By finalizing your purchase order online (or your order under NUACOM’s Trial Program), you, as the purchaser of the Hardware from NUACOM (“you” or “Customer”) agree to the terms of this Sale Agreement, and, if applicable, you also agree to bind to the terms of this Sale Agreement any end user (“End User”) on whose behalf you are making this purchase for (Customer and NUACOM are hereafter referred to individually as “Party” and together as “Parties”). If you and/or the End User, as the case may be, disagree with these terms and conditions, do not finalize your order, or if the order has been placed, return the Hardware immediately upon receipt without using it.
Payment; Purchase Price and Associated Charges.
Payment must be made at the time of order unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Customer will pay the total purchase price plus shipping and handling, if any, as specified on the emailed invoice. Customer is also responsible for all taxes related to this purchase and to the import of the Hardware, if applicable, to include but not limited to any and all sales taxes, value-added taxes, import taxes/customs/duties and any other similar taxes imposed by any governmental entity. Moreover, Customer bears the responsibility to report purchases and/or imports as required by local law at their business location and/or at location where the Hardware is delivered by NUACOM.
Title; Risk of Loss.
Title to the Hardware passes to Customer when the Hardware is paid for in full. However, NUACOM bears all responsibility for loss of or damage to the Hardware during initial shipment after purchase and until Hardware is received by Customer, unless Customer selects its own mode of shipping. In repair cases, risk of loss is borne by Customer for return of the Hardware, but by NUACOM following repair and upon return to Customer.
Limited Warranties.
NUACOM warrants the Hardware against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use (the “Warranty”) for a period of twelve (12) months from the Delivery Date (the “Warranty Period”), on the condition that the Hardware has been completely paid for. Unless as otherwise mandated by local law, the Warranty Period does not restart if Customer receives a replacement appliance and/or replacement software during the RMA process.
NUACOM disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including without limitation implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or against hidden or latent defects. NUACOM’s responsibility for warranty claims is limited to repair or replacement. NUACOM reserves the right to modify this Warranty at any time, at its sole discretion, and with notice to Customer.
NUACOM does not warrant that the Hardware or any networks or systems protected by the Hardware will be free from vulnerability, intrusion, attack, or other damage. NUACOM does not warrant that the operation of the Hardware will be uninterrupted or error-free. NUACOM is not responsible for damage arising from failure to follow instructions relating to the Hardware’s use. This Warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, neglect or failure to properly maintain (to include but not limited to water damage and/or condensation or improper temperatures during storage), or improper installation; (d) to damage caused by electrical disturbances or acts of God, to include but not limited to civil disturbance, war, flood, fire, rodents or insects; (e) where manufacturer’s serial numbers have been removed from the Hardware; and (f) to damage caused during shipment (due to Customer’s improper packaging) from Customer to NUACOM in the case of Hardware returns for repair.
This Warranty is voided immediately if repair, modification (to include upgrades, expansions or usage or addition of non-manufacturer parts or accessories), alteration or other service is attempted other than by NUACOM. In this regard, the integrity of the appliance casing (aka the box) should not be violated for any reason, unless expressly authorized by NUACOM in writing.
Technical Support.
NUACOM will provide technical support to Customer in accordance with the then-current support policy in effect (see https://nuacom.io/terms-conditions/ or any successor or related locations designated by NUACOM) and in accordance with the Warranty provided in section below, unless full payment for the purchase of the Hardware is not received. NUACOM will respond to Customer support problems by phone or by email inquiry (contact information is provided at the support link above). If a support problem cannot be rectified via phone or email, Customer will be provided with return instructions (see the “Repair” section above Support services will be generally be provided in the following languages: English.
Customer agrees and understands that it may be necessary for NUACOM to collect, process and use Customer data to perform the support and repair obligations identified herein. This may include the necessity to transfer data to affiliate third parties that are contracted with NUACOM to assist in meeting these obligations. In doing so, NUACOM will (i) protect and keep confidential such information, (ii) not use such information for reasons other those discussed above, and (iii) not sell, distribute or pass on such information to any third party.
Repair.
The Customer taking delivery of the Hardware from NUACOM (either the NUACOM reseller or distributor, or the end user customer, as the case may be) should carefully inspect the Hardware upon its delivery. Such Customer should maintain all original packaging upon receiving the Hardware until the Hardware has been installed and is found to be in proper working order.
If the Hardware arrives to such Customer damaged or defective at initial delivery (the date of arrival is referred to herein as the “Delivery Date”), such Customer must notify NUACOM Technical Support (contact information is provided on the NUACOM website at https://nuacom.io/contact/ related locations designated by NUACOM) within thirty (30) days from the Delivery Date of the condition of the Hardware and obtain return instructions if needed. Hardware must then be returned immediately to NUACOM for repair or replacement at NUACOM’s discretion (on the outside of the box, please write the RMA # (Return Merchandise Authorization) and attach a copy of the RMA form provided on the NUACOM website cited above). NUACOM will then arrange for delivery of temporary or permanent replacement Hardware. Such Customer is responsible for properly packing the return shipment of the Hardware. NUACOM will arrange for shipping and insurance.
If such Customer fails to notify NUACOM within thirty (30) days of the Delivery Date, (i) the Refund Policy below will not apply, (ii) Customer will bear the cost of returning the Hardware for repair, and (iii) damaged Hardware will not be accepted.
If during the Warranty Period (as described above) but following the initial thirty (30) day period the Hardware is not working properly, Customer must contact NUACOM Technical Support to confirm the problem and obtain return instructions if needed. The RMA instructions provided above also apply in this case. Customer will pay shipping and insurance costs when returning the Hardware for repair.
If the Hardware is returned for repair or replacement at any time following purchase by Customer and NUACOM discovers that the Warranty is inapplicable due to the reasons provided above (see the “Limited Warranties” section hereof), the Hardware will not be repaired and will be returned to Customer at Customer’s expense, unless Customer authorizes and pays for repair. Whether Customer authorizes repair or not, NUACOM reserves the right to charge a “No Fault Found” fee where the Hardware is found not to be defective due to any fault of the NUACOM.
Any NUACOM reseller or distributor involved in the purchase of the Hardware is not authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition to the Limited Warranties provided by NUACOM herein, although any such reseller or distributor may provide its own warranty in addition to the warranty coverage provided by NUACOM.
Since the Hardware is designed to use software programs, data and other information, Customer is advised to make periodic backup copies of the software installed by Customer and of any information contained on the Hardware’s hard drive or other storage media to protect the contents and as a precaution against possible operational failures. Before Customer returns Hardware for repair, Customer is advised to keep a separate backup copy of software and content, and must disable any security passwords. It is possible that the contents of Customer’s hard drive will be lost or reformatted in the course of repair, and NUACOM and/or its agents are not responsible for any damage to or loss of programs, data or other information contained on the media or any part of the Hardware serviced, nor to any accessories, parts or external devices installed by Customer. Hardware or a replacement product will be returned to Customer configured as when originally purchased, subject to applicable updates. Customer will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and passwords. Recovery and reinstallation of software programs and user data are not covered under the warranty provided herein.
Refund Policy and Product Return.
On a case-by-case basis, NUACOM reserves the right to authorize a full refund of any Hardware purchase made where a refund is requested within thirty (30) days of the Delivery Date. In such cases where a refund is approved, End User will return the Hardware to the NUACOM distributor or reseller which ordered the product or directly to NUACOM if the End User made such order itself. If the Hardware was ordered by a distributor or reseller, such distributor or reseller will coordinate with NUACOM for the return of the Hardware. In either case, Customer is responsible for shipping and insurance charges and any damage to the Hardware which takes place en route to NUACOM. NUACOM reserves the right to charge a nominal re-stock fee for any such returns.
