The product has been found to be defective after the warranty period has expired.

The customer agrees to insure the product or assume the risk of loss or damage during transit, to prepay shipping charges, and to use the original shipping container or equivalent.

Repaired or replaced products are warranted for thirty (30) days from the date of repair or replacement, or for the remainder of the original product's warranty period, whichever is longer.
