by anyone else than Microcare. In order to qualify for the warranty, the product must not be disassembled or
modified. Repair or replacement are our sole remedies and Microcare shall not be liable for damages, whether
direct, incidental, special, or consequential, even caused by negligence or fault. Microcare owns all parts

consequential, incidental, contingent or special damages, even if having been advised of the probability of
such damages. Any and all other warranties expressed or implied arising by law, course of dealing, course of
performance, usage of trade or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to a period of three years (five years for Inverters
