Warranty begins from the date of shipment  from  a  ThoughtCast  facility.  The  warranty  is  extended  to  customers  and  applies  to  all  ThoughtCast manufactured equipment purchased, installed, and used for the purpose for which such equipment was originally designed. The above warranties cover only defects arising under normal use and do not include malfunctions or failures resulting from misuse, abuse, neglect, alteration, problems with electrical power, usage not in accordance with product instructions, acts of nature, or improper installation or repairs made by anyone other than ThoughtCast or a ThoughtCast authorized third-party service provider.

WARRANTY CLAIMS AND PROCEDURES

 

1.   During the applicable Standard Equipment Warranty Period outlined above, customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the Standard Equipment Warranty will be, at ThoughtCast’s sole discretion and option, the repair or replacement of the defective product. Components that customer claims to be defective must be available to ThoughtCast for inspection and evaluation. To be entitled to rights under the Standard Equipment Warranty, the customer must notify ThoughtCast in writing within seven (7) days after discovering a suspected defect in any product, but in any event prior to the expiration of the applicable Standard Equipment Warranty Period. Following its receipt of any such customer notice, ThoughtCast will determine whether the reported problem is covered by this Standard Equipment Warranty. If ThoughtCast determines that the problem is covered, ThoughtCast will authorize repair or replacement of the defective product, as deemed appropriate by ThoughtCast in its sole discretion.

 

2.    Before shipping any product to ThoughtCast, the customer must obtain a written return authorization from ThoughtCast, and provide any proof of warranty eligibility requested by ThoughtCast. Any product received by ThoughtCast without a return authorization may, at ThoughtCast’s option, be returned to the customer collect. Once a return authorization is obtained, the customer is responsible for packing and shipping the product/component to which its warranty claim relates to a service facility designated by ThoughtCast, within seven (7) days after receipt of the return authorization.

 

3.    ThoughtCast will provide customer with new, rebuilt, refurbished or alternate equipment (or part thereof) of equal or improved quality, as exchange equipment (or part thereof) to replace eligible defective equipment (or part thereof). Any alternate equipment (or part thereof) will meet or exceed the specifications of the replaced equipment (or part thereof). Rebuilt or refurbished equipment may bear cosmetic blemishes that do not affect performance. Unless otherwise specified by ThoughtCast in writing, repaired or replaced equipment (or parts thereof) are covered only for the remainder of the term of the applicable Standard Equipment Warranty. All defective equipment (or parts thereof) replaced by ThoughtCast become the property of ThoughtCast. ThoughtCast has no obligation to (i) service, exchange or otherwise replace any equipment (or part thereof) that has been damaged, modified, abused, misused or over-used as determined by ThoughtCast or has been used with non-ThoughtCast supplies or products that have caused damage or malfunction; (ii) paint, refinish, refurbish, restore or exchange any equipment (or part thereof) with cosmetic blemishes; (iii) service, exchange or otherwise replace any equipment (or part thereof) if the same would interfere with, impede or be redundant with normal or scheduled maintenance of such equipment (or part thereof); (iv) service, exchange or otherwise replace any equipment (or part thereof) that is within ninety (90) days of the end of its production life; or (v) provide any 3rd party application software support or service involving application hardware or replace any accessories. If ThoughtCast elects to perform any such services at customer’s request, then such services will be deemed a service call and all labor, parts and materials used for the service call will be charged at ThoughtCast’s then - prevailing rates.
