Fortec Communications Inc. warrants all of its products to be free from defects in the workmanship or materials for a period of one year, (one year within the European Union) from the date of purchase by the consumer.  An original invoice is required as proof of the purchase date.  If, at any time during the warranty period, the product has a defect in workmanship or material, Fortec Communications shall repair or replace it (at Fortec Communications' option) within a reasonable period of time.

This warranty does not cover defects or malfunctions caused as a result of software transfers, misuse, abusive operation, tampering, negligence, improper use, insufficient care or any act beyond the control of Fortec Communications.  The opinion of Fortec Communications with respect to this matter shall be final.


WARNING:

When you buy a receiver from us, your receiver will be sent to you with the latest software and firmware available at the time when the unit is manufactured. Fortec Communications Inc. does not support third-party software, and if used, it will void the manufacturer's warranty.

Please note that receiver software is incompatible across various models. If you upload the wrong software and create a problem with the receiver, this will not only void your warranty but may make your receiver inoperable. File transfer errors are entirely the users responsibility and Fortec Communications is not responsible for any problems that may result.

 

To avoid invalidating your warranty as a result of transfering software to your receiver, contact your dealer or distributor to have a factory-trained technician upload software to your receiver. Only official software and upgrades available from the Fortec Star Web site (www.fortecstar.com) can be used with your receiver.  Under no circumstances, should any other software be used with the Fortec receiver.
