LIMITED WARRANTY

American Power Conversion (APC) warrants its Smart-UPS (Products) to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three (3) years, excluding the batteries, which are warranted for two (2) years from date of purchase. APC's obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, at its own sole option, any such defective products.

APC shall not be liable under this warranty if its testing and examination disclose that the alleged defect in the Product does not exist or that it was caused by end user's or any third person's misuse, negligence, improper installation, testing, operation or use of the Product contrary to APC's recommendations or specifications. Further, APC shall not be liable for defects resulting from:

1)unauthorized attempts to repair or modify the Product, 2) incorrect or inadequate electrical voltage or connection, 3) inappropriate on-site operation conditions, 4) Acts of God, 5) exposure to the elements, or 6) theft. In no event shall APC have any liability under this warranty for any Product where the serial number has been altered, defaced, or removed.

APC EXPRESS WARRANTIES WILL NOT BE ENLARGED, DIMINISHED, OR AFFECTED BY AND NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY WILL ARISE OUT OF, APC's RENDERING OF TECHNICAL OR OTHER ADVICE OR SERVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCTS.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES. THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE CONSTITUTE APC'S SOLE LIABILITY AND PURCHASER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF SUCH WARRANTIES.
