Our warranty covers mechanical defects and performance related issues for all current and immediate past generation products if not found to be a result of neglect. Products older than this may continue to have limited coverage and/or repair availability, however we cannot guarantee original parts or replacements for products outside of the current and most recent past generation. You can complete your form here.

Connected Equipment Warranty

During the warranty period applicable to a Transparent surge protection device for connected equipment (2 years from date of purchase extendable to 5 years upon registration) Transparent will pay to repair or, at its option, pay the fair market value of equipment damaged by an AC power surge or lightning surge on the AC power line, on the following terms and conditions:

• The connected equipment must be used and connected to the Transparent surge protection device in accordance with the instructions and warranty provisions applicable to the connected equipment, including proper grounding. This includes having all potential surge pathways connected through the Transparent surge protection product. Please contact Transparent to determine what surge pathways exist in your system.
• The connected equipment must be connected in accordance with the instructions provided with the Transparent surge protection device.
• This warranty is for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Transparent surge protection device for non-commercial use only and is non-transferable.
• This warranty is secondary to any manufacturer’s warranty on the connected equipment and/or any service contract or insurance maintained by the customer that covers the loss in whole or in part.
• Transparent shall, in its sole discretion, determine from the condition of the surge protector and the damaged equipment that the damage was caused by a failure of the Transparent surge protector to properly function within its design specifications.

This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, including implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. This warranty does not cover consequential damages, including loss of computer data.
