Warranty Coverage
Terms and Conditions
ACTi Corporation (‘ACTi’) products are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use within the warranty period.
Products not sold through ACTi Authorized Distributors are not covered in the warranty agreement.
Warranty obligations for customized products are governed by separate contracts and not covered in this document.
1 ACTi warrants the original purchaser that the full range of IP Surveillance products enclosed with this limited hardware warranty to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a pre-defined period from the date of original purchase.
2 Whether a defect is considered to fall within the warranty period is determined by the date ACTi receives notice of possible defect from Customer via our online Customer Help Desk. Please go to   http://www.acti.com/chd  to report all issues.
3 ACTi’s sole liability is limited to either repair of the defectives using new or refurbished parts, or replacement of the defective unit. ACTi is not responsible for direct, special, incidental or consequential damages resulting from any breach of warranty or condition.
4 ACTi reserves the right to use replacement components for third party peripherals or components no longer available from original suppliers.
5 The basic fee for examining the returned devices is USD 80 per piece.However, if the device is within warranty and it was found to be defective after examination, the examination fee will be fully waived; furthermore, the device will be repaired and returned back to the customer for free. In order to help the customer to resume normal operation as soon as possible and avoid examination fees on devices that are not actually damaged, we are eager to assist you with remote troubleshooting and seek every possible way to fix the device without the unnecessary time and expense of returning the device for repair.
6 Any incorrect or incomplete information (serial numbers, the amount of items, etc) will cause the additional work load for manufacturer; therefore there is a document processing fee for returned devices which will be fully waived if the provided information is correct.
7 The repaired or replaced hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer.
Exclusions from Warranty
ACTi assumes no liability as a consequence of following circumstances, under which the warranty becomes void and ceases to take effect.
1 The product is found to be defective after the warranty period has expired.
2 The product has been subjected to misuse, abuse, negligence, accident, tampering, altering or unauthorized repair, whether by accident or other causes. Such conditions will be determined by ACTi in its sole and unfettered discretion.
3 The product has been damaged due to disasters or extreme conditions, whether natural or human, including but not limited to flood, fire, lightning strikes or power line disturbances.
4 The product has been subject to environmental conditions beyond the designed tolerance. Such as being used in outdoor environments without proper protection for indoor models, liquid damage, extreme heat/cold condition beyond design limit and exposure to direct sunlight or halogen light.
5 The serial number on the product has been removed, altered or defaced.
6 The warranty will not cover cosmetic damages, nor will it cover damages that occurred during shipment.
7 For camera products supplied without a lens, damage to product due to incorrectly mounted lenses will void this limited hardware warranty.
Extended Warranty
ACTi offers extended warranty which can be purchased separately from an ACTi sales representative. It covers Cameras, Video Encoders, Video Decoders, and Standalone NVR products, not including Accessories and Support Tools (Camera Installation Kits, Camera Demo Kits).
The charge for purchase of extended warranty is incremental, based on the selling price of the product.
