This warranty applies to all standard catalog product configurations, with the exception of units with a rated operating temperature exceeding 85° C, for three (3) years following the date of shipment. For units with a rated operating temperature exceeding 85° C, the warranty period shall be two (2) years following the date of shipment. During that period, EPC will, at its sole option, repair or replace, at no cost to the customer, products that prove to be defective, provided the defect or failure is not due to misuse or abuse of the product. Any unauthorized attempt to repair the product(s) by the customer, or any unauthorized modifications by the customer, can, at EPC’s sole option, cause this warranty to become null and void. In addition, this warranty does not apply to products that have been subjected to abuse or operated in environments that exceed their design specifications. The customer is responsible for shipment of the defective product to the EPC factory.
