GigaPACK Preface

Two Year Limited Warranty

Inova Computers (‘Inova’) grant the original purchaser of Inova products the following hardware warranty. No other warranties that may be granted or implied by anyone on behalf of Inova are valid unless the consumer has the expressed written consent of Inova.

Inova warrants their own products (excluding software) to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 24 consecutive months from the date of purchase. This warranty is not transferable nor extendible to cover any other consumers or long term storage of the product.

This warranty does not cover products which have been modified, altered, or repaired by any other party than Inova or their authorized agents. Furthermore, any product which has been, or is suspected of being damaged as a result of negligence, misuse, incorrect handling, servicing or maintenance; or has been damaged as a result of excessive current/voltage or temperature; or has had its serial number(s), any other markings, or parts thereof altered, defaced, or removed will also be excluded from this warranty.

A customer who has not excluded his eligibility for this warranty may, in the event of any claim, return the product at the earliest possible convenience, together with a copy of the original proof of purchase, a full description of the application it is used on, and a description of the defect; to the original place of purchase.

Pack the product in such a way as to ensure safe transportation (we recommend the original packing materials), whereby Inova undertakes to repair or replace any part, assembly or subassembly at our discretion; or, to refund the original cost of purchase, if appropriate.

In the event of repair, refund, or replacement of any part, the ownership of the removed or replaced parts reverts to Inova, and the remaining part of the original guarantee, or any new guarantee to cover the repaired or replaced items, will be transferred to cover the new or repaired items. Any extensions to the original guarantee are considered gestures of goodwill, and will be defined in the “Repair Report” returned from Inova with the repaired or replaced item.

Other than the repair, replacement, or refund specified above, Inova will not accept any liability for any further claims which result directly or indirectly from any warranty claim. We specifically exclude any claim for damage to any system or process in which the product was employed, or any loss incurred as a result of the product not functioning at any given time. The extent of

Inova’s liability to the customer shall not be greater than the original purchase price of the item for which any claim exists.

Inova makes no warranty or representation, either expressed or implied, with respect to its products, reliability, fitness, quality, marketability or ability to fulfil any particular application or purpose. As a result, the products are sold “as is,” and the responsibility to ensure their suitability for any given task remains the purchaser’s. In no event will Inova be liable for direct, indirect, or consequential damages resulting from the use of our hardware or software products, or documentation; even if we were advised of the possibility of such claims prior to the purchase of, or during any period since the purchase of the product. Please remember that no Inova employee, dealer, or agent are authorized to make any modification or addition to the above terms, either verbally or in any other form written or electronically transmitted, without consent.
