lifetime warranty for the Merlin VGA base at a one-time cost of $299.00.  

this option can be selected on the warranty registration form and it is only available to the 

individual purchaser. 

Enhanced Vision warrants Merlin VGA base against defects in materials and 

workmanship under normal use for the lifetime of the individual purchaser. Enhanced Vision, at its 

option, will at no charge either repair the product or replace it during the warranty period. 

the lifetime warranty is non-transferable and only valid for an individual purchaser.  

this warranty is not available for international customers.

On the warranty card the purchaser will be asked to select between the three-year (no-cost) 

or lifetime warranty for a one-time fee of $299.00.  If lifetime coverage is elected, a $299.00 

check made payable to “Enhanced Vision” will need to be included with the warranty form. 

the lifetime product warranty is only valid if the product is registered within 30 days of

warranty registration form.

local Enhanced Vision representative or call us at  (800) 440-9476.  

Restrictions

All product purchases need to be registered with Enhanced Vision.  Registering the product confirms 

the right to maximum protection and service of the product warranty.  If no selection is made on the 

warranty form or payment is missing, the individual purchaser will default to the three-year warranty.
The lifetime warranty is non-transferable and does not apply to groups, multi-users, companies or 

agencies.  It has been designed for end-consumer / individual purchaser.  Agencies, states, group 

homes, classrooms and demo site units will receive Enhanced Vision standard 3-year product 

warranty detailed above.  Enhanced Vision also reserves the right to repair or replace any 

purchasers Merlin VGA with a similar or better product.

In the case that the end-consumer / original individual resells the Merlin VGA within a 3 year time 

period from original purchase date and the product is resold by a recognized manufacturer 

representative, the Merlin VGA warranty will default to the balance of what remains of the standard 3 

year warranty (from original purchase date).  The lifetime warranty would be void. 
Consider the example below: 
After one year Mary Smith’s vision deteriorates past using the Merlin VGA to assist her. She resells 

the Merlin VGA to a recognized Enhanced Vision manufacturer representative, and he/she then sells 

the Merlin VGA to Anne Clark.  Anne Clark will receive a four-year warranty with the Merlin VGA (the 

amount left on a standard three year warranty).  

Anne will need to complete and submit a warranty registration form, marking the box that she 

is a “converted original owner” and provide the serial number for the product.  

the 3-year and optional lifetime product warranty does not cover the following:

1. Defects or damage from misuse, use in other than suggested manner, accident or neglect.
2. Defects or damage from improper operation, maintenance, installation, adjustment,  

 

alterations or modification.

3. Defects from spills of food or liquid.
4. All plastic surfaces and all other externally exposed parts that are scratched or damaged due to 

normal use.

5. Damage due to operating Merlin VGA with equipment not supplied by Enhanced Vision.
6. Light bulbs that are not covered under warranty.
