Equipment Limited Warranty
WildBlue Communications, Inc. ("WildBlue") manufactures (or has manufactured by a third party)
its hardware products from parts and components that are new or equivalent to new in
accordance with industry-standard practices. WildBlue warrants that the following hardware
products supplied by WildBlue to you will be free from defects in materials and workmanship: the
satellite modem, power supply and outdoor unit (including the antenna and the transceiver). For
all equipment installed on or after January 13, 2008, the limited warranty term is two years,
beginning on the date of installation of the equipment.For all equipment installed prior to January
13, 2008, the limited warranty term is one year, beginning on the date of installation of the
equipment.
This limited warranty does not cover damage or affected operation of covered equipment
resulting from external causes, including accident, acts of God, abuse, vandalism, misuse,
problems with electrical power, servicing not authorized by WildBlue, unauthorized disassembly
or opening of components (including the modem or transceiver), usage not in accordance with
product instructions, failure to perform reasonable required preventive maintenance, and
problems caused by use of parts and components not supplied by WildBlue. This limited warranty
does not cover any items that are in one or more of the following categories: software; external
devices (except as specifically noted); accessories or parts added to a WildBlue system after the
system is installed by WildBlue; accessories or parts added to a WildBlue system through
WildBlue's system integration department; and accessories or parts that are not installed at the
factory.
During the limited warranty period, WildBlue will repair or replace covered products that are
returned to WildBlue's designated address. To request limited warranty service, you must contact
WildBlue's Customer Care department, toll-free, at (866) 945-3258 within the limited warranty
period. If service to the satellite modem or power supply is required pursuant to the limited
warranty, WildBlue will ship new or reconditioned replacement products to your address in the
continental US, freight prepaid. WildBlue also will enclose pre-paid shipping materials and you
must use this packaging to ship the defective product(s) back to WildBlue’s designated address.
If you do not do so, or if the returned merchandise is not received in good condition (less the
repair issue for which you originally sought limited warranty service) you will be responsible for
paying the full list price of the equipment that was sent as a replacement.
If your WildBlue-supplied outdoor unit requires service under this limited warranty, WildBlue will
not charge for any labor costs we incur to repair or replace it (or any component of it) within the
first 90 days after the initial installation. After this period, WildBlue will cover the cost of the new
equipment, but the on-site labor cost must be paid by you. WildBlue will provide on-site labor at
its standard rates and an estimated charge can be given prior to the work, based on the type of
the replacement. If your satellite dish needs to be re-pointed after the first 90 days of service,
standard on-site labor charges will apply.
WildBlue owns all parts removed from repaired products. WildBlue uses new and reconditioned
parts made by various manufacturers in performing limited warranty repairs and building
replacement products. If WildBlue repairs or replaces a product, its limited warranty term is not
extended.
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. WILDBLUE’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR MALFUNCTIONS
AND DEFECTS IN HARDWARE IS LIMITED TO REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT AS SET FORTH IN THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT. ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCT,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF AND CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO
THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD SET FORTH ABOVE AND NO WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, WILL APPLY AFTER SUCH PERIOD. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON
HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.
WILDBLUE DOES NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY STATEMENT OR ANY LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LIABILITY FOR PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR
USE OR FOR LOST DATA OR SOFTWARE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
These provisions apply to WildBlue's limited warranty only. For provisions of any service plan
covering your system, refer to the separate service contract for that plan.
