You are only covered if the disturbance entered through the AC lines.
Damage caused by voltage spikes lasting longer than 1ms. The
Product was designed to eliminate disrupting and damaging effects of momentary (less than 1ms) voltage spikes or impulses from lightning or other power transients. If it can be shown that a voltage spike lasting longer than 1ms has occurred, the Occurrence will be deemed outside the rated capabilities of the Product and the Limited Warranty is void.
Damage following any alternation, modification, or tampering with the Product.
Damage when the Product was not installed or used in accordance with the user manual.
Damage when the Product is used contrary to any instructions provided with the Product, or for any unintended or prohibited use.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CYBERPOWER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER FOR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF PROPERTY (EXCEPT AND ONLY FOR THE SPECIFIC CONNECTED EQUIPMENT WARRANTY DESCRIBED HEREIN), FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE TO BUSINESS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR DATA, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES OR GOODWILL. CYBERPOWER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY UNDER THIS WARRANTY. THESE EXCLUSIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF CAUSE, WHETHER ARISING UNDER BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH. THE PREVAILING PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THEIR COSTS, DISBURSEMENTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THE WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRODUCT.

Some States or Provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or forum selection clauses, so those limitations may not apply to you. This Warranty gives youspecific legal rights and you may have other rights, which vary from State to State or Province to Province. Additionally, State or Provincial law may adjust the terms of the Warranty or the State or Province may impose additional obligations, or additional “implied warranties.” To the extent necessary to comply with those laws, the terms of this Warranty should be read to adjust to those requirements only to the extent necessary to comply with such local law. Where any term of this Warranty is prohibited by such laws, that term shall be null and void, but the remainder of the Limited Warranty shall remain in full force and effect.

This Warranty is governed by and shall be interpreted under the laws of the United States and the State of Minnesota, without reference to conflict of law principles. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall notapply. Unless prohibited by law, any action to enforce the terms of this Warranty or for any other claim you may have associated with the product, shall be brought in the State or Federal Court serving Scott County, State of Minnesota, United States of America and the parties expressly consent to jurisdiction in that venue. However, before bringing a claim for a breach of a warranty, a claimant shall pursue an Warranty Claim with CyberPower as set forth in this Warranty. Thereafter, the parties shall resolve their dispute by binding arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. Hearings will take place pursuant to the standard procedures of the Consumer Arbitration Rules that contemplate in person hearings.

The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator shall not award consequential damages in any arbitration initiated under this section. Any award in an arbitration initiated under this clause shall be limited to monetary damages and shall include no injunction or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrator’s and administrative fees of arbitration. The award of the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. The parties agree that failure or refusal of a party to pay its required share of the deposits for arbitrator compensation or administrative charges shall constitute a waiver by that party to present evidence or cross-examine witness. In such event, the other party shall be required to present evidence and legal argument as the arbitrator may require for the making of an award. Such waiver shall not allow for a default judgment against the non-paying party in the absence of evidence presented as provided for above.
