DupliM Extended Warranty Plan
How Consumer Rights Affect this Plan
FOR CONSUMERS IN JURISDICTIONS WHO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS OR REGULATIONS, THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THE ABOVE MENTIONED PLANS ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. NOTHING IN THIS PLAN SHALL PREJUDICE CONSUMER RIGHTS GRANTED BY APPLICABLE MANDATORY LAWS, INCLUDING CONSUMER'S RIGHT TO THE REMEDIES UNDER STATUTORY WARRANTY LAW AND TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF TOTAL OR PARTIAL NON-PERFORMANCE OR INADEQUATE PERFORMANCE BY DUPLIM OF ANY OF ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS.
1. The Plan.
This service contract governs the hardware services and technical support provided to you by DupliM under the above-mentioned plans (each referred to herein as the "Plan") for the DupliM-branded product and the accessories contained in its original packaging ("Covered Equipment") listed on your proof of coverage document ("Plan Confirmation").
2. When Coverage Begins and Ends
Coverage begins when the Standard Limited Warranty expires and ends on the date specified in your Plan Confirmation ("Coverage Period"). For new products, coverage begins one year after the date of purchase, when the Standard 1-Year Limited Warranty expires. For Factory Certified Refurbished products, coverage begins 90 days after the date of purchase, when the Standard 90-Day Limited Warranty expires. The terms of this Plan, the original sales receipt for your Plan and the Plan Confirmation are each part of your service contract. The price of the Plan is contained in the original sales receipt.
3. Extended Warranty Terms
The Plan covers defects encountered in normal use of the product and does not apply to damage from improper use, abuse, accidents, unauthorized service, or inadequate packaging when shipping the Covered Equipment to DupliM. DupliM provides you the following limited warranty for the Covered Equipment only if the Covered Equipment was originally purchased for use, not resale, from DupliM, a DupliM-authorized dealer or distributor, or any other DupliM-approved reseller for this product. This product is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material for the Coverage Period. If the Covered Equipment fails during normal and proper use within the Coverage Period, DupliM will, at its option, repair or replace the Covered Equipment at no cost (except shipping and insurance). This limited warranty does not include service to repair damage from improper installation, accident, disaster, misuse, abuse or modifications to the Covered Equipment or by any other causes unrelated to defective materials or workmanship.
You should note: THIS PLAN IS VALID ONLY WITHIN THE UNITED STATES AND PUERTO RICO, AND APPLIES ONLY TO PRODUCTS THAT ARE NEW AND UNOPENED ON THE DATE OF PURCHASE OR THAT ARE DUPLIM CERTIFIED FACTORY REFURBISHED. YOUR SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WITH NEW OR REFURBISHED COMPONENTS AS PROVIDED IN THIS PLAN. DUPLIM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF PROFITS OR BUSINESS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN, OR USE OF, THIS COVERED EQUIPMENT (EVEN IF DUPLIM HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES). IN ANY EVENT, THE LIABILITY OF DUPLIM UNDER THIS PLAN FOR DAMAGES TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THIS COVERED EQUIPMENT. FOR CONSUMERS IN JURISDICTIONS WHO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS OR REGULATIONS, THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY THIS PLAN ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. TO THE EXTENT THAT LIABILITY UNDER SUCH LAWS AND REGULATIONS MAY BE LIMITED, DUPLIM'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED, AT ITS SOLE OPTION, TO REPLACE OR REPAIR OF THE COVERED EQUIPMENT OR SUPPLY OF THE SERVICE. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
To obtain warranty service: You must ship your product to DupliM within the Coverage Period and no later than thirty days after discovery of claimed defect, whichever occurs first. In either case, you must contact DupliM Support and provide your Plan Confirmation and original proof of purchase before shipping your product to DupliM and before any Plan service can be performed. Products and parts provided as a result of Plan service may be other than new but will be in good working order and become your property at the time of exchange. At the same time, the exchanged products or parts become the property of DupliM. When shipping the product for service, you agree to insure the product, to prepay shipping charges, and to use the original shipping container or equivalent. Any service outside the scope of this limited Plan shall be at DupliM's or its Authorized Service Provider's rates and terms then in effect. This Plan gives you specific legal rights; you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
