  2. Installation Limited Warranty: We provide a one-year installation warranty that covers your Goods installed at the original service location purchased from us. This warranty covers the cost-of-service calls and installation labor on eligible systems relating to issues with the hardware installed by AV-Worx; it does not cover the cost of replacement equipment/parts unless those parts are within their 1-year warranty period and still under warranty from the manufacturer. This original warranty is active for a period of one year from the installation date. We charge a Product Warranty Processing Fee of $150 to cover the shipping/handling costs and administration costs of any product returns from 31 days to 365 days from the invoice date. This warranty is non-transferable. This warranty does not cover the cost of service calls on equipment not purchased from us, nor equipment not purchased in conjunction with this warranty. Any appointments missed by the customer in conjunction with this warranty will be subject to service call charges. If it is determined that equipment must be replaced or repaired to return the system to its original operating condition, the replacement equipment/parts are not covered by this warranty and will incur service call and labor charges. Third-party services and troubleshooting of these services are not covered by this warranty including but not limited to: high voltage electrical wiring, cabinetry, and service connections provided by others (such as cable, telephone, internet providers). Equipment failure related to media cabinets not providing adequate ventilation to dissipate the heat of electronic equipment is not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not cover loss of service resulting from misuse, negligence, abuse, accident, alteration, unauthorized repair, improper maintenance, lightning, high winds, overgrowth from trees or other plant life, acts of God, or other similar causes. We do not warranty any parts, but standard manufacturer warranties do apply. If you hire anyone other than AV-Worx to work on the system that AV-Worx installed, it will void the AV-Worx 1-year limited warranty.

  16. Manufacturer Pixel Policies: Please be assured that our suppliers only provide us with their highest quality units available. On occasion, a projector or LED Video wall may have 1 (one) or more "Off" or "Out" pixels, also referred to as "Bad" pixels. It is industry standard to allow for a few "Bad" pixels on an LED, LCD panel or DLP chip. The actual placement and number of "Bad" pixels allowed varies by manufacturer. The issue of "Bad" pixels does not qualify a display, LED, or projector for replacement as a "Defective" or "D.O.A." unit but may be returned to the manufacturer for their evaluation; their decision is final in each of these cases. We apologize for any inconvenience the manufacturer's policies may cause.
  17. International and Wholesale/Resellers (U.S. and International): All sales are final, no returns or credits. AV-Worx may approve an upgrade within seven (7) days to an item of greater value. If approved, the purchaser must receive an RMA# from the AV-Worx Customer Service Team. The purchaser is responsible for all shipping charges and/or duties incurred.
  18. For Items Damaged During Transport: AV-Worx endeavors to use reliable and reputable carriers, but occasionally shipping damage does occur. Resolving the problem of transit damage or loss depends on the cooperation of all parties. All shipping damage claims must be made against the common carrier; therefore, it is imperative that you follow these guidelines:
    1. Inspect all shipments upon arrival. If damage or loss is apparent upon delivery, do not accept the shipment until you make a notation of the damage on all copies of the carrier's pro bill and have the driver sign all copies to acknowledge the notation. Do not sign a clear receipt for damaged or missing cartons or there will be no basis for a claim. Ask the carrier to make a detailed inspection of the damage. File a claim with the carrier. Cooperate and follow up as necessary to secure final settlement.
    2. Even if damages are acknowledged in writing by the driver, you must request an inspection by the carrier and retain the merchandise, carton, and package materials at the address to which shipment was made until the carrier authorizes movement. The carrier must provide you with an inspection report. In the case of concealed damage, the inspection must be requested within three (3) days of receipt of shipment. IF you fail to inspect the shipment within three (3) days and find damage we will be unable to offer a refund. ALL DISPLAYS REQUIRE INSPECTION BY POWERING IT ON WITHIN 3 DAYS TO CONFIRM THERE IS NO DAMAGE.
    3. Please immediately advise AV-Worx of all damages or problems. Do not return merchandise to AV-Worx. File your claim with the carrier, enclosing copies of the bill of lading (signed by the driver) and inspection report as support. Keep all packing materials and boxes with the damaged product. Do not throw anything away. Although AV-Worx will provide any assistance possible, we cannot be responsible for the actual filing of claims on the carrier or accept liability for non-collectable freight claims.
  19. Warranty: "New in Box" merchandise and/or hardware devices include the manufacturer's standard warranty excluding consumable items such as lamps. Manufacturers may include an extended warranty service beyond their standard warranty period on certain items. Manufacturers provide a one (1) year warranty or less (unless specified otherwise on your invoice or packing slip) on non-new, remanufactured or refurbished, B- or C-graded stock items that cover repair only. Non-new, remanufactured or refurbished, B- or C-graded products do not qualify for D.O.A. exchange. These products will be repaired and returned to the purchaser. Please confirm warranty coverage at the time of your purchase. AV-Worx disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. AV-Worx offers no warranties of any kind that extend beyond the description on the face hereof. There is NO WARRANTY COVERAGE for any merchandise sold for normal wear and tear, improper usage, damage from natural disasters, long-term environmental damage, Power events such as surges, power outages, or any power events in general.
  20. Refunds: Established account: A full refund will not be issued if the purchaser's account has an open balance. A credit memo will be issued, and credit will be applied first to the invoice on which the products were purchased, then to any other open invoices on the account, beginning with the oldest invoice. Any credit balance remaining will be refunded as outlined below. Credit card: All refunds for purchases made by credit will be issued as a credit to that same account within a reasonable period after inspection of returned products.
  21. Changes in Pricing:
    1. Promotions: All items offered by AV-Worx are sold at the most current prices available. Due to real-time inventories and daily changes of costs and programs offered by manufacturers, prices and promotions will and do change frequently. AV-Worx is unable to provide any price protection; therefore, we will not refund any price difference on your current or previous orders, and we cannot honor a promotion on a purchase made before the promotion start date.
    2. Price: "All pricing is based on tariffs, duties, taxes, and trade regulations in effect at the time of quotation. A customer’s signature on the quote or submission of a purchase order (PO) constitutes full acceptance of the order, including all terms and conditions. If any changes in tariffs, duties, taxes, or trade regulations result in increased costs to AV-Worx at any point before final invoicing, AV-Worx reserves the right to adjust pricing accordingly. The customer agrees to accept any such price adjustments, which will be reflected in the final invoice. AV-Worx will make reasonable efforts to mitigate cost increases but shall not be liable for absorbing additional expenses caused by external regulatory changes. Orders cannot be canceled, modified, or refunded due to tariff-related price adjustments once accepted."
  22. Law and Venue: AV-Worx invoices shall be governed by the laws of Palm Beach County, Florida.
  23. Enforcement: Failure by AV-Worx to enforce any Purchase Policies does not constitute a waiver of any portion of our Purchase Policies.

Purchaser's exclusive remedy, as against AV-Worx, shall be the repair or replacement of defective parts.
