							LIMITED WARRANTY
ASK, InFocus, Proxima-Branded Products
InFocus Corporation  (“InFocus”) warrants that the ASK, InFocus, and Proxima-branded product 
(“Product”) purchased from InFocus or an InFocus reseller will conform to the manufacturers specifications 
and be free from defects in material or workmanship for the Warranty period provided below.  InFocus does 
not warrant that the Product will meet the specific requirements of the end-user customer. The Limited War-
ranty period commences on the date of purchase by the end-user customer. Said Limited Warranty shall 
apply only to the end-user purchaser (first person or entity that purchases a new Product for personal or 
business use and not for the purpose of distribution or resale).   Any person exercising a claim under this 
Limited Warranty must establish to the satisfaction of InFocus both the date of purchase and that the Product 
was purchased new.  The sales receipt or invoice, showing the date of purchase of the Product is the proof of 
the date of purchase.
From the date of such purchase, said Limited Warranty shall continue for a period of two (2) years (parts and 
labor) for Projector Products; for one (1) year (parts only) for customer replaceable and Accessory Products; 
and for ninety (90) days or 500 hours (parts only), whichever comes first, for Lamp Products (whether pur-
chased in projectors or separately as replacements).  During the Warranty period for the Product, Replace-
ment lamps, which are purchased at the time of projector purchase, will have a 90-day or 500 hour Warranty, 
whichever comes first, from the date the spare lamp is put into use. 
At the sole option of InFocus, the Product will either be repaired or replaced.  All exchanged parts and Prod-
ucts replaced under this Warranty will become property of InFocus. InFocus’ sole obligation is to supply (or 
pay for) all labor necessary to repair the Product found to be defective within the Warranty period and to 
repair or replace defective parts with new parts or, at the option of InFocus, serviceable used parts that are 
equivalent or superior to new parts performance.
During the Warranty period, to exercise this Limited Warranty, the purchaser must first contact either InFo-
cus, a service facility authorized by InFocus or the place of original purchase.  For Warranty service, the pur-
chaser will be advised to return or deliver the defective Product freight and all fees prepaid, to an InFocus 
Service Center or to a service facility authorized by InFocus.  When returning Product to InFocus, a Return 
Material Authorization Number (RMA # ) is required and must be clearly displayed on the outside of the 
shipping carton containing the Product.  The Product is to be fully insured and packed in either its original 
carton or a similar package affording an equal degree of protection.  InFocus or the service facility authorized 
by InFocus will return the repaired/replaced Product freight prepaid to the purchaser.   Products returned 
for Warranty service must be accompanied by a written letter that: i.) explains the problem; ii) provides proof 
of date of purchase; iii) provides the dealer’s name; and iv.) provides the model and serial number of the 
Product.  Upon request of InFocus Corporation or an authorized repair center for InFocus, proof of legal 
importation must accompany the warranty repair Product, otherwise the Product must be returned to the 
place of original purchase, to the manufacturer (Purchaser must bear all tax, duty and freight), or the Pur-
chaser must bear charges for the warranty repair.
No repair or replacement of Product or part thereof shall extend the Warranty period as to the entire Product.  
Warranty on the repaired part and workmanship shall only be effective for a period of ninety (90) days fol-
lowing the repair or replacement of that part or the remaining period of the Product Warranty whichever is 
greater.  
						

							WARRANTY LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION
This Limited Warranty extends only to Products purchased from InFocus or an InFocus authorized reseller. 
InFocus shall have no further obligation under the foregoing Limited Warranty if the Product has been dam-
aged due to abuse, misuse, neglect, accident, unusual physical or electrical stress, unauthorized modifica-
tions, tampering, alterations, or service other than by InFocus or its authorized agents, causes other than from 
ordinary use or failure to properly use the Product in the application for which said Product is intended.
Limited Warranty excludes Product or accessory cleaning, repair, or replacement of plastics due to cosmetic 
damage and damage as a result of normal wear.  Product repair outside of the terms of the Limited Warranty 
will be on a time and materials basis.   Prolonged Product “demonstration” causes unusual Product wear and 
is not considered normal use under the terms of this Limited Warranty.  
Accessory Warranty covers the accessory item only and excludes normal wear.  Lamp Product Warranty 
excludes expected lamp degradation.
Remanufactured Products and Software Products are exempt from the foregoing Limited Warranty.  Please 
refer to the appropriate Remanufactured Product Limited Warranty or Software Product Limited Warranty 
for applicable Warranty information.
DISCLAIMER OF UNSTATED WARRANTIES
THE WARRANTY PRINTED ABOVE IS THE ONLY WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THIS PURCHASE. 
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DIS-
CLAIMED. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF AND THE 
FOREGOING WARRANTY SHALL NOT BE EXTENDED, ALTERED OR VARIED EXCEPT BY WRITTEN 
INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY INFOCUS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW 
LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY LAST, SO SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT INFOCUS’ LIABILITY WHETHER IN CONTRACT, IN TORT, 
UNDER ANY WARRANTY, IN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE RETURN OF 
THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES 
SHALL INFOCUS BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAM-
AGES OR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES OR LOST SAVINGS. THE PRICE STATED FOR THE PROD-
UCT IS A CONSIDERATION IN LIMITING INFOCUS’ LIABILITY. NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, 
ARISING OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT MAY BE BROUGHT BY PUR-
CHASER MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED. SOME JURISDIC-
TIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL 
DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS LIMITED 
WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, 
DEPENDING ON JURISDICTION.
