1. Overview – Limited Warranty Statement

Forty Two Inc. (“Forty Two,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides limited warranties on eligible purchases to ensure reliable performance and fair remedies if issues arise. Our warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service as outlined here. They do not cover misuse, abuse, unauthorized modifications, normal wear and tear, power anomalies, acts of God, or third-party negligence.

Unless otherwise stated in a signed agreement, warranty terms commence on the earlier of (a) delivery, (b) installation completion, or (c) service completion. Manufacturer warranties (“OEM warranties”) apply to equipment purchased through Forty Two; where applicable, we act as your warranty liaison with the OEM.
