RINEX LIMITED WARRANTY
Products
This warranty covers all products (the “Products”) manufactured and or sold by RINEX
Technology or their authorised dealers.
RINEX Technology Limited Warranty
RINEX Technology (“RINEX”) hereby warrants solely to the end purchaser of the Products,
subject to the exclusions and procedures set forth herein below, that the Products sold to
such end purchaser shall be free, under normal use and maintenance, from defects in
material and workmanship for a period of 12 months from delivery. Repairs and replacement
components are warranted, subject to the exclusions and procedures set forth below, to be
free, under normal use and maintenance, from defects in material and workmanship for 90
days from delivery, or for the balance of the original warranty period, whichever is greater.
Purchaser’s Exclusive Remedy
The end purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this warranty shall be limited to the repair or
replacement, at the option of RINEX, of any defective Products or components thereof. The
end user shall notify RINEX or a RINEX authorised dealer immediately of any claimed defect.
Repairs shall be made through RINEX only.
Exclusions
RINEX does not warrant damage occurring in transit or due to misuse, abuse, improper
installation, neglect, alteration, abnormal use, lightning (or other electrical discharge),
exposure to moisture or dampness, excessive temperatures, spill of liquids or fluids, or acts
of God. Repair, modification or service of RINEX products by any party other than an
authorised RINEX dealer shall render this warranty null and void. RINEX does not warrant
any Product where the Product serial number or nameplate has been removed, defaced or
altered. RINEX does not warrant claims asserted after the end of the warranty period.
RINEX does not warrant or guarantee the precision or accuracy of positions obtained when
using Products. The potential accuracy of Products as stated in RINEX literature and/or
Product specifications serves to provide only an estimate of achievable accuracy based on:
•Specifications provided by the US Department of Defense for GPS Positioning,
•GPS OEM Receiver specifications of the appropriate manufacturer (if applicable), and
•DGPS service provider performance specifications.
RINEX reserves the right to modify Products without any obligation to notify, supply or install
any improvements or alterations to existing Products.
No Other Warranties
The foregoing warranty is exclusive of all warranties, whether written, oral, implied or arising
by statute, course of dealing or trade usage, in connection with the design, sale, installation,
service or use of any products or any components thereof, including, but not limited to, any
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
Limitation of Liability
The extent of RINEX’S liability for damages of any nature to the end purchaser or any other
person or entity whether in contract or tort and whether to persons or property shall in no
case exceed, in the aggregate, the cost of correcting the defect in the Product or, at RINEX’S
option, the cost of replacing the defective item. In no event will RINEX be liable for any loss
of production, loss of profits, loss of use for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or
contingent damages, even if RINEX has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Without limiting the foregoing, RINEX shall not be liable for any damages of any kind
resulting from installation, use, quality, performance or accuracy of any products.
RINEX LIMITED WARRANTY
Governing Legislation
To the greatest extent possible, this warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Western Australia. In the event that any provision hereof is held to be invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed from this warranty and the remaining
provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Obtaining Warranty Service
In order to obtain warranty service, the end purchaser must bring the Product to an
authorised RINEX dealer along with the end purchaser’s proof of purchase. The end
purchaser must produce the original invoice or other purchase documents as proof of the
purchase date.
The end purchaser is solely responsible for the cost of transportation of the Product to
RINEX or an authorised RINEX dealer and the Product is at the end purchaser's risk whilst in
transit.
