Limited Warranty - IPG

Boston Scientific Corporation (referred to as Boston Scientific) warrants to the patient
who receives a Vercise™ Implantable Pulse Generator (referred to as the IPG) that
the IPG will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of five
(5) years from the date of surgical implant of the IPG. This warranty applies only to
the patient who has the IPG implanted and no other person or entity. This warranty
does not apply to the leads, extensions, or surgical accessories used with the IPG.
If the IPG fails to function within normal ranges within five (5) years after the date
it is implanted, Boston Scientific will replace the IPG with a functionally equivalent
IPG made by Boston Scientific. No other relief whatsoever is available under this
limited warranty. The limited warranty for a replacement IPG will last only for five
years from the date of surgical implant of the original IPG. Claims under this limited
warranty are subject to the following additional conditions and limitations:
1. The product registration card must be completed and returned to Boston
Scientific within 30 days of surgery.
2. The IPG must be purchased after January 1, 2005 and implanted before
the "use by" date.
3. Failure of the IPG must be confirmed by Boston Scientific.
4. The IPG must be returned to Boston Scientific (or a Boston Scientific authorized
agent) within 30 days after it fails to function within normal ranges. That IPG
will be the property of Boston Scientific.
5. This limited warranty does not include failures to function within normal ranges
caused by:
(a) fire, floods, lightning, natural disasters, water damage, and other calamities
commonly defined as "Acts of God";
(b) accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, or the customer's failure to operate the
IPG in accordance with manufacturer's instructions;
(c) unauthorized attempts to repair, maintain, or modify the IPG by the patient or
any unauthorized third party; or
(d) attaching equipment to the IPG that is not supplied or expressly authorized by
Boston Scientific.
This limited warranty is the only warranty that applies to the IPG, and Boston
Scientific expressly disclaims any other warranty, express or implied, including
any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Under this
limited warranty, Boston Scientific will be responsible only for replacement of the
IPG with a functionally equivalent IPG made by Boston Scientific and will not be
liable for any damages (whether direct, indirect, consequential, or incidental) caused
by the IPG, whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort or any other theory.
Boston Scientific assumes no liability with respect to instruments reused,
reprocessed or resterilized and makes no warranties, express or implied,
including but not limited to merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose,
with respect to such instruments.
