Away Battery Warranty Information
Away Electronics Two Year Limited Warranty
The battery in your Away luggage is covered by a two year limited warranty. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary by state, province, or country.
A. Products Covered by this Limited Warranty
This limited warranty extends to batteries manufactured by JRSK, Inc. (“Away”) and purchased directly from Away or Away’s authorized retailers, including any cables or adapters sold or packaged with the batteries (collectively, the “Batteries”). The Battery is designed to be used in Luggage for travel by air, car, train, boat, and foot. This Warranty does not cover your Battery if you use it in a manner incompatible with that intended design.
B. Who this Warranty Extends To
This limited warranty extends to the original purchaser of any Battery (whether the Battery is contained within Luggage or sold separately) or, in the case of a gift, the original recipient of the Battery. The “original purchaser,” for the purposes of this warranty, is the first purchaser of the Battery from Away or an Away authorized retailer. The “original recipient” for purposes of this warranty, is the first recipient of the Battery purchased as a gift from Away or an Away authorized retailer. All Away warranties, including any implied warranties, are valid only for the period of time the Battery is owned by the original purchaser/ recipient of the Battery. A COPY OF THE PURCHASE RECEIPT IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WARRANTY APPLICABILITY.
All Away limited warranties are not transferable and are not applicable to Batteries used for commercial or rental purposes, whether as stand-alone items or contained in Luggage used for such purposes.
C. Away's Limited Warranty and Responsibilities
Away warrants the Battery in its original packaging sold to you against the defects in material and workmanship set forth below (“Defects”) for a period of two years from the time your Luggage is purchased by you, whether the Battery is contained within Luggage or sold separately, only if the Battery and Luggage (if applicable) are used normally for its intended purposes.
D. What this Limited Warranty Covers
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY APPLIES TO THE FOLLOWING DEFECTS:
- The battery no longer holding a charge
- The battery no longer charging compatible devices
This limited lifetime warranty does not cover the following:
- Perceived “slowness” of charging
- Cosmetic Damage to the Battery
- Battery functionality if Battery is charged using an adapter or cord that is not provided by Away
- Battery functionality if the Battery or Luggage (if applicable) is abused beyond the normal wear and tear expected of carry-on luggage or if either of them are used other than for the intended purposes set forth above
In the event of a Defect, Away’s sole and exclusive liability and your sole remedy under this limited warranty will be, at Away’s option, to provide a repaired or replacement Battery, subject to your fulfillment of “Your Responsibilities” below. Replacement Batteries may be provided in a color different from any Defective Battery use.
E. Your Responsibilities
In the event of a Defect and in order to get the benefit of this limited warranty, you must return your Battery to Away and provide Away with proof of the original date of purchase. Should shipping costs be required to return your Battery, you will not be responsible for those costs. Evidence of a Defect and any claims must be sent to the address set forth at the end of this limited warranty.
Away will repair or replace (as applicable) and ship your Battery to you within 90 days of receiving your original Battery. You will not be responsible for any shipping costs associated with shipping replaced or repaired Battery.
Replaced or repaired Batteries are subject to the same limited warranty as the original Battery (whether the Battery is contained within Luggage or sold separately). For example, if you obtain a replaced or repaired Battery, then the warranty term of the replaced or repaired Battery begins from the date of purchase of the original Battery (whether the Battery is contained within Luggage or sold separately).
F. Disclaimer, Limitation on Liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BATTERY IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND THIS WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
SOME STATES OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, IN NO EVENT WILL AWAY OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE BATTERY OR ITS USE BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER UNDER THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), INDEMNITY, PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IF AWAY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. AWAY’S TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID FOR THE BATTERY OR LUGGAGE GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
G. Arbitration
G1. In the event a dispute arises between you and Away arising out of this Limited Warranty (“Dispute”), such Dispute will be determined and settled solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Away agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Limited Warranty, and that you and Away are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
G2. As limited exceptions to Section G1 above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.
G3. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Limited Warranty. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
G4. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
G5. YOU AND AWAY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration section shall be null and void.
G6. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section G5 of this Limited Warranty ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this Limited Warranty is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of Limited Warranty will still apply.
G7. You must seek arbitration for disputes arising out of this Limited Warranty prior to exercising any rights or seeking any remedies created by the Title I of the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act.
H. Governing Law and Forum Choice
This Limited Warranty and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section G “Arbitration” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes that you and Away are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the State of New York, and you and Away each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
