WARRANTY AND WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
Zero-X has a limited warranty, whereby Zero-X warrants to you and only to you that this Zero-X gimbal will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of your purchase (unless a longer warranty period is required by law).

The specifics of this Zero-X limited warranty are covered in this manual.
To the extent possible under governing law, other than the above product warranty for the Zero-X Gimbal you understand and agree that the Zero-X services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
Zero-X makes no warranty that the Zero-X product and services will meet your requirements or that use of the Zero-X services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. Nor does Zero-X make any warranty as to the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the Zero-X (including third party content), that any defects in the Zero-X will be corrected or that the Zero-X products or Zero-X services will be compatible with any other specific hardware or service. Further, Zero-X does not warrant that the Zero-X or the Zero-X servers that provide you with data and content are free of viruses or other harmful components.

for the Zero-X, its suppliers disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, regarding the Zero-X services, including any implied warranty of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement of third party rights.
Because some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of implied warranties, the last sentence of this section may not apply to you. Zero-X hereby further expressly disclaims all liability for any claims for service failures that are due to normal product wear, product misuse, abuse, product modification, improper product selection or your non-compliance with all applicable federal, state or local laws.

Other than as permitted by law, Zero-X does not exclude, limit or suspend other rights you have, including those that may arise from the nonconformity of a sales contract.

For our Australian customers: Please note that this warranty is in addition to any statutory rights in Australia in relation to your goods which, pursuant to the Australian Consumer Law, cannot be excluded.

LIMITATIONS OF ZERO-X LIABILITY
Under no circumstances will Zero-X be liable in any way for any content, including, but not limited to, the loss of content, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred in connection with use of or exposure to any content posted, emailed, accessed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via Zero-X.
Zero-X liability for damages, especially for breach of duty or obligation, delay in performance, non-performance, or malperformance shall be precluded, except when these are due to negligent breaches of any significant contractual duty or obligation on the part of Zero-X. Any liability for negligence is limited to direct losses usually and typically foreseeable in such case. Should the claim for damages be based on wilful
or grossly negligent breach of contractual duty or obligation on the part of Zero-X, the preclusion and limitation of liability mentioned in the preceding sentences will not apply. The preceding preclusion and limitation of liability will also not apply to claims for damages arising out of loss of life, bodily injury or health impacts for which Zero-X may be liable, or for non- contractual liability.
Some states and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Additionally, this provision is not intended to limit Zero-X’s liability in the event of Zero-X’s wilful or intentional misconduct.
