AES Corporation (“AES”) warrants to the original purchaser that each AES Subscriber Product will be free from defects in material and workmanship for three (3) years from date of purchase and all other products purchased from AES including central station receivers and accessories will be warranted for one (1) year from the date of purchase. At no cost to the original purchaser for parts or labor, AES will repair or replace any AES Product or any, part or parts thereof which are judged defective under the terms of this Warranty.
Defective AES Products must be returned to AES directly, provided they are properly packed, postage prepaid.

Improper or incorrectly performed maintenance or repair voids this Warranty. This Warranty does not cover replacement parts that are not approved by AES. This Warranty does not apply to any AES Product or any part thereof that has been altered in any way to affect its stability or reliability, or that has been subjected to abuse, misuse, negligence, accident or act of God, or that has had the serial number effaced or removed.
Certain AES Products are designed to operate and communicate with other specified AES Products and certain other specified products, systems or networks authorized or approved by AES, as identified in the applicable AES Product instructions.

AES makes no warranty, express or implied, other than what is expressly stated in this Warranty. If the law of your state provides that an implied warranty of merchantability, or an implied warranty of fitness for particular purpose, or any other implied warranty, applies to AES, then any such implied warranty is limited to the duration of this Warranty.
AES cannot be aware of and is not responsible for the differing values of any property to be protected by its alarm reporting systems. This Warranty does not cover and AES shall not be liable for any defect, incidental or consequential, loss or damage arising out of the failure of any AES Product to operate.
