One-Year Limited Warranty Agreement
AM Computers, hereafter called the “Company,” whose
office is located at 229 Main St. W., Port Colborne, ON, L3K 3V7, extends the
following one-year limited warranty to the purchaser hereafter referred to as
“Owner,” who has purchased from the Company the said item as per the invoice given
for the product.
The
commencement date of the warranty is the date of the invoice paid in full and
extends for a period of one year.
1.
Coverage on Consumer Products
The
Company expressly warrants to the original Owner of the product that the product
will be free from defects in materials and is not responsible to the Owner in
noncompliance with the standards set forth in the Limited Warranty Guidelines
in effect on the date of this limited warranty, included in the original
product guide which are part of this warranty.
2.
Coverage on Consumer Products
For
purposes of this Limited Warranty Agreement, the term “consumer products” means
all appliances, equipment and other items that are consumer products for the
purposes of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C., sections 2301-2312) and
that are located in the possession of the Owner on the commencement date of the
warranty. The Company expressly warrants that all consumer products will, for a
period of one year after the commencement date of this warranty, be free from
defects resulting from noncompliance with the generally accepted standards in
the state in which the product is located, that assure quality of materials and
workmanship. Any implied warranties for merchantability, workmanship, or
fitness for intended use on any such consumer products shall terminate on the
same date as the express warranty stated above. Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not
apply to you. The Company hereby assigns to the Owner all rights under
manufacturers’ warranties covering consumer products. Defects in items covered
by manufacturers’ warranties are excluded from coverage of this limited
warranty, and the Owner should follow the procedures in the manufacturers’
warranties if defects appear in those items. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary from state to state.
3.
Company’s Obligations
If
a covered defect occurs during the one-year warranty period, the Company agrees
to repair, replace, or pay the Owner the reasonable cost of repairing or
replacing the defective item. The Company’s total liability under this warranty
is limited to the purchase price of the product stated above. The choice among
repair, replacement, or payment is the Company’s. Any steps taken by the
Company to correct defects shall not act to extend the term of this warranty.
All repairs by the Company shall be at no charge to the Owner and shall be
performed within a reasonable length of time, defined as 30 days from the date
on any warranty work order issued by the Company unless other scheduling is
arranged with the Owner.
4.
Owner’s Obligation
Owner
must provide normal maintenance and proper care of the product according to
this warranty, the warranties of manufacturers of consumer products, and
generally accepted standards of the state in which the product is located. The
Company must be notified in writing, by the Owner, of the existence of any
defect before the Company is responsible for the correction of that defect.
Written notice of a defect must be received by the Company prior to the
expiration of the warranty on that defect and no action at law or in equity may
be brought by the Owner against the Company for failure to remedy or repair any
defect about which the Company has not received timely notice in writing. The
Owner must provide the Company with access to the product during normal
business hours, Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., to inspect
the defect reported and, if necessary, to take corrective action.
5.
Insurance
In
the event the Company repairs or replaces or pays the cost of repairing or
replacing any defect covered by this warranty for which the Owner is covered by
insurance or a warranty provided by another party, Owner must, upon request of
the Company, assign the proceeds of such insurance or other warranty to the
Company to the extent of the cost to the Company of such repair or replacement.
6.
Consequential or Incidental Damages
Consequential
or incidental damages are excluded from this warranty. Some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

following additional items are excluded from limited warranty:
- Defects in any item that was not part of the original product as sold by the Company.

defect caused by or worsened by negligence, improper maintenance, lack of

assigned to Owner under paragraph 2 of this Limited Warranty.

may, upon written notice to the other party, submit such dispute to
arbitration. The arbitrator shall proceed under the construction industry rules
of the American Arbitration Association. The award of the arbitrator shall be
final, conclusive, and binding upon the parties. The expenses of the
arbitrators shall be shared equally, but each party shall bear its own fees and
costs.
