  • I-CON must have manufactured the Product.
  • Subject to the other terms and conditions in this instrument, the I-CON Limited Warranty covers only defects in (1) materials used in the original manufacturing of a Product or (2) the original workmanship to manufacture a Product.
  • Either (1) Customer shall have installed the Product with or into its end-use location in strict accordance with the Product's installation and other documentation ("Documentation") currently accessible at https://support.i-con.com or (2) I-CON or an I-CON certified installer shall have installed the Product with or into its end-use location.
  • The Product shall have been used at all times for its intended and end-use purpose according to its Documentation.
  • The Product shall have been used at all times in compliance with its Documentation (including, without limitation, safety data sheets, instructions, and warnings) and under normal use conditions.
  • The Product shall have been used at all times in accordance with applicable laws including, without limitation, environmental laws and building codes.
  • The Product shall not have been altered, changed, fixed, modified, or repaired in any way, and no attempt to have altered, changed, fixed, modified, or repaired the Product in any way shall have occurred.
  • None of the Product's original component parts shall have been replaced or altered, changed, fixed, modified, or repaired in any way, and no attempt to have altered, changed, fixed, modified, or repaired any original component part of a Product in any way shall have occurred.
  • Neither the Product nor any original Product component part shall have been cannibalized, mishandled, vandalized, misused, damaged, or destroyed or subjected to any accident or improper use.

  • The Customer and all persons performing any maintenance on the Product shall have thoroughly read and understood all Documentation and specifications for the Product (including, without limitation, the Product's operating manual).
  • The Customer shall comply fully and completely with the requirements set forth in this instrument after the heading entitled "PROCEDURE FOR ASSERTING AN I-CON LIMITED WARRANTY CLAIM"

Procedure for Asserting an I-CON Limited Warranty Claim

  • To establish a valid and enforceable I-CON Limited Warranty claim ("Warranty Claim"), the Customer shall first contact a designated I-CON warranty representative in one of the following ways: Such first contact must occur on or before (1) the 30th day after the Customer shall know or should have known of the Warranty Claim's existence and (2) the final day of the Applicable Warranty Period.
  • The Customer shall provide a detailed explanation of the reason(s) for the Warranty Claim to the I-CON warranty representative, including specifically and with particularity identifying the asserted defect giving rise to the Warranty Claim.
  • The I-CON warranty representative will make an initial determination whether the Warranty Claim is presumptively valid and the Product presumptively requires return service. If the I-CON warranty representative determines that the Warranty Claim is not presumptively valid and the Product does not presumptively require return service, the Warranty Claim will be deemed invalid and denied without further action on I-CON's part, and I-CON will have no further obligations with respect to the invalid and denied Warranty Claim or the Product subject to the invalid and denied Warranty Claim.
  • If the I-CON warranty representative makes an initial determination that the Warranty Claim is presumptively valid and the Product presumptively requires return service, the I-CON warranty representative will provide the Customer a return material authorization number ("RMA Number") and instructions regarding how to return the Product to I-CON. The RMA Number must match the returned Product. Each Product return must have a validly issued RMA Number, and no Product return will be valid without a validly issued RMA Number. If the Customer returns a Product without a validly issued RMA Number, I-CON will reject the returned Product and return it to the Customer at the Customer's risk and expense. The Customer shall clearly and conspicuously display the RMA number on the exterior of each return package. The RMA Number will be valid for 90 days after I-CON shall issue it, including the date of issuance (I-CON's records will be determinative and binding with respect to the issuance date), and will expire and no longer be valid upon the conclusion of the 90th day. Under no circumstances and for no reason will such 90 day period be suspended or tolled.
  • All authorized troubleshooting efforts accessible at https://support.i-con.com shall have been performed prior to the assertion of a Warranty Claim.
  • All required, necessary, or appropriate maintenance of the Product in accordance with the Product's Documentation shall have been performed prior to making a Warranty Claim and throughout the use of the Product.
  • At the Customer's sole cost, expense, and risk, the Customer shall properly pack the returned Product in accordance with I-CON's instructions to ensure that no damage or destruction occurs or, if I-CON provides no instructions, in a commercially reasonable and insured manner.
  • The Customer shall clearly and conspicuously include with the Product's return shipment the original invoice number and, as applicable, serial or lot code, for the Product.
  • Upon I-CON's receipt of a validly returned Product, I-CON will have a commercially reasonable amount of time to determine whether (1) the returned Product is defective and (2) I-CON will repair or replace the returned Product. Service options, replacement parts availability, and response times may vary according to conditions and manufacturing part availability.
  • Notwithstanding an I-CON warranty representative's initial determination that a Warranty Claim is presumptively valid and the Product presumptively requires return service, if I-CON subsequently determines that the I-CON Limited Warranty does not cover a returned Product and the Warranty Claim was invalid, then (1) I-CON will inform the Customer of such determination, (2) the Warranty Claim will be deemed invalid and denied without further action on I-CON's part, (3) I-CON will have no further obligations with respect to the invalid and denied Warranty Claim or the Product subject to the invalid and denied Warranty Claim, and (4) the Customer shall pay all return shipping costs and a minimum service charge that I-CON shall determine in its sole discretion.

I-CON Limited Warranty Obligations

If I-CON receives a valid Warranty Claim, I-CON's sole obligation, and Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, will be for I-CON, in its sole discretion, to either:

  • Repair the returned Product at no charge, using new replacement parts;
  • Replace the returned Product with a new version of the same Product; or
  • Replace the returned Product with another new Product that has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is functionally equivalent to the returned Product.

Any Product that I-CON shall repair or replace will continue to be subject to the I-CON Limited Warranty for an amount of time equal to the remainder of the original Applicable Warranty Period plus the number of days beginning on the date that I-CON actually receives the Warranty Claim and the date that I-CON delivers the repaired or replaced Product to the Customer.

The I-CON Limited Warranty incorporates by reference I-CON's Terms and Conditions of Sale (currently accessible at https://www.i-con.com/terms-and-conditions) as may be in effect on the Product's Original Purchase Date for its intended and end-use purpose If any provision of the I-CON Limited Warranty conflicts or is inconsistent with I-CON's Terms and Conditions of Sale, the provisions of the I-CON Limited Warranty will govern and prevail over the conflicting or inconsistent provision in the I-CON Terms and Conditions of Sale.

I-CON may amend the I-CON Limited Warranty at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion without notice; provided, that the version of the I-CON Limited Warranty in effect on a Product's Original Purchase Date will continue to govern that sale regardless of I-CON 's subsequent amendment of the I-CON Limited Warranty.
