Warranty Coverage

Rackmount Distribution's warranty obligations are limited to the terms set forth below:
Rackmount Distribution, as defined below, warrants this ColoMachine®, and ColoBlade 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, Rackmount Distribution 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. Rackmount Distribution may request that you replace defective parts with new or refurbished user-installable parts that Rackmount Distribution 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 Rackmount Distribution, assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or thirty (30) 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 Rackmount Distribution's property. Parts provided by Rackmount Distribution 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 Rackmount Distribution and becomes Rackmount distribution's property.

Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers, other than Rackmount Distribution, may provide their own warranties to the end user purchaser, but Rackmount Distribution, in so far as permitted by law, provides their products "as is". Software distributed by Rackmount Distribution with or without the ColoMachine® or ColoBlade brand name (including, but not limited to system software) is not covered under this Limited Warranty. Refer to the licensing agreement accompanying the software for details of your rights with respect to its use.
