with a solid state amplifier.
In addition and more specifically possible damage caused by incorrect usage such as:
• Exceeding power ratings of antennas, insufficient impedance transformers and
insufficient baluns.
• RFI in the shack.
• Low gate isolation due to the spike of the transceiver.
• Repeated input overdriving alarms.
• Repeated high SWR alarms.
SPE warrants only manufacturing defects and defects in the materials used, NOT inherent
and consequent damages.
It is mandatory, when sending SPE equipment to be repaired, to enclose:
• Invoice of the original purchase.
• Document of the second purchase (if any).
Particular agreements between retailer and Purchaser or particular obligations imposed in
other countries are matters for the local retailer and not for SPE.
In the event of dispute Rome’s court of competent jurisdiction will apply.
The Purchaser declares his acceptance of the above Warranty Terms.
