5-Year Limited Product Warranty for Aurora & Polaris Signs

Definition of Warranty Coverage

Redmont Sign LLC dba Stewart Signs (the "Company") expressly warrants to the original purchaser ("You" or "Buyer" or "Owner" or "Customer") that, for a period of five (5) years from the date of shipment (the "Warranty Period"), the electronic displays and the associated company products (the "Product") will be reasonably free of defects in materials and workmanship. During the Limited Warranty Period the Company will, at its discretion, repair or replace any defective covered product. This Limited Warranty only applies to the Company's Product if installed, used, and maintained in the manner recommended by Company and this Limited Warranty is conditioned upon compliance with all such instructions.

Failed electronic parts or assemblies will be repaired, exchanged or replaced, at the discretion of the Company. Telephone support is provided as needed during the warranty period. Removing and reinstalling repaired or replacement parts are the responsibility of the owner. Replacement or repaired parts are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for ninety (90) days or, for the remainder of the Limited Warranty Period of the Product they are replacing or in which they are installed, whichever is longer.

The Company will repair failed LED pixels, if greater than 0.5% (one-half of one percent) of the total number of pixels in the sign have failed in one (1) year, provided the sign is installed with the recommended ventilation system for its location. The definition of pixel failure is when all LED's in the pixel will no longer emit light. Pixel repair is performed at the Company Repair Center. Owner bears the responsibility of transporting Product to Company's Repair Center. As known within the Sign Industry all LEDs degrade and produce less light as they age. Eventually the LEDs will require replacement even though the LEDs will still emit light. This Warranty does not cover normal LED degradation.

The Company will make reasonable attempts to repair failed radio components. The Company defines radio component failure as a radio component that does not transmit or receive data properly due to a manufacturer's defect. If the Company, at its discretion, determines a repair is unreasonable, replacement is not included in this Warranty and the third-party manufacturer's warranty will apply. Local site interference or obstructions may cause intermittent or complete failure of radio performance. This Warranty does not include the provision of replacement communication methods (such as wire, fiber optic cable, conduit, trenching or other solutions) for the purpose of overcoming local site interference. The Warranty does not cover electrical work external to the equipment, accessories, alterations, attachments, or other devices furnished by the Company. Batteries and metallic or fiber optic data cables are not covered.

Eligibility and Warranty Period

This Limited Warranty is not transferable. Service under this Limited Warranty begins immediately upon shipment to the Customer or the Customer's Authorized Reseller. Unless otherwise stated the Limited Warranty period is 5 years.

Customer Obligations

Failure by the Customer to properly maintain the Product, including but not limited to filters and the ventilation/air conditioning systems, will void coverage for affected components.

Title to the product passes to the buyer upon our delivery to the freight carrier. Loss or damage to the product when in possession of the freight carrier is the responsibility of the customer and the freight carrier is not covered by this warranty. Upon delivery, incidental blemishes and scratches are considered normal unless they can be viewed from 20 feet or more under normal use conditions.
