THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE (OR JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION). ORBIT MICRO'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR MALFUNCTIONS AND DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY STATEMENT. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN TIME TO THE TERM OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD REFLECTED ON YOUR PACKING SLIP OR INVOICE. NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LIABILITY FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES, FOR PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE, OR FOR LOST DATA OR LOST SOFTWARE. OUR LIABILITY WILL BE NO MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE PRODUCT THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF A CLAIM. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT FOR WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

This limited warranty lasts for the time period indicated on your packing slip or invoice, except for the following Orbit Micro branded hardware:

• The limited warranty for monitors purchased independent of a system lasts for the time period indicated on your packing slip. Monitors purchased with a system are covered by the system limited warranty.
• Other add-on hardware carries the longer of either a 1-year limited warranty for new parts and a 90-day limited warranty for reconditioned parts or, for both new and reconditioned parts, the remainder of the warranty for the Orbit Micro computer on which such parts are installed.

The limited warranty on all Orbit Micro branded products begins on the date of the packing slip or invoice. The warranty period is not extended if we repair or replace a warranted product or any parts. Orbit Micro may change the availability of limited warranties, at its discretion, but any changes will not be retroactive.

While the warranty is still in effect we will repair any Orbit Micro branded hardware products returned to us that prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not able to repair the product, we will replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.

We will replace any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you request a replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the original part to us within 30 days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not receive the original part within 30 days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current standard price for that part.

When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging, pre-pay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect.

If we determine that the problem is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you and inform you of service alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.

We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and in building replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts or systems that have been returned to Orbit Micro, some of which were never used by a customer. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement parts and systems are covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you bought. Orbit Micro owns all parts removed from repaired products.

If a part is no longer available, Orbit Micro reserves the right to offer an alternative part of equal or better specification. Orbit Micro guarantees that the Orbit Micro branded hardware product will be working in equal or better performance with the alternative part.

• It is very important that when 4-hour on-site is sold, that spare parts also be sold and kept on-site. If the needed spare part is not on-site – the SLA becomes NBD pending parts arrival.

What to Expect From Our On-Site Technicians and their Capabilities:

• It is very important to understand that our on-site technicians are a contracted network of locally based companies and technicians all over America (and the world). They are our smart pair of hands and eyes, and are computer break/fix technicians.

• The Orbit Micro Coverage and Pricing Model is able to achieve very aggressive warranty pricing by having “break/fix” technicians locally based all over the world, and the diagnosis expertise here in Atlanta at our help desk.

• The On-site technicians are sourced by Source Support and interviewed, reference checked, and basically “hand-picked” for each on-site visit and a complete “Pre-game” call and program is performed before each and every on-site to insure our on-site partner is fully prepared to perform his duties!

• The Customer should not expect that the on-site technician is going to be a software or operating system expert.
o Our expertise resides in the help desk. So if a customer says “the on-site tech did not know Linux” – your answer should be:
o “Yes, that’s true, our help desk is where our Linux expertise resides, and to swap out the parts, etc. he does not need to know Linux – if he has questions and or problems, he is on the phone to the help desk techs in Atlanta who will walk him through any problems or trouble shooting.”

Warranty Coverage and Limitations

The Orbit Micro Services Warranty Service Plan purchased by you determines the services provided and the period of warranty coverage.

The Warranty Service Plan provides for the replacement of Server/Workstation components that fail due to manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Excluded from warranty coverage are acts of nature, such as electrical storms, floods, fire, etc., acts of war and terrorism, criminal acts, and customer damage and negligence.

Warranty may be void if:

• The parts or configuration is different than what has been ordered.
• It is determined that the hardware has been upgraded or tampered without approval.
• The system location is inconsistent with information submitted (i.e. if it has been moved) without Orbit Micro being notified.

Upon receipt of a service request from you, Orbit MicroService’s help desk will contact you promptly to begin diagnosis and arrange a time for the delivery of service. After diagnosis has been performed, the help desk will then coordinate the dispatch of service parts and field engineers to your site within the terms of your Warranty Service Plan.

Under the terms of the service plan, you are responsible for providing our field service engineers with access to your Server/Workstation in a safe environment.

If spare parts have been shipped to you, shipping labels will have been included for the return of unused and defective parts after service is complete. You agree to properly package parts for return and deliver the package(s) to the selected courier for return to the appropriate address on the return shipping label. Please contact Orbit Micro Services at 1-469-916-8318 immediately for assistance with parts return issues.

You are responsible for the replacement price of parts that are not returned, and for those damaged in transit due to improper packaging. If parts return shipments are not received within 10 business days of the completion of the repair to your Server/Workstation, you will be invoiced for the parts replacement price and an administration fee of 10% of the parts replacement price and no less than $25. The parts delivered to your site at the initiation of service become your property after the returned parts are received, unencumbered by any lien, at Orbit Micro.

After receciveing delivery of a computer system with and Onsite Warranty package, the customer must register their warranty ASAP. Failure to do so might delay onsite warranty support. If the location of the system has been changed, the customer must re-register the warranty under the new location.

After a warranty has been registered there is a 21-day DOA period in which onsite support for the system is not available. The reason for this is because any hardware failures that may occur are most likely due to damages incurred during transportation or a defective component sent from the manufacturer.

For the initial shipment of the system to the customer, we provide coverage for the 21-day DOA period. So if there are any hardware failures during this time we will still honor the full service level of your contract. However any subsequent transportation of the system to other locations will not be covered for the first 21-days after the customer has registered the new location of the system.

If you would like your system to be covered during this 21-day period, there is a $75 additional fee.
