Warranty
Essex PB&R Corp. warrants that: (1) The Essex Emergency Passenger Oxygen
System (EPOS) (hereinafter referred to as the "unit") will remain free from
defects in material and workmanship, whether patent or latent, for a period of
ten (10) years from the date of manufacture when properly stowed in containers
supplied or approved by Essex PB&R Corp.
For those units equipped with a humidity indicator, the loss of vacuum in the
inner packaging does not render the unit unserviceable. Units with barrier
pouches that have lost vacuum remain serviceable as long as the humidity
indicator remains blue. Although if a unit is found to have a damaged barrier
pouch, i.e. large cut, or puncture, the unit should be pulled from service and
sent back for repair at the customer’s expense.
The liability of Essex PB&R Corp. for any defect in any unit, and the sole
and exclusive remedy of the buyer, shall be limited to the repair or
replacement of the defective unit, or a refund of the original purchase price
(pro-rated in proportion to the ten (10) year warranty) at the sole discretion
of Essex PB&R Corp. The obligations to repair, replace, or provide a
pro-rated refund shall terminate ten (10) years after the date of manufacture
of the unit.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties and representations, expressed
or implied, and all other obligations and liabilities of Essex PB&R Corp.
Correction of defects, in the manner and for the period of time provided above,
shall constitute fulfillment of all liabilities of Essex PB&R Corp. whether
based on warranty, tort, and contract or otherwise. Under no circumstances
shall Essex PB&R be liable for any special, incidental or consequential
damages.
This warranty shall not apply to any unit that has been stowed in an
unauthorized container, which has been repaired or altered by anyone other than
Essex PB&R Corp., or which has been subject to misuse due to negligence or
accident, or the failure to use the unit in accordance with the Product’s
Manual supplied by Essex PB&R Corp.
