Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (BT) will at its sole option, either repair or replace (with a new or factory reconditioned product, as BT may 

determine) any product manufactured by BT which proves to be defective in materials or workmanship or fails to meet the specifications which are 

in effect on the date of shipment or such other specifications as may have been expressly agreed upon in writing (i) for a period of one (1) year from 

the date of original purchase (or such shorter period of time as may be set forth in the license agreement specific to the particular software being

licensed), with respect to iCentral™ (hardware and software) and all other software products (including embedded software) licensed from BT, (ii) )

for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase, with respect to all MegaPort™, IPTV products, and fiber optics receivers, transmitters,

couplers and integrated receiver/distribution amplifiers (including TRAILBLAZER™, RETRO-LINX™ and TWIN STAR™ products) as well as for 

DigiCipher ® satellite receivers, and (iii) for a period of three (3) years from the date of original purchase, with respect to all other BT products. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases, the warranty on certain proprietary sub-assembly modules manufactured by third-party vendors and 

contained in BT products and on certain private–label products manufactured by third-parties for resale by BT are of shorter duration or otherwise 

more limited than the standard BT limited warranty. In such cases, BT's warranty with respect to such third-party proprietary sub-assembly modules 

and private-label products will be limited to the duration and other terms of such third-party vendor's warranty. In addition, certain products, that are 

not manufactured but are resold by BT, carry the original OEM warranty for such products. The limited warranty set forth in this paragraph does not 

apply to any product sold by BT, which at the time of sale constituted a Refurbished/Closeout Product. 

(b)  BT will at its sole option, either repair or replace (with a new or factory-reconditioned product, as BT may determine) any product sold by BT

which at the time of sale constituted a refurbished or closeout item (“Refurbished/Closeout Product”), which proves to be defective in materials or

workmanship or fails to meet the specifications which are in effect on the date of shipment or such other specifications as may have been expressly

agreed upon in writing, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original purchase.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in some cases the

warranty on third party software and on certain proprietary sub-assembly modules manufactured by third-party vendors and contained in BT products 

and on certain private–label products manufactured by third-parties for resale by BT are of shorter duration or otherwise more limited than the BT

limited warranty for Refurbished/Closeout Products.  In such cases, BT's warranty for Refurbished/Closeout Products constituting such third party 

software, third-party proprietary sub-assembly modules and private-label products will be limited to the duration and other terms of such third-party 

vendor's warranty.  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) certain Refurbished/Closeout Products that are not manufactured (but are resold)

by BT, carry the original OEM warranty for such products, which may be longer or shorter than the BT limited warranty for Refurbished/Closeout 

Products.  All sales of Refurbished/Closeout Products are final. 

To obtain service under this warranty, the defective product, together with a copy of the sales receipt or other satisfactory proof of purchase and a 

brief description of the defect, must be shipped freight prepaid to: Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc., One Jake Brown Road, Old Bridge, New

This warranty does not cover damage resulting from (i) use or installation other than in strict accordance with manufacturer's written instructions, (ii)

disassembly or repair by someone other than the manufacturer or a manufacturer-authorized repair center, (iii) misuse, misapplication or abuse, (iv) 

alteration, (v) lack of reasonable care or (vi) wind, ice, snow, rain, lightning, or any other weather conditions or acts of God.

defective products is specifically limited to the defective item or to credit towards the original billing. All such replacements by BT shall be made

free of charge f.o.b. the delivery point called for in the original order. Products for which replacement has been made under the provisions of this
