under this warranty in order a) to repair damage caused by work done by any
person not representing iXblue for the installation, repair or maintenance of the
product ; b) to repair damage caused by improper use or connection to
incompatible equipment, and specifically, the opening of the housing of the
equipment under warranty shall cause the warranty to be automatically
cancelled ; c) to maintain any product that has been modified or integrated into

or difficulty of the maintenance of said product.
This warranty covers the product hereunder and is provided by iXblue in place of
all and any other warranty whether expressed or implied. iXblue does not
guarantee the suitability of the product under warranty for sale or any specific
use. iXblue’s liability is limited to the repair or replacement of defective products,
