Warranty Limitations
To the extent permitted by law, this Warranty and the remedies set forth are exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, remedies, and conditions, whether oral, written, statutory, express, or implied. OpenNMS specifically disclaims all statutory and implied warranties including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, warranties against hidden or latent defects, and warranties of non-infringement of the Appliance to the extent permitted by law. Insofar as such warranties cannot be disclaimed, OpenNMS hereby limits the duration and remedies of such warranties to the duration of, and remedies under, this express Warranty. Some countries, provinces, states or localities do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty (or condition) may last, so the limitation above may not apply to you.

What Is Not Covered By This Warranty?
This Warranty does NOT apply to any non-OpenNMS-branded hardware products or any software, even if packaged and sold with OpenNMS hardware.

OpenNMS is not responsible for damages or losses arising from failure to follow any and all instructions relating to the use of the Appliance.
This Warranty will not apply to:
(a) Appliances that are not performing properly because they have been damaged by being dropped or crushed or exposed to any adverse conditions (e.g., liquids, smoke, excessive dust, etc.);
(b) Appliances that have been improperly connected to any other device, network or power source that impairs the function of the Appliance;
(c) cosmetic damage including, but not limited to, scratches, dents, and broken plastic on ports;

(j) damage caused by abuse, mishandling, and improper packaging by you;
(k) defects caused by normal wear and team or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Appliance.
This Warranty will be immediately voided and cancelled if the Appliance’s identification marks, such as serial numbers, have been altered or removed or if the tamper evident security seal on the device is broken.
Limited Warranty Period
