Unless a different period is specified for a particular hardware Product, or in a sales agreement
between xG and customer, or in the published specification sheet for the hardware Product, xG's
hardware Products are generally warranted against defects in workmanship and materials for a
period of twelve (12) months from the date of original purchase, provided the Product remains
unmodified and is operated under normal and proper conditions. Unless otherwise so provided the
warranty period for computer programs in machine-readable form included in a hardware Product,
which are essential for the functionality will be coincident with the warranty period of the
hardware Product. Software patches, bug fixes or workarounds do not extend the original warranty
period. For Software sold by xG and run outside the hardware Product (e.g. xMSC), the warranty
term is 90 days from date of original purchase. All accessories (e.g. antennas, cables, power supply,
POE) carry a warranty term of 90 days from date of original purchase.
The Limited Warranty extends only to the original purchaser of the Product from xG, or its
authorized Resellers, and is not assignable or transferable to any subsequent purchaser or end-
user.
xG’s warranty applies only to a Product that is manufactured by or for xG Technology and is
identified within xG’s price book at time of purchase . Any products not covered by xG’s warranty,
but supplied under the customer's Purchase Order with xG as part of the delivered equipment, are
covered under that manufacturer's standard warranty and any warranty claims should be handled
directly with that manufacturer.
xG’s warranty shall not apply: (i) to any Product subjected to accident, misuse, neglect, alteration,
acts of God, improper handling, improper transport, improper storage, improper use or application,
improper installation, improper testing or unauthorized repair; (ii) use of parts or accessories not
approved or supplied by xG, or failure to perform operator handling and scheduled maintenance
instructions supplied by xG or (iii) to cosmetic problems or defects that result from normal wear
and tear under ordinary use, and do not affect the performance or use of the Product.
If the Product develops a covered defect within the warranty period, xG will, at its option, either
repair or replace the Product found by xG to be defective or not in conformity with material
specifications, provided that the Product is returned during the warranty period.

12
xMax 2.4 GHz Access Point - Quick Start Guide - G7605 - Release 2.0
Customer is responsible for shipment to xG (or authorized service provider) and assumes all costs
and risks associated with this transportation; return shipment to the Customer will be at xG’s
expense. Customer shall be responsible for return shipment charges for Product returned where xG
determines there is no defect ("No Defect Found"), or for Product returned that xG determines is
not eligible for warranty repair. No charge will be made to customer for replacement parts for
warranty repairs.
Product that has been repaired or replaced may consist of refurbished equipment that contains
used components, some of which have been reprocessed. The used components comply with xG
Product performance and reliability specifications. The repair services provided are warranted
against defects in workmanship and materials on the repaired component of the product for a
period of 30 days from the shipment date of the repaired product, or until the end of the original
warranty period, whichever is longer.
xG is not responsible for any damage to or loss of any software programs, data or removable data
storage media, or the restoration or reinstallation of any software programs or data other than the
software, if any, installed by xG during manufacture of the Product or shipped with Product. xG’s
sole obligation for software that when properly installed and used does not substantially conform
to the published specifications in effect when the software is first shipped by xG, is to use
commercially reasonable efforts to correct any reproducible material non conformity (as
determined by xG at its sole discretion) by providing Customer with: (a) telephone or e-mail access
to report non conformance so that xG can verify reproducibility; (b) a software patch or bug-fix, if
available, or a workaround to bypass the issue, if available; and (c) where applicable, replacement
of damaged or defective external media, such as a CD-ROM disk, on which the software was
originally delivered. xG does not warrant that the use of the software will be uninterrupted, error-
free, free of security vulnerabilities, or that the software will meet Customer’s particular
requirements. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty is, at Seller's
option, to receive (i) suitably modified software, or part thereof, or (ii) comparable replacement
software or part thereof.
Because it is impossible for xG to know the purposes for which the purchaser acquired this Product
or the uses to which this Product will be put, the purchaser assumes full responsibility for the
selection of the Product for its installation and use. While every reasonable effort has been made
to insure that the purchaser will receive a Product that can be used and enjoyed, xG does not
warrant that the functions of the Product will meet the purchaser’s requirements or that the
operation of the Product will be uninterrupted or error-free. xG is not responsible for problems
caused by the interaction of the Product with any other software or hardware.
