Products
This warranty applies to: (a) All Category 5e-rated, Category 6-rated, Category 6A-rated products manufactured by PLAIT (b) TIA 568-C.2 or the most current Category 6A standard (c) Category 5e-rated, Category 6-rated, and Category 6A-rated horizontal premise cable manufactured by PLAIT and is included in the verifi ed system. PLAIT makes this warranty to support identical assurances and warranties made by PLAIT Master Technicians for all qualifi ed products used in the PLAIT Verifi ed Site Cabling System.

This warranty covers the Verifi ed Site Cabling System(s) from end-to-end that are installed by the original Certifi ed Elite Installer at the original site of installation only; work area outlets, horizontal premise cable, the connecting hardware in the horizontal cross-connect, the equipment cord at the work area, and the patch cord in the horizontal cross-connect. PLAIT will provide system performance warranty provided the Certifi ed Elite Installer purchases and installs PLAIT patch cords. If patch cords from any other manufacturer other than PLAIT are installed, the application assurance warranty is void.

Warranty
PLAIT warrants that all qualifi ed products used at the original site of installation in the Verifi ed Site Cabling System, in normal and proper use, (1) will meet or exceed applicable ANSI/TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC link/channel transmission requirements in effect at the time of the sale (2) will support current or future application ratifi ed by ANSI/TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC which is designed for transmission over a structured cabling system as defi ned by the TIA/EIA standards and PLAIT performance specifi cations in effect at the time of installation (3) are free from defects in material and workmanship.

Installation practices provided or carried out by the Master Technician are warranted by the Certifi ed Elite Installer to be in accordance with the applicable standards, local codes, and requirements of PLAIT’s Master Technician Training Program. PLAIT will, at its own discretion, repair or replace any product that is found to be defective, or, if repair or replacement is not feasible, refund the purchase price of the defective product. This warranty covers the cost for necessary and reasonable labor to remedy a warranty claim if the Certifi ed Elite Installer and the amount to be incurred are pre-approved by PLAIT in advance. It does not cover the additional cost, if any, for any additional labor or products not sold or provided by PLAIT or PLAIT Master Technicians. PLAIT reserves the right to inspect the original installation site and determine the cause of defect or failure to determine if such repair or replacement will be warranted for:

A. Ninety-days (90), or
B. The remainder of the original lifetime warranty period (defi ned as the useable life of the building), whichever is longer.

In those situations where the structured cabling system cannot be repaired to operate as originally intended by PLAIT’s judgment, PLAIT, as the case may be, will refund or credit the customer for a prorated portion of the price paid by the customer for the non-conforming products in the structured cabling system for the balance of the warranty period from the calculated and verifi ed date of the failure. End-user may be subject to expenses associated with invalid warranty claims.

Claims made under this warranty must be reported in writing to PLAIT within ten (10) business days of the discovered failure. This report must include the complete test results identifying the failure, both in hard and soft copy, a current schematic of the site, and a copy of the Lifetime Verifi ed Site Form with vertifi cation number. PLAIT Master Technicians will also provide other information regarding the structured cabling system as requested by PLAIT to facilitate resolution of the claim.

Length of Coverage
This warranty for the original site of installation extends for a period of the life of the installation (defi ned as the useable life of the building) from the date of issuance of the Lifetime Proof of Warranty and no claim may be made under this warranty after the expiration of such period.

Eligibility
This warranty is made by PLAIT to Certifi ed Elite Installers for all qualifi ed products in the Verifi ed Site Cabling System. In order to qualify for this warranty, Certifi ed Elite Installers must provide to PLAIT the installation specifi cations and other information required by PLAIT. After PLAIT has verifi ed that the installation conforms to PLAIT’s requirements, PLAIT will issue the Lifetime Proof of Warranty, thereby recognizing it as an PLAIT Verifi ed Site Cabling System. This warranty is effective from the time PLAIT issues the Lifetime Proof of Warranty. Absent PLAIT Proof of Warranty and strict compliance with PLAIT’s requirements, this warranty is null and void. This warranty may not be assigned to any other party without the express written consent of PLAIT.

Limited Liability
For this warranty to be valid, the PLAIT Verifi ed Site Cabling System must be installed by an PLAIT Master Technician and designed, installed, documented, verifi ed and tested from end-to-end in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC standards documents. Unverifi ed moves, adds, or changes (MAC’s) to the structured cabling system without PLAIT’s approval shall void this warranty and any other portion indirectly impacted by such MAC’s. This warranty is considered non-transferable unless specifi c written approval is provided by PLAIT. PLAIT will not be responsible for any other manufacturers products, and other manufacturers will not in any way be responsible for any of PLAIT’s products.

This warranty does not cover:
1. Defects or non-compliance in the design or installation of the structured cabling system, which may result from failure to comply with PLAIT’s design guidelines and/or improper installation procedures. 2. Product failure resulting from circumstances beyond PLAIT’s control, including but not limited to, accidents, modifi cations, unauthorized repair, misuse, fi re, fl ood, Acts of God and use outside the United States of America. 3. Any active network equipment, public network interfaces, and terminal equipment of the end-user’s system. 4. Products not specifi cally designated as being eligible for structured cabling system Link/Channel. This warranty shall not apply if the Verifi ed Site Cabling System: 1. Contains products not supplied directly by the Manufacturer(s) or through channels approved by the Manufacturer(s). 2. Contains products used in the Verifi ed Site Cabling System Link/Channel, which were falsely represented as being in compliance with the System Link/Channel Warranty verifi cation requirements and procedures. 3. Has been subject to abuse, neglect, accident or misuse, modifi cation, uses other than ordinary use, or any other cause beyond PLAIT’s control. 4. Has been installed other than by an PLAIT Master Technician in good standing at the time of installation; 5. Has been repaired, altered, or rewired other than by an PLAIT Master Technician. 6. Has been improperly constructed or installed (including without limitation contrary to the standards in effect at the time of installation).
