LIMITED WARRANTY 

Minleon warrants to Purchaser that each Product will be free from any defect in materials and workmanship which cause the Product to fail to operate in accordance with Minleon’s published specifications for such Product as in effect on the date of shipment. The foregoing warranty is valid for the following number of years from the date of Purchaser’s purchase from Minleon (the ship date),

2. RGB Lighting Products and Accessory’s – 

a. Standard Warranty – one (1) year (365 days)

3. All other Minleon Lighting Products and Accessory’s – one (1) year, seasonal use only (90 days) 

* must be purchased separately, please reference price list for details 

If a Product fails to operate in accordance with this warranty, Minleon will, at its option, repair or replace the Product or the defective part thereof, or credit Purchaser for the purchase price thereof (less a provision for normal wear-and-tear), subject to the limited warranty terms and conditions set forth herein. For purposes of clarity, “repair or replace the Product or the defective part thereof” does not include any removal or reinstallation costs or expenses, including without limitation labor costs or expenses. If Minleon chooses to replace the Product and is not able to do so because it has been discontinued or is not available, Minleon may replace it with a comparable product. 

Minleon shall have no liability under this warranty unless Minleon is notified in writing promptly upon Purchaser’s discovery of the defect and the defective items are returned to Minleon, freight prepaid, and received by Minleon not later than ten (10) days after expiration of the warranty period. This warranty shall not apply to any defect or failure to perform resulting from misapplication, improper installation, improper wiring designs, improper operation, lack of 3 

product knowledge, abuse or contamination, whether internal or external and only applies when the Product has been properly wired and installed and operated within the electrical values, operating ranges and environmental conditions provided in the specifications or installation instructions for such Product. This warranty does not apply to damage or failure to perform arising as a result of any Acts of God or from any abuse, misuse, stress, or abnormal strain or use, or use in violation of any applicable standard, code or instructions for use including those contained in the latest National Electrical Code, the Standards for Safety of Underwriters Laboratory, Inc., the Standards for the American National Standards Institute or, in Canada, the Canadian Standards Association. Minleon shall have no liability of any kind for failure of any equipment or other items in which the Product are incorporated. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by Minleon, this warranty shall not apply to Product manufactured by Minleon to Purchaser’s designs or specifications, and no warranty is given as to such non-standard Product. This warranty shall become void in the event any repairs or alterations not duly authorized by Minleon in writing are made to the Product by any person. 

In the event Purchaser requests Minleon to research, review or otherwise determine whether related light failures are due to Minleon product deficiencies or something other, Minleon will make that determination, and in the case where Minleon product is deficient, Minleon will correct as allowed for within this document. In all other cases Minleon will charge the Purchaser for reasonable costs incurred during the request for research, review and determination. Purchaser agrees to pay charges, including but not limited to; all travel-related expenses, cost of time of all technical and non-technical personnel required to research, review and make determinations, at fair market value rates. 

As a no-charge service to the Purchaser, Minleon (and/or it’s designee) may offer assistance and advice to Purchaser in the design (wiring, preferred components and the like) of a light configuration. In the event the Purchaser accepts this offer, Purchaser agrees and understands the responsibility for a proper light configuration design remains with the Purchaser and said responsibility is not conveyed to the Minleon as a result of the Minleon offering and Purchaser accepting this no-charge service. In the event the Purchaser desires conveyance of the light configuration design responsibility to a third party, Minleon will provide Purchaser with a list of known light designers and other related professionals for which Purchaser can solicit for said services. 

As Minleon provides training sessions and documentation on preferred methods and techniques in designing light and sound configurations with Minleon product, and Purchaser participates in the sessions and/or reviews the documentation offered, Purchaser understands these sessions and documentation are general and generic in nature and may not be applicable to a specific lighting Project of the Purchaser; and therefore, Purchaser must obtain the specific knowledge needed to assure for a successful light design for each specific Project. 

Warranty extends only to initial Purchaser and is not transferable.
