Equipment Limited Warranty
WildBlue Communications, Inc. ("WildBlue") manufactures (or has manufactured
by a third party) its hardware products from parts and components that are new or
equivalent to new in accordance with industry-standard practices. WildBlue warrants
that the following hardware products supplied by WildBlue to you will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship: the satellite modem, power supply and outdoor
unit (including the antenna and the transceiver). For all equipment installed on
or after January 13, 2008, the limited warranty term is two years, beginning on
the date of installation of the equipment.For all equipment installed prior to January
13, 2008, the limited warranty term is one year, beginning on the date of installation
of the equipment.
This limited warranty does not cover damage or affected operation of covered equipment
resulting from external causes, including accident, acts of God, abuse, vandalism,
misuse, problems with electrical power, servicing not authorized by WildBlue, unauthorized
disassembly or opening of components (including the modem or transceiver), usage
not in accordance with product instructions, failure to perform reasonable required
preventive maintenance, and problems caused by use of parts and components not supplied
by WildBlue. This limited warranty does not cover any items that are in one or more
of the following categories: software; external devices (except as specifically
noted); accessories or parts added to a WildBlue system after the system is installed
by WildBlue; accessories or parts added to a WildBlue system through WildBlue's
system integration department; and accessories or parts that are not installed at
the factory.
During the limited warranty period, WildBlue will repair or replace covered products
that are returned to WildBlue's designated address. To request limited warranty
service, you must contact WildBlue's Customer Care department, toll-free, at (866)
945-3258 within the limited warranty period. If service to the satellite modem or
power supply is required pursuant to the limited warranty, WildBlue will ship new
or reconditioned replacement products to your address in the continental US, freight
prepaid. WildBlue also will enclose pre-paid shipping materials and you must use
this packaging to ship the defective product(s) back to WildBlue’s designated
address. If you do not do so, or if the returned merchandise is not received in
good condition (less the repair issue for which you originally sought limited warranty
service) you will be responsible for paying the full list price of the equipment
that was sent as a replacement.
If your WildBlue-supplied outdoor unit requires service under this limited warranty,
WildBlue will not charge for any labor costs we incur to repair or replace it (or
any component of it) within the first 90 days after the initial installation. After
this period, WildBlue will cover the cost of the new equipment, but the on-site
labor cost must be paid by you. WildBlue will provide on-site labor at its standard
rates and an estimated charge can be given prior to the work, based on the type
of the replacement. If your satellite dish needs to be re-pointed after the first
90 days of service, standard on-site labor charges will apply.
WildBlue owns all parts removed from repaired products. WildBlue uses new and reconditioned
parts made by various manufacturers in performing limited warranty repairs and building
replacement products. If WildBlue repairs or replaces a product, its limited warranty
term is not extended.
