POLICY: USER, OEM, SYSTEM INTEGRATOR, DEALER, AGENTS & WARRANTY
-
System Users:
We sell SYSTEMS and COMPONENTS directly to users. Our agreement can be for one or many
systems. We can supply standard systems, custom systems and components
coupled with development help including design tools. The relationship is
direct as is the warranty relationship. We do not sell through DEALERS but
we do have Integrator/Agent and OEM relationships (see below).
-
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs):
An OEM is our customer using our COMPONENTS in their product line.
We sell directly to OEMs and have a written sales and support agreement
with them. An OEM agreement covers a plurality of components over several
years. OEMs support their sale to their customer (our help is available as
part of the contract). Our warranty extends to the OEM (only indirectly
to their customer). We offer both design and support help to OEMs.
-
System Integrators & Sales Agents:
We sell SYSTEMS through Systems Integrator/Sales Agents (both standard and
custom systems selling components only for replacement). This is a
multi-year relationship. Integrator/Agents are not dealers because they
do not resell our product. Moreover, they add product integration value
combining other related products with ours to form a larger package.
Integrator/Agents are responsible for the after sales support for these
other packaged products; we are responsible for our systems.
Integrator/Agents arrange an introduction to the user and we develop the
final sales terms for our products. In most cases, we invoice the user
directly and pay a commission to the Integrator/Agent based on volume.
The warranty relationship is with the user.

Warranty:
Hampton Technologies, Inc. (HTI) warrants its products to be free of
manufacturing defects for five years after the sale. If an issue should
arise, the customer may be obligated to ship the product back to the
factory for assessment. If, in HTI's sole judgment, the product is
defective, HTI will repair or replace the product and reimburse the
shipping cost. If the product has been damaged by some kind of
mistreatment, the customer and HTI will decide the appropriate solution
together. This warranty does not include liability for consequential
damages of any kind.
