Optoma warrants to you that if during the first five years from the date of purchase or 12,000 operational hours of the Projector, whichever comes first (“Warranty Period”) the Projector does not comply with the Warranty, Optoma or an Optoma authorised service company will, in a commercially reasonable time, remedy defects in materials, design and workmanship free of charge by repairing, or should Optoma in its discretion deem it necessary, replacing the Projector in accordance with this Warranty (unless otherwise required by law). This Warranty is only valid and enforceable in the country where you have purchased both the Warranty and the Projector provided that Optoma has intended the Warranty is for sale in that country and applies only to the Warranty distributed by Optoma or its authorised dealers. Optoma will process each valid claim as quickly as practicable within the constraints of their operational procedures. Optoma shall not be held responsible or liable for any loss, financial, consequential or otherwise, howsoever caused due to any delay whatsoever in the supply of a refurbished or replacement Projector under this Warranty.

2. Optoma authorised repair; or
3. Optoma authorised replacement of the Projector
