(c) or resulting from modification of the surge protector. After any repair or modification of the surge protector by a facility not authorized by Philips, any problems that arise will not be remedied under this warranty.

This warranty does not cover (a) damages caused by acts of God, including flood, erosion, or earthquake, but excluding lightning on products with Power Blocker™ technology; (b) damages caused by a sustained low voltage situation, or a low voltage disturbance, including brownouts, sags, or power outages; (c) damages caused by war, vandalism, theft, normal use wear-and-tear, depletion, obsolescence, abnormal care or uses, or abuse; (d) damage due to non-authorized program or system equipment modification or alteration; or (e) damage to equipment that was not directly connected to the surge protector at the time of the Occurrence.

(Such devices are normally added during telephone line installation.) If you fail to connect the telephone line protection properly, your connected equipment will not be covered by the Connected Equipment Warranty.

Philips will determine, at its sole discretion, whether consumer should send the damaged equipment and the surge protector to Philips, or to an independent repair facility.

Philips also reserves the right to examine the site where the damage occurred.
