YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
IF YOUR FLIGHTWAVE PRODUCT IS CAPABLE OF STORING SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, DATA AND OTHER INFORMATION, YOU SHOULD MAKE PERIODIC BACKUP COPIES OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE STORAGE MEDIA TO PROTECT THE CONTENTS AND AS A PRECAUTION AGAINST POSSIBLE OPERATIONAL FAILURES.
Before receiving warranty service, Flightwave or its agents may require that you furnish proof of purchase details, respond to questions designed to assist with diagnosing potential issues and follow Flightwave's procedures for obtaining warranty service. Before submitting your Flightwave Product for warranty service you should maintain a separate backup copy of the contents of its storage media, remove all personal information that you want to protect and disable any or all security passwords.
DURING WARRANTY SERVICE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE CONTENTS OF THE FLIGHTWAVE PRODUCT'S STORAGE MEDIA WILL BE LOST, REPLACED OR REFORMATTED. IN SUCH AN EVENT FLIGHTWAVE AND ITS AGENTS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, DATA OR OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE STORAGE MEDIA OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE FLIGHTWAVE PRODUCT SERVICED.
Following warranty service your Flightwave Product or a replacement device will be returned to you as your Flightwave Product was configured when originally purchased, subject to applicable updates. You will be responsible for reinstalling all other software programs, data and information. Recovery and reinstallation of other software programs, data and information are not covered under this Warranty.
WHAT WILL FLIGHTWAVE DO IN THE EVENT THE WARRANTY IS BREACHED?
If during the Warranty Period you submit a claim to Flightwave or a FASP in accordance with this warranty, Flightwave will, at its option:
(i) repair the Flightwave Product using new or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (ii) replace the Flightwave Product with the same model (or with your consent a product that has similar functionality) formed from new and/or previously used parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (iii) exchange the Flightwave Product for a refund of your purchase price.
Flightwave may request that you replace certain user-installable parts or Flightwave Products. A replacement part or Flightwave Product, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by Flightwave, assumes the remaining term of the Warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a Flightwave Product or part is replaced or a refund provided, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced or refunded item becomes Flightwave's property.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?
Please access and review all online help resources at www.flightwave.aero/repair-terms-and-conditions/ before seeking warranty service. If the Flightwave Product is still not functioning properly after making use of these resources, please contact a Flightwave representative or FASP. A Flightwave representative or FASP will help determine whether your Flightwave Product requires service and, if it does, will inform you how Flightwave will provide it. When contacting Flightwave via telephone, other charges may apply depending on your location.
WARRANTY SERVICE OPTIONS
Flightwave will provide warranty service through one or more of the following options:
(i) Carry-in service. You may return your Flightwave Product to Flightwave or a FASP location offering carry-in service. Service will be performed at the location, or if a FASP – the FASP may send your Flightwave Product to a Flightwave Repair Service ("FRS") location to be serviced. Once you are notified that service is complete, you will retrieve the Flightwave Product from Flightwave or the FASP location without delay unless Flightwave notifies you that the Flightwave Product will be sent directly to your location from the FRS location.
(ii) Mail-in service. If Flightwave determines that your Flightwave Product is eligible for mail-in service, Flightwave will send you prepaid waybills and if applicable, packaging material and instructions on how to properly pack and address your Flightwave product, so that you may ship your Flightwave Product to an FRS or FASP location. Instructions may be sent to you via email or in hard copy with the packaging material. Once service is complete, the FRS or FASP location will return the Flightwave Product to you. Flightwave will pay for shipping to and from your location if all instructions regarding the method of packaging and shipping the Flightwave Product are followed.
(iii) Do-it-yourself (DIY) parts service. DIY parts service allows you to service your own Flightwave Product. If DIY parts service is available in the circumstances, the following process will apply. (a) Service where Flightwave requires return of the replaced Flightwave Product or part. Flightwave may require a credit card authorization as security for the retail price of the replacement Flightwave Product or part and applicable shipping costs. If you are unable to provide credit card authorization, DIY parts service may not be available to you and Flightwave will offer alternative arrangements for service. Flightwave will ship a replacement Flightwave Product or part to you with installation instructions, if applicable, and any requirements for the return of the replaced Flightwave Product or part. If you follow the instructions, Flightwave will cancel the credit card authorization, so you will not be charged for the Flightwave Product or part and shipping to and from your location. If you fail to return the replaced Flightwave Product or part as instructed or return a replaced product or part that is ineligible for service, Flightwave will charge your credit card for the authorized amount.
(b) Service where Flightwave does not require return of the replaced Flightwave Product or part. Flightwave will ship you free of charge a replacement Flightwave Product or part accompanied by instructions on installation, if applicable, and any requirements for the disposal of the replaced Flightwave Product or part.
(c) Flightwave is not responsible for any labor costs you incur relating to DIY parts service. Should you require further assistance, contact Flightwave at the telephone number listed at www.flightwave.aero/contact-us/. Flightwave reserves the right to change the method by which Flightwave may provide warranty service to you, and your Flightwave Product's eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Flightwave Product cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Flightwave may repair or replace Flightwave Products and parts with comparable Flightwave Products and parts that comply with local standards.
