These Limited Warranty Terms and Conditions (“Terms and conditions”) cover services provided by ORBITVU to customers (“Customers”) who have purchased hardware and/or software products (“Products”) from ORBITVU sp. z o. o. (“ORBITVU”) or from ORBITVU’s authorized resellers.
Unless otherwise specified in another written agreement, signed by authorized ORBITVU personnel, these Terms and Conditions constitute the complete and exclusive agreement regarding the warranty and service terms and conditions of ORBITVU branded Products. These Terms and Conditions supersede any prior agreements or representations—including representations made in ORBITVU sales literature or advice given to Customer by ORBITVU, an ORBITVU authorized reseller, or employee thereof—that may have been made in connection with Customer’s purchase of the Product.
These Terms and Conditions will be governed by the laws of the Republic of Poland.
ORBITVU may in its sole discretion modify the Terms and Conditions at any time and from time to time. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government or by any court, such invalidity will not affect the enforceability of other provisions in these Terms and Conditions.
Limited Hardware Warranty
ORBITVU warrants that each Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship.
ORBITVU warrants, that at ORBITVU’s own discretion, it will provide new Customer Replacement Parts to be replaced by customer (see CRP definition below), or repair the Product by itself, or exchange the Product for a new one, without any charge to Customer, each Product failing to function properly, under normal use during the Limited Warranty Period (the “Limited Warranty”).
Normal use means 5 working days a week and 8 working hours per day.
The “Limited Warranty Period” starts on the date of Product shipment to the customer directly from ORBITVU or from authorised reseller.
Limited Hardware Warranty Period for all hardware products is 12 month under normal use.
The Warranty can be optionally extended (by purchasing warranty extension option), provided that the total warranty period is not bigger than 3 years, the warranty is continuous and that the extension option is purchased prior the previous Warranty Period has expired.
Customer may be required to provide proof of purchase as a condition of receiving warranty service. This Limited Warranty is extended to the original end-user purchaser only and is not transferable.
Limited Warranty is NOT in effect until ORBITVU, or its authorised reseller receives full due amount of purchase invoice.
Any Product, which ORBITVU has authorized to be replaced or repaired must be returned to ORBITVU or indicated by ORBITVU repair service, at Customer’s expense. Once ORBITVU or repair service receives the Product it will be repaired – and shipped back to the Customer, at ORBITVU’s expense. ORBITVU is obliged to repair or to replace the Product – within 10 working days from the date of it`s reception.
ORBITVU reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to refund the purchase price instead of replacing the Product.
