Warranty Terms Limited Warranty This warranty specifies Tyco Security Products sole obligation for American Dynamics, Software House and Kantech branded products and EMEA Business Partners exclusive remedy with respect to the Products. Under the Warranty Replacement Scheme operated in EMEA, Tyco Security Products will repair or provide a comparable replacement for any merchandise proved defective in material or workmanship for the period after the date of shipment defined in our published EMEA Price List except as noted below: Continuous operation of any motors, belts, gear heads or gears due to auto-pan or similar modes of operation on dome cameras and similar products is outside the scope of this warranty and is specifically excluded. Tyco Security Products shall provide warranty on all replacement parts and repairs (original fault) for the remaining portion of the original warranty period. This warranty shall not apply to appearance or accessory items (except furnished external power supplies) including but not limited to antennas, knobs, cabinets, dust covers, connecting cables or user replaceable items such as lamps and fuses. This warranty becomes void in the event the serial numbers are altered, defaced or removed. This warranty shall not in any event extend or apply to repairs or replacements necessitated by any cause beyond the control of Tyco Security Products including but not limited to improper installation, incorrect power supplies, voltage fluctuations, lightning or induced electrical surges, misuse, neglect, lack of proper maintenance, unauthorised interference, attempted repairs whether or not authorised, modifications to either hardware or software, damage resulting from the use of non-approved parts or supplies not purchased from Tyco Security Products, wear and tear, accident, civil unrest, riot, Force Majeure or Acts of God. In such cases Tyco Security Products reserves the right to make a surcharge for the repair or decline to attempt to repair any product affected. Tyco Security Products shall in no event be liable for any incidental, consequential or other direct or indirect loss or damages whether foreseeable or unforeseeable suffered by the Business Partner or any of its customers or their employees or agents or any other person arising out of or in connection with this agreement or with the sale, use, design or performance of any product. Tyco Security Products takes no responsibility whatsoever for any Business Partner or customer data or images contained within any unit returned for repair/replacement. All claims for parts allegedly defective under this warranty shall be submitted together with the model and serial number of the products from which the part was taken, the date of sale and such further information as we may require from time to time. Tyco Security Products shall have no liability in respect of any claim. The Business Partner shall not deduct from any payment due to Tyco Security Products any amount or credits in respect of any returned material or parts, warranty claims, invoicing discrepancies or otherwise without our prior written approval. In the event that the Business Partner considers it advisable to make adjustments with their respective customer on its own responsibility, under this warranty or otherwise, adjustments will not be binding upon Tyco Security Products unless and until approved in writing by Tyco Security Products. Tyco Security Products makes no warranty of any kind (except of title) either expressed or implied including without limitation any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose as to any products or information furnished to the Business Partner in connection with this agreement except as expressly provided for in this limited warranty. The Limited Warranty does not in any way affect statutory rights. Page 3 of 23

4 2. Product Warranty and Repair Arrangements Summary Product failures may be categorised as: In-Warranty Failure This applies to qualifying products which are deemed to have failed within their specified Warranty period. Out of Box Failure Special provisions for Out of Box failure apply to qualifying products which fail on initial power up or during commissioning, normally within 30 days of shipment from Tyco. Out of Warranty Repairs Tyco Security Products operates a repairs service and will wherever possible offer a fixed price for the repair of products which are no longer covered by warranty. Warranty periods vary for individual items and are published in the EMEA Business Partner Price List. The warranty period for products not manufactured by Tyco Security Products shall be in accordance with the warranty terms of the respective manufacturer. Faulty items must be returned to Tyco Security Products using the correct Returns Procedure as detailed in Section 3 of this document. Where a replacement item has been supplied by Tyco under this process, credit will only be issued for the returned item once it is confirmed as a genuine warranty/out of Box failure. Where no replacement item has been supplied, no credit will be issued and the item will be repaired and returned to the business partner as detailed later in this document. Full details of Tyco Security Products Warranty and Repair Arrangements are contained in the following pages. Page 4 of 23

5 Warranty Replacement Scheme for In-Warranty Failures Any qualifying product failing within its specified warranty period will be classed as an In- Warranty failure. In the event that a product is deemed to have fallen outside the specified warranty period defined by its date of manufacture and where there is credible and documented evidence to demonstrate the end user has had ownership for a lesser period Tyco Security Products may at their discretion treat the product as being in warranty. Any previous warranty terms which can be proven to still be applicable will be honoured. Under the Warranty Replacement Scheme, Business Partners may purchase a Warranty Replacement for a listed product which has failed within the warranty period. Warranty Replacement items are ordered using standard product part number(s) under the Warranty Replacement Scheme at the Business Partner s usual price and are subject to all normal delivery terms. All normal Terms and Conditions including cancellation terms apply to orders placed for Warranty Replacement items. Faulty items must be returned to Tyco Security Products using the returns process detailed in Section 3 of this document. Business Partners can only receive a credit for a failed product once it has been returned and is confirmed by Tyco Security Products as being a true In-Warranty failure. Product Returns When making a Return, it is important for a Business Partner to detail within RMA request if they have purchased a Warranty Replacement item. If RMA request does not show that a Warranty Replacement part was purchased, Tyco will not issue a credit and will repair and return the failed unit to the Business Partner. No credit will be issued once a repaired unit has been returned to a Business Partner. In the event that a Warranty Replacement has been ordered: Where the returned product is found to be in warranty and is deemed by Tyco Security Products or their approved European Repair Centre (ERC) to be a genuine warranty failure a full credit will be issued for the value of the Warranty Replacement item. Where the returned product is found to be in warranty but is deemed by Tyco Security Products or their approved ERC not to be faulty (no fault found) a partial credit will be issued. The value of the partial credit will be calculated as the value of the Warranty Replacement item less any inspection and shipping fees incurred by Tyco Security Products. Where the returned product is deemed by Tyco Security Products or their approved ERC to be warranty expired or warranty void no credit will be issued and Tyco Security Products reserves the right to levy reasonable charges to cover the inspection and shipping of the goods to and from their premises. If repair is possible, Tyco Security Products will offer a quotation for repair although no repairs will be affected until a formal Purchase Order has been received by Tyco in accordance with the guidelines laid out in the next sections. If Page 5 of 23

6 repair is not possible, or if repair is not required by the business partner, Tyco Security Products will either return the failed unit un-repaired, or dispose of the failed unit at the business partner s discretion. Note that charges for disposal may apply. Special order items are specifically excluded from the Warranty Replacement Scheme. Warranty of Replacement Item A Warranty Replacement product will be covered by the remaining balance of the warranty period defined in the published EMEA Business Partner Price List. Outline Returns Process for In-Warranty Failures Full details of the returns process can be found in Section 3 of this document. Page 6 of 23

7 Out of Box Failures Special provisions which allow a product to be classed as an Out of Box failure apply to any qualifying product which fails in warranty on initial power up or during commissioning. This normally applies to failures which occur within 30 days of shipment from a Tyco Security Products distribution centre. Where the product is part of a major project and a failure is discovered during final commissioning and it is more than 30 days after shipment from Tyco Security Products, Tyco Security Products may at their sole discretion and subject to supporting evidence extend the period for special provisions on a case by case basis. Under the special provisions, Business Partners may follow their normal process to order a new Advance Replacement item from Tyco Security Products. Advance Replacement items are ordered at the Business Partner s usual price and are subject to all normal delivery times. All normal Terms and Conditions including cancellation terms apply to orders placed for Advance Replacement items. Faulty items must be returned to Tyco Security Products using the returns process detailed in Section 3 of this document. Business Partners can only receive a credit for a failed product once it has been returned and is confirmed by Tyco Security Products as being a true Out of Box failure. Product Returns When making a Return, it is important for a Business Partner to detail within RMA request if they have purchased an Advance Replacement item. If RMA request does not show that an Advance Replacement part was purchased, Tyco will not issue a credit and will repair and return the failed unit to the Business Partner. No credit will be issued once a repaired unit has been returned to a Business Partner. Business Partners are at liberty to await Tyco Security Products confirmation of Out of Box failure prior to placing further orders. In the event that an Advance Replacement is ordered: Where the returned product is found to be in warranty and is deemed by Tyco Security Products or their approved European Repair Centre (ERC) to be a genuine out of box failure a full credit will be issued for the value of the Advance Replacement item. Where the returned product is found to be in warranty but is deemed by Tyco Security Products or their approved ERC not to be faulty (no fault found) no credit will be issued and the product will be returned to the Business Partner. Tyco Security Products reserves the right to levy reasonable charges to cover the inspection and shipping of the goods to and from their premises. Where the returned product is deemed by Tyco Security Products or their approved ERC to be warranty expired or warranty void no credit will be issued and Tyco Security Products Page 7 of 23

8 reserves the right to levy reasonable charges to cover the inspection and shipping of the goods to and from their premises. If repair is possible, Tyco Security Products will offer a quotation for repair although no repairs will be affected until a formal Purchase Order has been received by Tyco in accordance with the guidelines laid out in the next sections. If repair is not possible, or if repair is not required by the business partner, Tyco Security Products will either return the failed unit un-repaired, or dispose of the failed unit at the business partner s discretion. Note that charges for disposal may apply. Special order items are specifically excluded from the provisions for Out of Box Failure. Warranty of Replacement Item The Advance Replacement supplied in an Out of Box failure situation will be a brand new product so the full warranty will be applied as defined in the published EMEA Business Partner Price List. Returns Process for Out of Box Failures Full details of the returns process can be found in Section 3 of this document. Page 8 of 23

9 Chargeable Out of Warranty Repairs Tyco Security Products operates a repairs service and will wherever possible offer a fixed price for the repair of products which are no longer covered by warranty. The Price List for Fixed Price Repairs is available from your Regional Manager or from Customer Service. Where a product is not listed on the Fixed Price Repair List, it may be returned for inspection and a quotation will be provided if repair is considered to be viable although no repairs will be affected until a formal Purchase Order has been received by Tyco. Outline Returns Process for Chargeable Out of Warranty Repairs Full details of the returns process can be found in Section 3 of this document. Beyond Economical Repair (BER) For products which are no longer covered by warranty, Beyond Economical Repair (BER) is defined as: Units received with printed circuit boards or major electronic components missing. Units with major mechanical or major component damage. In the event that Tyco Security Products deems a product to be Beyond Economical Repair, Tyco Security Products will notify the Business Partner. The Business Partner will need to decide whether to scrap the goods or have them returned. A charge to cover investigation and shipping will be levied for all returned products which are no longer covered by warranty and are subsequently deemed to be Beyond Economical Repair. Charges may also be levied for disposal of unwanted items. Warranty of Repair Where products which are no longer covered by their original warranty are returned to Tyco for chargeable repairs, the European Repair Centre will provide six months warranty on all repair work undertaken. This warranty only covers the repair undertaken and does not extend the overall product warranty. In order to claim under the repair warranty, the item will need to be returned by submitting an RMA request. Additionally, we will need: The faulty product in accordance with RMA Customer Instruction procedure, SRB A detailed report of the fault or symptom must be provided within RMA template. Optionally, a Failure Report Sheet (or similar) which describes the failure symptom may be returned with the physical product Details of the previous repair carried out, if applicable. Details of the previous RMA reference number, if applicable. Page 9 of 23

10 3. Returns Procedure Process for In-Warranty Returns The step by step process covering In-Warranty returns is: Business Partner contacts Customer Services making it known that they have a product which has failed In-Warranty and places an order for a Warranty Replacement part. Note that all normal Terms and Conditions, including cancellation terms apply. Customer Services will need details of the failed unit, including the original purchase order number and may require additional information such as Technical Support Case Numbers, Serial Numbers and MAC Addresses. Customer Service will advise based on the date of supply whether the equipment believed to have failed is covered under warranty. This only confirms the original supply date and doesn t mean that Tyco Security Products accepts the product is a genuine warranty failure. The product must be returned using the RMA request for full evaluation. If a Warranty Replacement item is ordered, Customer Services will dispatch the Warranty Replacement product. Supply of a Warranty Replacement part is subject to normal delivery timescales and charges. Warranty Replacements are supplied without ancillary products (except for furnished external power supplies). On receipt of the Warranty Replacement product the Business Partner may need to work with Technical Support to arrange the transfer of any software licenses to their replacement unit. It is imperative that the Business Partner has transferred any software licenses from the suspected failed unit before it is returned to Tyco Security Products for full evaluation. The failed unit should be carefully repacked into its original shipping carton for return. If the original packing is no longer available, then the shipping carton from the Warranty Replacement product should be used. Only furnished external PSUs (i.e. those originally supplied with the product) should be returned. Ancillary items, accessories and cables, etc. should not be returned. Business Partner should fully complete an Returns Material Authorisation (RMA) request and ship goods to Tyco Security Products European Repair Centre (ERC) when RMA is provided. Shipments to the ERC must be fully in accordance with the instructions laid out within the RMA request template. Further details can be found in the instruction document SRB RMA Customer Instructions. Business Partner ships the goods to the appropriate ERC in line with the carriage and shipping instructions below. The RMA will be updated and deemed as Closed once the unit has been agreed as faulty and credit issued, or if the item is no fault found, or warranty void. Page 10 of 23

Any problems found will be diagnosed and where possible repaired. With the exception of Intellex, software installed on all units repaired will be upgraded to the latest version possible (for that unit). For Intellex, software versions are not normally updated to avoid possible compatibility issues with other system components. Instead the latest patches for the version of software installed on the Intellex will be applied. The ERC will provide a Failure Report Sheet with all repair returns. All units will be tested after servicing has been completed and where applicable additional soak testing will be undertaken. Serviced units will be cleaned as far as possible to ensure that they are cosmetically acceptable, however, it must be noted that this is NOT a refurbishment process. Page 21 of 23
