Further specifications of the limited hardware warranty:
- The period of warranty is either the period stated on the delivery note /
warranty list and commences on the date of purchase of the product or
defined by validity of support services purchased for corresponding
products.
- The warranty covers either repair or replacement to guarantee the correct
function of the product. The product submitted for warranty
repair/replacement must be complete and should be sent in the original
packaging. Unless the agreement states otherwise, all shipment costs of
warranty service are paid by the customer. The warranty applies to
product/material defects.
- The warranty does not apply to miscellaneous consumer goods (batteries, CDs,
etc.), defects due to the improper use, storage or handling of the product,
defects due to wrong product manipulation/usage, defects due to usage in an
improper operational environment, defects due to natural disasters or
vandalism, defects due to incorrect installation or configuration, defects
due to unauthorized service, defects due to operation by an unauthorized
person/organization.
- The warranty does not apply when unoriginal or unauthorized software is
used. The warranty is voided if the manufacturer seal is damaged, if the
customer or another unauthorized organization modifies or repairs the
product.
- The warranty period is not extended if Flowmon repairs or replaces a
warranted product or any parts.
- Flowmon may refuse to provide a service if, in its opinion, providing the
service creates an unreasonable risk to Flowmon or its service providers.
Flowmon may cancel the service if the customer is abusive, threatening, or
refuses to cooperate with the assisting analyst or onsite technician. Such
cancellation shall not entitle the customer to any refund of fees paid.
- Subject to applicable law, the customer agrees to release Flowmon and its
affiliates and partners from any liability for any claims by the customer,
other than claims for reckless acts or acts deliberately intended to cause
harm to the customer or the site, by any person or entity engaged by Flowmon
to deliver the services if such person or entity is unescorted by the
customer. The customer will indemnify Flowmon and its affiliates and
partners for claims by any third party related to the performance of the
services, other than reckless acts or acts deliberately intended to cause
harm to the customer or the site by any person or entity engaged by Flowmon,
that are filed against Flowmon in connection with the services performed
during a period of unescorted access to the customer’s site.
- These services may require Flowmon to access hardware or software that is
not manufactured by Flowmon. Some manufacturers’ warranties may become void
if Flowmon or anyone else other than the manufacturer works on the hardware
or software. The customer will ensure that Flowmon’s performance of services
will not affect such warranties or, if it does, that the effect will be
acceptable to the customer. Flowmon does not take responsibility for
third-party warranties or for any effect that the services may have on those
warranties.
Upon contacting Flowmon, the customer will be required to engage in a remote
diagnosis session to help determine the cause of theissue. Remote diagnosis
may require the customer to access a specific service product interface, and
multiple extended sessions may take place. If Flowmon determines that the
issue is the result of a defect in materials or workmanship, but cannot be
resolved remotely, Flowmon, at its sole discretion, may dispatch a replacement
part, arrange for the customer to send product or defective part back to
Flowmon’s repair depot or replace the part of the product with a comparable
part or product that may be new or refurbished. If the Flowmon limited
hardware warranty for the product includes onsite warranty service, then
Flowmon may also elect to dispatch a service technician to the customer’s
location to perform the repair or replacement. Both the performance of service
and service response times depend upon the time of day the request is received
by Flowmon, service alternatives the customer purchased, parts availability,
geographical restrictions, weather conditions and the terms of this limited
hardware warranty. The customer must grant the service technician full access
to the system and (at no cost to Flowmon) have a working space, electricity
and a local telephone line. If these requirements are lacking, Flowmon is not
obligated to provide the service.
Data Backup and Removal of Confidential Data
The customer will complete a backup of all existing data, software and
programs on all affected systems prior to and during the delivery of the
support service. The customer should make regular backup copies of the data
stored on all affected systems as a precaution against possible failures,
alterations, or loss of data. In addition, the customer is responsible for
removing any confidential, proprietary, or personal information and any
removable media such as SIM cards, CDs, or PC Cards regardless of whether an
onsite technician is also providing assistance. Flowmon will not be
responsible for the restoration or reinstallation of any programs or data.
FLOWMON WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR:
- ANY OF THE CUSTOMER’S CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY OR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
- LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, PROGRAM OR SOFTWARE.
- DAMAGED OR LOST REMOVABLE MEDIA.
- THE LOSS OF USE OF A SYSTEM OR NETWORK.
- AND/OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, BY FLOWMON OR A
THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER.
