Product Limited Warranty Information
LIMITED WARRANTY TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Product Limited Warranty
Subject to the following terms and conditions, Trimble Navigation
Limited (“Trimble”) warrants that for a period of one (1) year from
date of purchase this Trimble product (the “Product”) will
substantially conform to Trimble's publicly available specifications
for the Product and that the hardware and any storage media
components of the Product will be substantially free from defects in
materials and workmanship.
Product Software
Product software, whether built into hardware circuitry as
firmware, provided as a standalone computer software product,
embedded in flash memory, or stored on magnetic or other media,
is licensed solely for use with or as an integral part of the Product
and is not sold. If accompanied by a separate end user license
agreement (“EULA”), use of any such software will be subject to the
terms of such end user license agreement (including any differing
limited warranty terms, exclusions, and limitations), which shall
control over the terms and conditions set forth in this limited
warranty.
Software Fixes
During the limited warranty period you will be entitled to receive
such Fixes to the Product software that Trimble releases and makes
commercially available and for which it does not charge separately,
subject to the procedures for delivery to purchasers of Trimble
products generally. If you have purchased the Product from an
authorized Trimble dealer rather than from Trimble directly,
Trimble may, at its option, forward the software Fix to the Trimble
dealer for final distribution to you. Minor Updates, Major Upgrades,
new products, or substantially new software releases, as identified
by Trimble, are expressly excluded from this update process and
limited warranty. Receipt of software Fixes or other enhancements
shall not serve to extend the limited warranty period.
For purposes of this warranty the following definitions shall apply:
(1) “Fix(es)” means an error correction or other update created to fix
a previous software version that does not substantially conform to
its Trimble specifications; (2) “Minor Update” occurs when
enhancements are made to current features in a software program;
and (3) “Major Upgrade” occurs when significant new features are
added to software, or when a new product containing new features
replaces the further development of a current product line. Trimble
reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, what
constitutes a Fix, Minor Update, or Major Upgrade.
Warranty Remedies
If the Trimble Product fails during the warranty period for reasons
covered by this limited warranty and you notify Trimble of such
failure during the warranty period, Trimble will repair OR replace
the nonconforming Product with new, equivalent to new, or
reconditioned parts or Product, OR refund the Product purchase
price paid by you, at Trimble’s option, upon your return of the
Product in accordance with Trimble's product return procedures
then in effect.

Warranty Exclusions and Disclaimer

the extent that (a) the Product is properly and correctly installed,
configured, interfaced, maintained, stored, and operated in
accordance with Trimble's applicable operator's manual and
specifications, and; (b) the Product is not modified or misused. This
Product limited warranty shall not apply to, and Trimble shall not
be responsible for, defects or performance problems resulting from
(i) the combination or utilization of the Product with hardware or
software products, information, data, systems, interfaces, or devices
not made, supplied, or specified by Trimble; (ii) the operation of the
Product under any specification other than, or in addition to,
Trimble's standard specifications for its products; (iii) the
unauthorized installation, modification, or use of the Product; (iv)
damage caused by: accident, lightning or other electrical discharge,
fresh or salt water immersion or spray (outside of Product
specifications); or exposure to environmental conditions for which
