ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
WildBlue
Communications, Inc. ("WildBlue") manufactures (or has manufactured
by a third party) its hardware products from parts and components that are new
or equivalent to new in accordance with industry-standard practices. WildBlue
warrants that the following hardware products supplied by WildBlue to you will
be free from defects in materials and workmanship: the satellite modem, power
supply and outdoor unit (including the antenna and the transceiver). The
limited warranty term is one year, beginning on the date of installation of the
equipment.
This limited warranty does not cover damage or affected operation of equipment
covered by this Limited Warranty resulting from external causes, including
accident, acts of God, abuse, vandalism, misuse, problems with electrical
power, servicing not authorized by WildBlue, unauthorized disassembly or
opening of components (including the modem or transceiver), usage not in
accordance with product instructions, failure to perform reasonable required
preventive maintenance, and problems caused by use of parts and components not
supplied by WildBlue. This limited warranty does not cover any items that are
in one or more of the following categories: software; external devices (except
as specifically noted); accessories or parts added to a WildBlue system after
the system is installed by Hood Canal Communications; accessories or parts
added to a WildBlue system through WildBlue's system integration department;
and accessories or parts that are not installed at the factory.
During the one-year period beginning on the date of installation, WildBlue will
repair or replace products covered under this limited warranty that are
returned to WildBlue's designated address. To request limited warranty service,
you must contact WildBlue's Customer Care department, toll-free, at (866)
945-3258 within the limited warranty period. If service to the satellite modem
or power supply is required pursuant to the limited warranty, WildBlue will
ship new or reconditioned replacement products to your address in the
continental US, freight prepaid. WildBlue also will enclose pre-paid shipping
materials and you must use this packaging to ship the defective product(s) back
to WildBlue�s designated address. If you do not do so,
or if the returned merchandise is not received in good condition (less the
repair issue for which you originally sought limited warranty service) you will
be responsible for paying the full list price of the equipment that was sent as
a replacement.
If your WildBlue-supplied outdoor unit requires service under this limited
warranty, WildBlue will not charge for any labor costs we incur to repair or
replace it (or any component of it) within the first 90 days after the initial
installation. After this period, WildBlue will cover the cost of the new
equipment, but the on-site labor cost must be paid by you. WildBlue will
provide on-site labor at its standard rates and an estimated charge can be
given prior to the work, based on the type of the replacement. If your
satellite dish needs to be re-pointed after the first 90 days of service,
standard on-site labor charges will apply.
WildBlue owns all parts removed from repaired products. WildBlue uses new and
reconditioned parts made by various manufacturers in performing limited
warranty repairs and building replacement products. If WildBlue repairs or
replaces a product, its limited warranty term is not extended.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. WILDBLUE�S RESPONSIBILITY FOR
MALFUNCTIONS AND DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT AS
SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED
WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE
LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD SET FORTH ABOVE AND
NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER SUCH PERIOD. SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE
ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
WILDBLUE DOES NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT OR ANY LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LIABILITY FOR PRODUCTS NOT BEING
AVAILABLE FOR USE OR FOR LOST DATA OR SOFTWARE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
These provisions apply to WildBlue's one-year limited warranty only. For
provisions of any service plan covering your system, refer to the separate
service contract for that plan.
