Limited Warranty

Vision Aerial Inc. (“Manufacturer”) warrants to the original end-user (“Purchaser”) that for one year following the date of delivery of our Product (“Warranty Period”), the Product (excluding (i) any third-party-made products and (ii) any third party software) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship when properly installed and used for its intended purpose and in its intended operating environment. This warranty does not apply to any Product that has been: (i) altered, repaired, or modified or (ii) damaged or destroyed by accidents or similar events or by any intentional, reckless, or negligent acts or omissions of any party other than Manufacturer. In the event of a defect, return the Product to the original place of purchase or Manufacturer, but only after instructed to do so by the Manufacturer. Purchaser shall provide proof of purchase to file a warranty claim. The proof of purchase shall include any and all identifying information such as invoice number, date of purchase, P.O. number, authorized reseller name, etc. Purchaser shall ship and bear the cost of shipping the Product to Manufacturer, and Manufacturer shall bear the cost of shipping the Product back to Purchaser within the contiguous United States of America after the completion of service under this limited warranty. Purchaser’s exclusive remedy and Manufacturer’s entire liability under this warranty will be for Manufacturer at its option to repair or replace the Product or refund purchase price less any rebates. Purchaser assumes all liability and, as such, releases Manufacturer from any liability for any accident, injury, damage, death, loss, illegal activity or any other claim that may occur resulting from or during the use of the Product, whether or not such use is foreseeable by Manufacturer.

In the event that a Vision Aerial system is purchased by an authorized reseller, the limited warranty will begin upon the reseller’s sale of the system or after six (6) months from the date of manufacture, whichever occurs sooner. 

MANUFACTURER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE APPLICABLE EXPRESS WARRANTY. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to Purchaser. This warranty gives Purchaser specific legal rights, and Purchaser may also have other rights which vary by jurisdiction.

All third-party software provided with the Product is provided “AS IS.” Purchaser assumes the entire risk as to the quality, performance, accuracy, and effect of such software, and should it prove defective, Purchaser, and not Manufacturer, assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing or repair. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, INCLUDING DAMAGE TO PAYLOAD, EVEN IF MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL MANUFACTURER’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY PURCHASER FOR THE PRODUCT (EXCLUDING PAYLOAD OR OTHER COMPONENTS NOT MANUFACTURED BY MANUFACTURER).

The foregoing limitations will apply even if any warranty or remedy provided under this Agreement fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Purchaser.

Manufacturer Disclaimer: All purchasers, users, and any or all parties involved or engaging in the use of Products agree to the following:

  • Manufacturer does not promote or endorse high-risk, careless, and/or dangerous actions when using their products.
  • Manufacturer is not liable for any use or misuse of its products.

Governing Law and Arbitration. This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of Montana without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Any claim or dispute in connection with this Limited Warranty shall be resolved in a cost-effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. The arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The alternative dispute resolution provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or be solely based on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the foregoing arbitration clause does not apply for any reason, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts located within Gallatin County, Montana for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction of such claims or disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manufacturer may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.
