Limited Warranty
VISTA Electronics, Inc., warrants its hardware products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and service, for the period of three (3) years from the date of purchase from VISTA.

Any replaced or repaired product or part has a ninety (90) day warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is longer. This warranty is nontransferable.

If a VISTA product does not operate as warranted above, Customer’s sole remedy shall be repair or replacement, at VISTA’s option. In no event shall VISTA’s liability exceed the amount paid by Customer for the product. The foregoing warranties and remedies are exclusive and are in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, either in fact or by operation of law, statutory or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. VISTA neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it any other liability in connection with the sale, installation, maintenance or use of its products.
VISTA shall not be liable under this warranty if its testing and examination disclose that the alleged defect in the product does not exist or was caused by Customer’s or any third party’s misuse, neglect, improper installation or testing, unauthorized attempts to repair, or any other cause beyond the range of the intended use, or by accident, fire, lightning, or other hazard.
Limitation of Liability
In no event, whether based in contract or tort (including negligence) shall VISTA be liable for incidental, consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages of any kind, or for loss of revenue, loss of business, or other financial loss arising out of or in connection with the sale, installation, maintenance, use, performance, failure or interruption of its products, even if VISTA has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products, so the above limitations and exclusion may not apply to Customer. This warranty gives Customer specific legal rights that may vary from state to state.
