LIMITED WARRANTY | Alpha Miner

ALPHA MINER® LIMITED WARRANTY

Alpha Miner Ltd. (the “Company”) provides a non-transferable warranty to the purchaser of Alpha Miner hardware equipment (the “Equipment”) purchased from an authorized Alpha Miner retailer and/or reseller. Alpha Miner warrants that the Equipment will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a specified period commencing on the date of shipment from Company’s distribution center or purchase from a retail outlet, whichever is later. The warranty period will vary by specific Equipment, as identified in your user documentation, on the Equipment package, or as listed in the attached listing of Alpha Miner Warranty Periods.

Except where prohibited by applicable local law, this Equipment warranty is limited to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. To exercise your warranty rights, you must present a sales receipt and provide Alpha Miner Equipment serial number information. This warranty provides you with specific rights, and you may have additional rights that vary under local laws.

In general, this warranty means your Alpha Miner hardware Equipment will operate in accordance with published technical specifications, as specified by its datasheet and/or user guide, and in the operating environment for which it was intended.

This version of the warranty applies to Equipment purchased on or after October 26, 2017. For prior versions of the Alpha Miner limited warranty, please contact customer service.
