Limited Warranty Period:

Products and Software: 12 months from the date of shipment
Receivers
IMUs (return to manufacturer)
Antennas

Accessories: 90 days from the date of shipment
Cables
Other accessories

NovAtel warrants that, during the applicable warranty periods set forth above (“Warranty Period”), it shall repair or replace, at its sole option and at its facility, any Product, Accessory or Software which does not materially conform to NovAtel’s specifications or that is significantly defective in materials or workmanship (“Defective Product”), free of charge. If Software is determined to be a Defective Product during the Warranty Period, NovAtel shall provide the Purchaser, at NovAtel’s sole discretion and expense, with an unqualified software patch that resolves the issue or a fix that is included in the next general software release for the affected Software. This limited warranty does not cover the cost of any software re-verification, certification, or implementation. The unqualified software patch will be provided AS IS under special software license terms provided with the software patch.

To obtain performance of this limited warranty, Purchaser may initiate the return process at https://www.novatel.com/support/repair or the return instructions below, and Purchaser must return the Product to NovAtel shipping prepaid. Note that there are no user serviceable parts in the GNSS receiver and no maintenance is required. When the status code indicates that a unit is faulty, replace with another unit and return the faulty unit to NovAtel.

This limited warranty does not apply where the Product, Accessory or Software has been: (a) subjected to abuse, misuse, neglect, negligence, accident, damage during shipping, improper testing, improper installation, improper storage, improper handling, improper maintenance, abnormal physical stress, abnormal environmental conditions, abnormal use, any other condition outside of NovAtel’s specifications, or failure to follow NovAtel’s instructions; (b) modified, reconstructed, repaired or altered by persons other than NovAtel or as authorized by NovAtel; (c) used with any third-party product, hardware or product that has not been previously approved in writing by NovAtel; or (d) returned with the original identification markings removed or altered. Further, any Product, Accessory or Software designated by NovAtel as a beta site test sample, experimental, developmental, research, prototype, preproduction, sample, incomplete, or out of specification product are provided AS IS and specifically excluded from this limited warranty. Further excluded from this limited warranty are Products, Accessories and Software manufactured or created by a third party (“Third Party Materials”). NovAtel will assign, to the extent permissible, to Purchaser any warranty coverage for Third Party Materials, but NovAtel does not independently warrant any such Third Party Materials and the third party’s warranty term may not coincide with the Warranty Period. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DOES NOVATEL WARRANT THAT ANY SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER ARISING BY LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE OF TRADE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITTNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; AND, IT SETS FORTH NOVATEL’S SOLE OBLIGATION AND PURCHASER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL NOVATEL BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE. NO ATTEMPT TO MODIFY OR AMEND THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AGREED TO IN WRITING BY AN OFFICER OF NOVATEL.
