the product fails or is damaged as a result of improper storage, operation under abnormal conditions, misuse, neglect, abuse, accident or maladjustment of consumer controls. Short circuiting the equipment will be considered misuse and will cause the product not to be covered by warranty.

Where parts are referred to the manufacturer for repair or replacement, Pongobyte has no control over the processing time of the manufacturer or the turnaround time (unless you purchased an Extended Warranty in which case clause 11 applies).
Without limiting the above, some components used to build the Pongobyte Branded Goods carry manufacturers' warranty, Pongobyte will assist customers to make claims based on the manufacturers’ warranties, once the Extended Warranty has expired.
Pongobyte reserves the right under this clause, to use its sole discretion when repairing a system covered by Extended Warranty with respect to parts being new or refurbished, and where Pongobyte cannot source the same part or brand, they will use a different part or brand of a similar or better performance.
