Warranty Policy

This Warranty Policy sets out the terms and conditions under which Cobra Systems provides warranty coverage for its certain products. The purpose of this policy is to clearly define the scope of coverage, the obligations of Cobra Systems, and the responsibilities of customers when making a warranty claim. This document is a binding legal policy and must be followed by both Cobra Systems and the customer. It replaces any prior warranty statements or representations, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Cobra Systems.

Any changes to the Warranty Policy will apply prospectively to Products purchased after the effective date of the change, unless otherwise required by law.
  1. NON-TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY: This Warranty is valid only for the original purchaser of the Product and cannot be assigned, sold, or transferred to any subsequent owner, user, or third party. Warranty coverage automatically terminates upon the sale, transfer, lease, or other disposition of the Product by the original purchaser. Any attempt to transfer or assign this Warranty will render it null and void, and Cobra Systems will have no obligation to honor claims made by anyone other than the original purchaser.
  1. DISCLAIMER OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Cobra Systems disclaims all implied warranties, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. No oral or written information, advice, or representation provided by Cobra Systems, its employees, distributors, or resellers will create any warranty not expressly stated in this Warranty Policy. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on the duration of implied warranties, so the above limitation may not apply in certain cases. In such jurisdictions, any implied warranties are strictly limited in duration to the period of the express warranties set forth in this Warranty Policy.
  1. FORCE MAJEURE: Cobra Systems is not responsible for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Warranty Policy where such failure or delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control. These events include, but are not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic, pandemic, explosion, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, power outages, supply chain disruptions, or shortages of materials. Force majeure applies to all obligations under this Warranty Policy, including without limitation claim submission timelines, inspection, repair or replacement obligations, and remedy performance. During the continuation of a force majeure event, Cobra Systems’ obligations under this Warranty are suspended, and all applicable deadlines are extended for the duration of the disruption. If the force majeure event continues for an extended period, Cobra Systems may, at its discretion, cancel or modify its obligations without liability, except for refunds or remedies required by applicable law.
  1. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Cobra Systems’ total liability under this Warranty Policy will not exceed, in the aggregate, the purchase price actually paid by the Customer for the specific Product giving rise to the claim. Cobra Systems is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of business, loss of data, loss of goodwill, downtime, or damage to other property, even if Cobra Systems has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Cobra Systems is not responsible for damages caused by the use of third-party products, accessories, or media, or by delays or failures outside its reasonable control. No representative, distributor, or reseller is authorized to expand or modify this limitation of liability in any way. These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory of liability and continue to apply even if any remedy under this Warranty fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, and in such cases Cobra Systems’ liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

    7. Location and Language: Arbitration must take place in Orange County, California, unless the parties agree otherwise, and must be conducted in English.

Entire Agreement: This Warranty Policy constitutes the entire agreement between Cobra Systems and the Customer regarding warranty coverage for the Products and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral statements, representations, or agreements relating to the same subject matter.
    7. Waiver: Failure by Cobra Systems to enforce any provision of this Warranty Policy will not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce that provision or any other provision at a later time.
    8. Acknowledgement by Customer: By purchasing or using a Cobra Systems Product, the Customer acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Warranty Policy.
