Relation: The Standard Limited Warranty (Section 1.A) applies in addition to, and does not replace, your statutory rights.

C. Warranty Exclusions (Applies to ALL Regions)

Warranty coverage is VOID if the damage is caused by:

Misuse: Incorrect installation, reverse polarity, or exceeding voltage limits.
Unauthorized Modification: This explicitly includes soldering, cutting pins, modifying the PCB, or flashing unauthorized/beta firmware that "bricks" the device.
Physical Damage: Drops, moisture/water damage, or electrical surges (lightning).
