Limited Warranty and

Connected Equipment Benefit

Ignition L.P. warrants this surge protector product (“Product”) against defects

in materials and workmanship under normal use by the original purchaser for

five (5) years after the date of purchase (the “Warranty Period”). IGNITION L.P.

MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable

to abuse, misuse, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or

maintenance, alteration, accident, Acts of God (such as floods) except

as expressly stated herein; (b) improper or incorrectly performed repairs

by persons who are not an Ignition L.P. Authorized Service Facility; (c)

consumables (such as fuses); (d) ordinary wear and tear or cosmetic damage;

(e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; (f) costs of product removal,

installation, set-up service, adjustment or reinstallation; and (g) claims by

persons other than the original purchaser.
Connected Equipment Benefit: If the Product is properly installed and

connected (as defined below) to any electronic equipment (the “Connected

Equipment”) and if the Connected Equipment is damaged during the Warranty

Period by a transient voltage surge/spike from the AC power line, telephone

line or coaxial line that enters the Connected Equipment through the Product,

then Ignition L.P. will reimburse the original purchaser of the Product the lesser

of: (a) the repair charges for the Connected Equipment; (b) the purchase price

of replacement equipment that is reasonably comparable (as determined

by Ignition L.P. in its sole discretion) to the Connected Equipment; or (c) the

original purchase price of the Connected Equipment; provided, however, that

in no event will the Connected Equipment Benefit exceed a maximum of

seventy-five thousand U.S. dollars ($75,000) (the “Equipment Limit”). The

Connected Equipment Benefit does not cover data loss and is subject to all

of the limitations described in the all capitalized paragraph below. In order to

qualify for the Connected Equipment Benefit, the Product must be returned

to Ignition L.P. and inspection of the Product must show its stated protection

capacity was exhausted by a power surge.
“Properly installed and connected” means: (a) the Product must be plugged

directly into a properly wired and grounded AC outlet; (b) that no extension

cords, adapters, other ground wires or electrical connections may be used

to connect the Product to AC power; (c) that no more than one piece of

Connected Equipment may be connected to any one outlet of the Product;

(d) that the wiring in the building must comply with all applicable codes (NEC,

CSA, etc.); and (e) that all wires (power, telephone and coaxial) leading into

the Connected Equipment must pass through the Product. To claim damage

to Connected Equipment as a result of telephone line transients, the Product

must provide telephone line protection, and your telephone service equipment

must include a properly installed and operating “primary protection” device at

the service entrance. Primary protection devices are normally available from

the telephone company and added during telephone line installation. To claim

damage to Connected Equipment as a result of coaxial line transients, the

Product must provide coaxial line protection.
