Lifetime Product Warranty
PSP Products, Inc. (“Manufacturer”) will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace any RSH-50 Surge Protection Device (SPD) that is defective or is damaged by an electrical surge (including those caused by lightning) for the lifetime of the product from the date of installation by the original owner or owner of record of the premises (User) at no cost to the User.
Connected Equipment Warranty
Manufacturer will, at its sole discretion, for a period of 5 years from the date of installation, repair or replace heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment that is damaged as a result of SPD failure during a surge event.

Damage claims must be made within 14 days of the occurrence and the SPD returned to Manufacturer within 30 days of the occurrence with the original purchase receipts of the SPD. Returned SPDs require an RMA number and a completed Warranty Claim Form (contact Warranty Assistance for details), and the SPD must be determined to have failed based on Manufacturer’s test procedures.
This coverage is secondary to any applicable warranties, service contracts and all other insurance. If the claim is found to be valid, Manufacturer will pay up to the deductible amount of the home owners insurance or the cost of the damage, whichever is less, subject to a $5000.00 limit per occurrence. All of the above items must be met in order to have a valid claim.

Except as expressly provided by this warranty, Manufacturer disclaims liability for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages arising out of the sale or use of SPDs (including without limitation: lost business profits, loss of data and all freight, mileage, travel time and insurance charges associated with warranty coverage claims).
