Limited Warranty

Effective April 1, 1998, all products carry a 2-year limited warranty.  Within two years of purchase,
ICS Advent will repair or replace, at our option, any defective product.  ICS Advent will service the
warranty for all standard catalog products for the first two years from the date of shipment.
Please note: The 2-year warranty may not apply to special promotion items. Please consult the factory for
warranty verification.

The limited warranty is void if the product has been subjected to alteration, neglect, misuse, or abuse; if any
repairs have been attempted by anyone other than ICS Advent or its authorized agent; or if the failure is
caused by accident, acts of God, or other causes beyond the control of ICS Advent or the manufacturer.
Neglect, misuse, and abuse shall include any installation, operation, or maintenance of the product other than
in accordance with the user’s manual.

No agent, dealer, distributor, service company, or other party is authorized to change, modify, or extend the
terms of this Limited Warranty in any manner whatsoever.  ICS Advent reserves the right to make changes
or improvements in any product without incurring any obligation to similarly alter products previously
purchased.
