Limitation of Liability on Hardware

This limitation of hardware liability is necessary because IDAutomation is a reseller of hardware and does not directly manufacture any hardware devices. The entire limitation of liability (including attorney’s fees, if any) under this policy and/or the limited hardware warranty, if any, is 3 times the original purchase price of the product (excluding any tax, shipping, and additional charges) at the time of purchase from IDAutomation or the authorized affiliate or reseller. This amount should be adequate to redirect any claims to the proper manufacturer, however, it should be understood that all intellectual property claims and all other claims relating to the hardware itself are not directly the responsibility of IDAutomation but rather only the manufacturer.

IDAUTOMATION, OUR RESELLERS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR POTENTIAL PROFITS, LOSS OF SAVINGS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCT OR ANY EQUIPMENT, COST OF CAPITAL, COST OF SUBSTITUTE OR REPLACEMENT PRODUCT, EQUIPMENT, FACILITIES OR SERVICES, DOWNTIME, YOUR TIME, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, ANY THIRD PARTY CLAIMS, AND ANY INJURY TO PROPERTY OR BODILY INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH) TO ANY PERSON, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT OR ARISING FROM BREACH OF THE WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR STRICT LIABILITY, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE, EVEN IF WE OR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATED COMPANIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
