Within this warranty period, American Control Electronics will repair or replace, at its sole discretion, such products that are returned to American Control Electronics, 14300 De La Tour Drive, South Beloit, Illinois 61080 USA. This warranty applies only to standard catalog products, and does not apply to specials. Any returns for special controls will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. American Control Electronics is not responsible for removal, installation, or any other incidental expenses incurred in shipping the product to and from the repair point.
Disclaimer
The provisions of the Warranty are American Control Electronics’s sole obligation and exclude all other warranties of merchantability for use, express or implied. American Control Electronics further disclaims any responsibility whatsoever to the customer or to any other person for injury to the person or damage or loss of property of value caused by any product that has been subject to misuse, negligence, or accident, or misapplied or modified by unauthorized persons or improperly installed.
Limitations of Liability
In the event of any claim for breach of any of American Control Electronics’s obligations, whether express or implied, and particularly of any other claim or breach of warranty contained in the Warranty, or of any other warranties, express or implied, or claim of liability that might, despite the Disclaimer, be decided against American Control Electronics by lawful authority, American Control Electronics shall under no circumstances be liable for any consequential damages, losses, or expenses arising in connection with the use of, or inability to use, American Control Electronics’s product for any purpose whatsoever.

Force Majeure
American Control Electronics shall not be liable for any delay in or impairment of performance resulting in whole or in part from any force majeure event, including but not limited to Acts of God, labor disruptions, shortages, inability to procure product, supplies or raw materials, severe weather conditions, or any other circumstances or cause beyond the control of American Control Electronics in the conduct of its business.
