Limited Warranty 

 

ENFORA L.P. 12-MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY 

 
Enfora warrants to the original purchaser of the product that, for a period of one (1) year 
from the date of product purchase, the product hardware, when used in conjunction with 
any associated software (including any firmware and applications) supplied by Enfora, 
will be free from defects in material or workmanship under normal operation. 

Enfora 

further warrants to such original purchaser that, for a period of ninety (90) days

 from the 

date of product purchase,

 any software associated with the product will perform 

substantially in accordance with the user documentation provided by Enfora, and any 
software media provided with the product will be free from defects in material or 
workmanship under normal operation. 

Enfora does not warrant that the product 

hardware or any associated software will meet the purchaser’s requirements or that the 
operation of the product hardware or software will be uninterrupted or error-free. This 
limited warranty is only for the benefit of the original purchaser and is not transferable.  
 
During the warranty period applicable to the product hardware, Enfora, at its expense 
and in its sole discretion, will repair or replace the product if it is determined to have a 
covered hardware defect, provided that the purchaser first notifies Enfora of any such 
defect, furnishes Enfora with a proof of purchase, requests and obtains a return 
merchandize authorization (RMA) number from Enfora, and returns the product, shipping 
charges prepaid, to Enfora under that RMA. If, upon reasonable examination of the 
returned product, Enfora does not substantiate the defect claimed by purchaser, or 
determines that the defect is not covered under this limited warranty, Enfora will not be 
required to repair or replace the product, but may instead reship the product to the 
purchaser, in which case purchaser shall be responsible for paying Enfora’s usual 
charges for unpacking, testing, and repacking the product for reshipment to purchaser. 
Purchaser shall bear the risk of loss or damage in transit to any product returned by 
purchaser to Enfora, or any returned product not found to be defective or covered under 
this warranty and reshipped by Enfora to purchaser. In the event Enfora repairs or 
replaces a defective product, the repaired or replacement product will be warranted for 
the remainder of the original warranty period on the defective product. If Enfora is unable 
to repair or replace a defective product, the purchaser’s exclusive remedy shall be a 
refund of the original purchase price. Any returned and replaced product, or any product 
for which Enfora has refunded the original purchase price, becomes the property of 
Enfora. 
 
During the warranty period applicable to the software or its media, Enfora, at its 
expense, will replace any defective software or media if purchaser gives written 
notification of the defect to the technical support department at Enfora during the 
applicable warranty period. Enfora shall not have any obligation to provide any software 
bug fixes, upgrades or new releases except as necessary to correct any covered defect 
of which purchaser notifies Enfora during the applicable warranty period. 
 
Enfora shall have no obligation under this limited warranty for (a) normal wear and tear, 
(b) the cost of procurement of substitute products or (c) any defect that is (i) discovered 
by purchaser during the warranty period but purchaser does not notify or request an 
RMA number from Enfora, as required above, until after the end of the warranty period,
