Ashtech Products - Limited Warranty (North, Central and South Amer-
ica)

Ashtech warrants their GPS receivers and hardware accessories to be
free of defects in material and workmanship and will conform to our
published specifications for the product for a period of one year from
the date of original purchase. THIS WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO
THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THIS PRODUCT.

In the event of a defect, Ashtech will, at its option, repair or replace the
hardware product with no charge to the purchaser for parts or labor. The
repaired or replaced product will be warranted for 90 days from the
date of return shipment, or for the balance of the original warranty,
whichever is longer. Ashtech warrants that software products or soft-
ware included in hardware products will be free from defects in the me-
dia for a period of 30 days from the date of shipment and will
substantially conform to the then-current user documentation provided
with the software (including updates thereto). Ashtech's sole obligation
shall be the correction or replacement of the media or the software so
that it will substantially conform to the then- current user documenta-
tion. Ashtech does not warrant the software will meet purchaser's re-
quirements or that its operation will be uninterrupted, error-free or
virus-free. Purchaser assumes the entire risk of using the software.

PURCHASER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS WRITTEN WAR-
RANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, AT ASHTECH'S OPTION, OF ANY DEFEC-
TIVE PART OF THE RECEIVER OR ACCESSORIES WHICH ARE COV-
ERED BY THIS WARRANTY. REPAIRS UNDER THIS WARRANTY
SHALL ONLY BE MADE AT AN AUTHORIZED ASHTECH SERVICE
CENTER. ANY REPAIRS BY A SERVICE CENTER NOT AUTHORIZED
BY ASHTECH WILL VOID THIS WARRANTY.

To obtain warranty service the purchaser must obtain a Return Materi-
als Authorization (RMA) number prior to shipping by calling 1-800-
229-2400 (North America) or 1-408-572-1134 (International) and
leaving a voice mail at option 3, or by submitting a repair request on-
line at: http://ashtech.com (fill out the RMA request from under the
Support tab). The purchaser must return the product postpaid with a
copy of the original sales receipt to the address provided by Ashtech
with the RMA number. Purchaser’s return address and the RMA number
must be clearly printed on the outside of the package.

Ashtech reserves the right to refuse to provide service free-of-charge if
the sales receipt is not provided or if the information contained in it is
incomplete or illegible or if the serial number is altered or removed.
Ashtech will not be responsible for any losses or damage to the product
incurred while the product is in transit or is being shipped for repair.
Insurance is recommended. Ashtech suggests using a trackable ship-
ping method such as UPS or FedEx when returning a product for ser-
vice.

EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, ALL OTHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF FIT-
NESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED AND IF APPLICA-
BLE, IMPLIED WARRANTIES UNDER ARTICLE 35 OF THE UNITED
NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
SALE OF GOODS. Some national, state, or local laws do not allow lim-
itations on implied warranty or how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above limitation may not apply to you.

The following are excluded from the warranty coverage: (1) periodic
maintenance and repair or replacement of parts due to normal wear and
tear; (2) batteries and finishes; (3) installations or defects resulting
from installation; (4) any damage caused by (i) shipping, misuse,
abuse, negligence, tampering, or improper use; (ii) disasters such as
fire, flood, wind, and lightning; (iii) unauthorized attachments or mod-
ification; (5) service performed or attempted by anyone other than an
authorized Ashtechs Service Center; (6) any product, components or
parts not manufactured by Ashtech; (7) that the receiver will be free
from any claim for infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright or
other proprietary right, including trade secrets; and (8) any damage due
to accident, resulting from inaccurate satellite transmissions. Inaccu-
rate transmissions can occur due to changes in the position, health or
geometry of a satellite or modifications to the receiver that may be re-
quired due to any change in the GPS. (Note: Ashtech GPS receivers use
GPS or GPS+GLONASS to obtain position, velocity and time informa-
tion. GPS is operated by the U.S. Government and GLONASS is the
Global Navigation Satellite System of the Russian Federation, which
are solely responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of their sys-
tems. Certain conditions can cause inaccuracies which could require
modifications to the receiver. Examples of such conditions include but
are not limited to changes in the GPS or GLONASS transmission.)
Opening, dismantling or repairing of this product by anyone other than
an authorized Ashtech Service Center will void this warranty.

PERSON FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY OR ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHER FAULT OFASHTECH OR NEGLIGENT USAGE OF THE PROD-
UCT. IN NO EVENT WILL ASHTECH BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH
DAMAGES, EVEN IF ASHTECH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSI-
BILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

between Ashtech and the purchaser with respect to the quality of per-
formance of the goods and any and all warranties and representations.

product. This limited warranty is governed by the laws of the State of
California, without reference to its conflict of law provisions or the U.N.

benefit Ashtech, its successors and assigns.

tained in this warranty, including the exclusion or limitation of inciden-
