Limited Warranty

Kontron grants the original purchaser of Kontron's products a TWO YEAR LIMITED HARDWARE WARRANTY as 
described in the following. However, no other warranties that may be granted or implied by anyone on behalf 
of Kontron are valid unless the consumer has the express written consent of Kontron.

Kontron warrants their own products, excluding software, to be free from manufacturing and material 
defects for a period of 24 consecutive months from the date of purchase. This warranty is not transferable nor 
extendible to cover any other users or long- term storage of the product. It does not cover products which 
have been modified, altered or repaired by any other party than Kontron or their authorized agents. 
Furthermore, any product which has been, or is suspected of being damaged as a result of negligence, 
improper use, incorrect handling, servicing or maintenance, or which has been damaged as a result of 
excessive current/voltage or temperature, or which has had its serial number(s), any other markings or parts 
thereof altered, defaced or removed will also be excluded from this warranty.

If the customer's eligibility for warranty has not been voided, in the event of any claim, he may return the 
product at the earliest possible convenience to the original place of purchase, together with a copy of the 
original document of purchase, a full description of the application the product is used on and a description 
of the defect. Pack the product in such a way as to ensure safe transportation (see our safety instructions).

Kontron provides for repair or replacement of any part, assembly or sub-assembly at their own discretion, or 
to refund the original cost of purchase, if appropriate. In the event of repair, refunding or replacement of 
any part, the ownership of the removed or replaced parts reverts to Kontron, and the remaining part of the 
original guarantee, or any new guarantee to cover the repaired or replaced items, will be transferred to cover 
the new or repaired items. Any extensions to the original guarantee are considered gestures of goodwill, and 
will be defined in the "Repair Report" issued by Kontron with the repaired or replaced item.

Kontron will not accept liability for any further claims resulting directly or indirectly from any warranty 
claim, other than the above specified repair, replacement or refunding. In particular, all claims for damage 
to any system or process in which the product was employed, or any loss incurred as a result of the product 
not functioning at any given time, are excluded. The extent of Kontron liability to the customer shall not 
exceed the original purchase price of the item for which the claim exists.

Kontron issues no warranty or representation, either explicit or implicit, with respect to its products' 
reliability, fitness, quality, marketability or ability to fulfil any particular application or purpose. As a result, 
the products are sold "as is," and the responsibility to ensure their suitability for any given task remains that 
of the purchaser. In no event will Kontron be liable for direct, indirect or consequential damages resulting 
from the use of our hardware or software products, or documentation, even if Kontron were advised of the 
possibility of such claims prior to the purchase of the product or during any period since the date of its 
purchase.

Please remember that no Kontron employee, dealer or agent is authorized to make any modification or 
addition to the above specified terms, either verbally or in any other form, written or electronically 
transmitted, without the company's consent.
