a. Return authorization shall be received from the Emcore Corporation Sales Department
prior to returning any device. Advise the Emcore Corporation Sales Department of the
model, serial number, and the discrepancy. The device shall then be forwarded to Emcore
Corporation, transportation prepaid. Devices returned freight collect or without
authorization may not be accepted.
b. Prior to repair, Emcore Corporation Sales will advise the customer of Emcore Corporation
test results and will advise the customer of any charges for repair (usually for customer
caused problems or out-of-warranty conditions).
If returned devices meet full specifications and do not require repair, or if non-warranty
repairs are not authorized by the customer, the device may be subject to a standard
evaluation charge. Customer approval for the repair and any associated costs will be the
authority to begin the repair at Emcore Corporation. Customer approval is also necessary
for any removal of certain parts, such as connectors, which may be necessary for Emcore
Corporation testing or repair.
c. Repaired products are warranted for the balance of the original warranty period, or at least
90 days from date of shipment.
3. Limitations of Liabilities
Emcore Corporation's liability on any claim of any kind, including negligence, for any loss or
damage arising from, connected with, or resulting from the purchase order, contract, or quotation,
or from the performance or breach thereof, or from the design, manufacture, sale, delivery,
installation, inspection, operation or use of any equipment covered by or furnished under this
contract, shall in no case exceed the purchase price of the device which gives rise to the claim.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, EMCORE CORPORATION MAKES NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY GOODS, PARTS AND SERVICES
PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
EMCORE CORPORATION SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGE INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH FURNISHING OF GOODS, PARTS AND SERVICE HEREUNDER, OR THE
PERFORMANCE, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE THE GOODS, PARTS AND SERVICE.
Emcore Corporation will not be responsible for loss of output or reduced output of opto-electronic
devices if the customer performs chip mounting, ribbon bonding, wire bonding, fiber coupling, fiber
connectorization, or similar operations. These processes are critical and may damage the device or
may affect the device's output or the fiber output.
Emcore Corporation test reports or data indicating mean-time-to-failure, mean-time-between-failure,
or other reliability data are design guides and are not intended to imply that individual products or
samples of products will achieve the same results. These numbers are to be used as management
and engineering tools, and are not necessarily indicative of expected field operation. These
numbers assume a mature design, good parts, and no degradation of reliability due to
manufacturing procedures and processes.
Emcore Corporation is not liable for normal laser output degradation or fiber coupling efficiency
degradation over the life of the device.
