Limited Warranty

QSI Corporation warrants that its products are free from defects in materials and manufacturing, under normal use, for a period of one (1) year from the date of original shipment. QSI further warrants that its products, when shipped, comply with the explicit product specifications contained in QSI's currently effective sales literature within the tolerances therein stated, determined in accordance with QSI's standard test procedures.

QSI will, at its option, repair or replace any product which does not comply with this warranty. The purchaser shall bear all costs of shipping products for which warranty coverage is sought to QSI's factory in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Purchaser shall pay all costs of removal and reinstallation of the product.

This warranty is voided by: (1) Any modification or attempted modification to the product done by anyone other than an authorized QSI employee (other than user adjustments performed in accordance with QSI product manuals); (2) If power supplied to the product exceeds the stated tolerance, or if the product is operated in environments exceeding the product's stated tolerance for temperature, humidity, moisture, radiation or electromagnetic fields; (3) Any abuse, negligent handling or misapplication of the product, or (4) Any alteration, removal or obstruction of the serial number.

This warranty excludes (1) physical damage to the surface of the product, including scratches or cracks on the legend, touch screen or outside case, (2) normal wear items, including bulbs, fuses and batteries, (3) damage caused by the device or system to which the product is connected.

This constitutes the sole warranty made by QSI. There are no other warranties, expressed or implied, which extend beyond those described herein or to anyone other than the original purchaser, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, correspondence with description and non-infringement, all of which are expressly disclaimed by QSI. In no event shall QSI be liable for any incidental or consequential damages, or for the infringement of any patent rights or third party rights due to the use of its products, even if QSI has been advised of the possibility of such damages. QSI's entire liability shall be limited to repair, replacement or refund of the purchase price paid, at QSI's option.

This limited warranty shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Utah, excluding the principles of conflicts of law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby excluded in its entirety from application to this Limited Warranty.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights; you may have other rights that vary depending on local law. Some countries, states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages. The above limitations may therefore be limited in their application. When implied warranties may not be excluded in their entirety, they will be limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty.
