Limited Warranty Terms and Conditions
Product Limited Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Trimble
Navigation Limited (“Trimble”) warrants that for a period of (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 and not sold. If accompanied by a separate end user
license agreement, 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 Updates
During the limited warranty period you will be entitled to receive
such Fix Updates and Minor Updates 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 distributor rather than from
Trimble directly, Trimble may, at its option, forward the software Fix
Update or Minor Update to the Trimble distributor for final
distribution to you. 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 updates shall not serve to extend the limited warranty
period.
For purposes of this warranty the following definitions shall apply:
(1) “Fix Update” means an error correction or other update created
to fix a previous software version that does not substantially
conform to its published 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 significant new feature and 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 at its option will repair
OR replace the nonconforming Product, OR refund the purchase
price paid by you for the Product, upon your return of the Product
to Trimble in accordance with Trimble's standard return material
