SAF Tehnika has built a reputation on providing high-quality products to its customers and it stands behind each product it manufactures. Accordingly, SAF warrants the products it manufactures will be free from defects in material or workmanship and will function in accordance with their official written specifications, so long as they are used and stored in accordance with industry standards and any unique handling instructions provided by SAF (the “Warranty”). While SAF warrants all of its products will function in accordance with their official written specifications, SAF does not warrant all products will function uninterrupted or error free. Occasional errors and interruptions will be expeditiously addressed remotely by SAF’s support staff at techsupport@saftehnika.com . Further, verbal or informal specifications will not be covered by the Warranty. To be enforceable, a product specification must be stated in SAF official literature. No product shall be considered defective or otherwise in breach of the Warranty simply because it needs to be adapted to or otherwise does not comply with the laws and regulations of the customer’s home country or jurisdiction. Warranty Term. The Warranty shall apply to each SAF manufactured product for a minimum of 12 months after it is delivered to the customer. The warranty period for all Integra and Lumina radios may be extended by agreement to 60 months from the date of delivery. Any custom-built products shall likewise be subject to a warranty period that fits their custom nature. An invoice itemizing a product’s warranty period shall be included with the product when it is delivered to the customer, and the warranty dates associated with a given product may further be obtained at any time by e-mailing a written request with the product’s serial number to RMA@saftehnika.com . No verbal extensions or modifications of the Warranty shall be enforceable. Warranty Limitations. The Warranty shall be voidable at SAF’s discretion in any circumstance where an SAF manufactured product has been damaged by a customer’s conduct or an act of God including, but not limited to: a.) damage caused by the customer’s improper use of the product; b.) mechanical damage caused by a physical impact; c.) the accumulation of moisture or water in a product’s housing; d.) damage caused by wind, hail, rain, animal, insect or other environmental events; and e.) electromagnetic damage caused by a power surge, overvoltage, or a strike of lighting. Finally, for the Warranty to be effective, all repairs and modifications to a product, including its software, must be performed by SAF and the Warranty shall be voidable at SAF’s discretion in any circumstance where a customer or its agent opens a product’s housing or otherwise attempts to modify or repair a product, including its software, without SAF’s permission. There are currently no third-parties authorized to repair SAF’s products. Product Repairs & Liability Limitations. In the event an SAF manufactured product does not conform with the Warranty, SAF will fix or replace the nonfunctioning product in accordance with the return and repair policy below. These options shall be a customer’s sole remedy. IN NO EVENT SHALL SAF BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SALE OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS SAF MANUFACTURES, WHETHER OR NOT SAF HAS ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IF SAF BREACHES THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTY, SAF’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE MAXIMUM LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT(S) SOLD TO THE CUSTOMER.

Nonfunctioning product(s) shall be evaluated and treated as follows: DOA. Any product discovered as nonfunctioning within 30 days of its initial delivery to the customer, for any reason other than a customer’s misuse or mishandling, shall be deemed “Dead on Arrival” or “DOA” and replaced free of charge. Standard stock products will be replaced no later than 20 business days after SAF verifies its nonfunctioning status. Custom or special order products may take additional time but shall, in any event, be repaired and returned no later than 40 business days after SAF receives the product and verifies its nonfunctioning status. Warranty Repair & Replacement. All products subject to the Warranty shall, depending on the circumstances, be repaired or replaced free of charge within 20 business days of their arrival at SAF’s facilities. Custom or special order products may take additional time but shall, in any event, be repaired and returned no later than 40 business days after SAF receives the product and verifies its nonfunctioning status. Advance Replacement. In certain instances, when a product is DOA, SAF may agree to provide a customer with a replacement product before the damaged product is returned. In such instances, the customer shall return the damaged product no later than 30 days after receiving an RMA number from SAF. If, after the damaged product is returned, SAF determines the product is not covered by the Warranty, the customer shall be assessed and liable for the cost of repairing the damaged product, a refurbishment fee equal to 20% of the cost of repair, and any product-related shipping costs. Non-warranty Repairs. SAF will repair a product for a period of 10 years after it is delivered to the customer.

The additional warranty described herein may extend but shall in no way reduce any preexisting warranty periods already applicable to the product. Return Costs. If a given product is covered by the Warranty, SAF will pay the shipping costs associated with returning it to the customer. If a product is outside of the Warranty, the customer shall pay all costs associated with transmitting it to and from SAF. An estimated cost of return will be included in any repair invoice sent to the customer, and must be paid before SAF will return a repaired product. Shipping & Abandonment. Any nonfunctioning product remaining in SAF’s possession for three months after a customer receives an invoice for repairs because the customer has failed to pay the invoice in question, shall be considered abandoned. Any repaired product that remains in SAF’s possession for more than three months after it is repaired due to the customer’s failure to pay for the repairs or related shipping costs shall likewise be considered abandoned.

If acquired, an NDR right shall entitle a customer to the have a replacement product available for pick up or shipped within one business day of SAF’s acceptance of the product`s malfunction. Next Day replacement is offered on stock products only, and does not apply to antennas, accessories and custom or special order products.
