protector. In order to exercise its rights under this warranty, the claimant must produce the original dated proof of pur- chase or reasonably equivalent documen- tation. Under no circumstances shall this warranty benefit a third party, including an insurance company claiming through a right of subrogation or otherwise.
If the applicable Philips product is an AC surge protector only that does not have telephone or coaxial cable protection, this warranty does not apply if the power dis- turbance damages your equipment through the telephone or coaxial cable lines.
You are only covered if the disturbance entered through the AC line. In order to be covered for power transients that enter through the telephone or coaxial cable line, the connected equipment must be properly connected to a Philips product that includes telephone and/or coaxial cable line protection. If the applicable Philips product does have telephone or coaxial cable line protection, in order to claim damage as a result of telephone or coaxial cable service line transients, the equipment must be properly connected to the surge protector (see Handbook for installation instructions), and your telephone service equipment must include a properly installed and operating “primary protection” device at the service entrance. (Such devices are normally installed during line installation).
Philips reserves the right to investigate the surge protector, the damaged connected equipment and the site where the damage occurred. If Philips determines that it is
unrealistic to ship the damaged equipment to its facility, Philips may designate a local equipment repair facility to inspect and es- timate the cost to repair such equipment. Any and all costs of shipping the surge protector and the damaged equipment to and from Philips or to and from a Philips designated facility for inspection or repair is the responsibility of the claimant. Philips reserves the right to negotiate the cost of repairs. Damaged equipment must remain available for inspection until the claim is finalized. Whenever claims are settled, Philips reserves the right to be subrogated under any existing insurance policies the claimant may have.
This connected equipment warranty is null and void if:
the surge protector in use at the time of the Occurrence is not provided to Philips for inspection upon Philips’ request.
the surge protector was improperly installed, altered in any way or tampered with.
the surge protector was being used in a manner contrary to the owner’s manual or other instructions, labels or warnings accompanying the product.
the damage to the connected equipment did not result from an Occurrence, or no Occurrence in fact took place.
repair or replacement of the damaged connected equipment is covered under manufacturers’ warranty or any applicable extended warranties.
the damaged connected equipment was not plugged directly into the surge protector.
