Blackhawk undertakes different commitments for each of these items, as described below.
B. CONDITIONS. A copy of a valid bill of sale, receipt or other proof of purchase from an authorized reseller or distributor containing the date of original purchase must be presented to obtain warranty service. In addition, each Camera must be protected from exposure to direct sunlight and halogen light (which may damage sensors), electric power and current other than as specified by Blackhawk and must be suitably protected when used outdoors or in dusty, humid, or otherwise hostile environments. There is no warranty coverage if these rules are broken.
C. HARDWARE.
a. LIMITED. Blackhawk warrants that Hardware shall be free of defects in design, material, and workmanship for one year from the purchase date, provided the Hardware is operated under the normal operating conditions for which it was designed.

All repaired or replaced Hardware carries a warranty equal to the greater of the remainder of the original warranty or 90 days. Any replaced components shall become Blackhawk’s property.
b. RETURNS. Hardware may be returned only with Blackhawk’s prior approval. All approvals shall reference a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number issued by authorized Blackhawk service personnel. Cameras returned to Blackhawk without a valid RMA number may be refused and returned to the shipper’s address. Cameras or components returned for warranty service must contain dated proof of purchase, be properly packaged to prevent damage, and be delivered to Blackhawk’s facility in Bentonville, Arkansas 72712.
c. TRANSPORTATION COSTS, if any, incurred in returning defective Hardware to Blackhawk shall be paid by Blackhawk. Blackhawk reserves the right to designate shipping method. However, if Blackhawk determines that the item is not defective, or if the dysfunction results from an Uncovered Condition (see below) or not in compliance with Section 6.B, Blackhawk may charge Buyer for transportation costs. Any shipping costs incurred for Hardware returned after the Warranty Period has expired shall be Buyer’s responsibility.
D. SOFTWARE.
The embedded Blackhawk Software incorporated in or accompanying the Camera and any
separate magnetic media on which it may be contained are warranted to perform in substantial
compliance with the specifications contained in the User’s Documentation for 90 days from the purchase date.
