Genesi One Year Limited Warranty

Warranty Coverage

Genesi's warranty obligations are limited to the terms set forth below:

Genesi, as defined below, warrants this Genesi-branded hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser ("Warranty Period"). If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period, at its option, Genesi will either (1) repair the hardware defect at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, or (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product. Genesi may request that you replace defective parts with new or refurbished user-installable parts that Genesi provides in fulfillment of its warranty obligation. A replacement product or part, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by Genesi, assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes Genesi's property. Parts provided by Genesi in fulfillment of its warranty obligation must be used in products for which warranty service is claimed. When a refund is given, the product for which the refund is provided must be returned to Genesi and becomes Genesi's property.

Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers, other than Genesi, may provide their own warranties to the end user purchaser, but Genesi, in so far as permitted by law, provides their products "as is". Software distributed by Genesi with or without the Genesi brand name (including, but not limited to system software) is not covered under this Limited Warranty.
