Warranty Periods for Brinno Refurbished Units When Purchased from a Retail Dealer:

Some retail stores do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the limited warranty or exclusions may not apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which vary from country to country, state to state, and store to store.

This Limited Warranty shall apply to any repair, replacement part or replacement product for the remainder of the original Limited Warranty period or for one (1) year, whichever is longer. Any parts or product replaced under this Limited Warranty will become the property of Brinno’s dealer/distributor, or Brinno headquarter in Asia specified.

For a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase of the product (“Labor Warranty”), Brinno’s dealer/distributor or Brinno headquarter in Asia will, at its option, repair or replace with new or refurbished product, product determined to be defective. If Brinno’s dealer/distributor worldwide or Brinno headquarter in Asia elects to replace the product after this Labor Warranty has expired but while the Parts Warranty below is still in effect, it will do so for the applicable labor charge.

Parts:

For a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase of product (“Parts Warranty”), Brinno will supply new or refurbished replacement parts in exchange for parts determined to be defective.

This Limited Warranty only covers product issues caused by defects in material or workmanship during ordinary consumer use; it does not cover product issues caused by any other reason, including but not limited to product issues due to commercial use, acts of God, misuse, limitations of technology, or modification of or to any part of the Brinno product.

This Limited Warranty is invalid if the factory applied serial number has been altered or removed from the product.


NON-WARRANTY AND REPAIR

For Brinno products no longer covered by warranty we use a flat rate estimate system to determine the cost of the repair. The cost of repair is based on the typical time and parts needed to service the unit back to full operating condition. It is a set fee and will not increase if more than the typical time is required to make the repair. A letter or e-mail will be sent to you with all charges required. No work will be done without your approval and there is no charge to you should you choose not to proceed with the repair.

Products received without identification or contact information will be listed as Unclaimed. We will hold Unclaimed products for 90 days. After 90 days without contact from you to identify and claim your product, we reserve the right to discard the Unclaimed products without any form of compensation.
