required, at its option Wraith Systems will:

which has been manufactured from new or
serviceable used parts.
The tech refresh program will cover new firmware,

resulting HOTAS will retain only the balance of the
extended warranty period that commenced from
the purchase date of extended warranty.

provided with the attached table.
Market Research
Market research has been completed; however, this maintenance is being acquired by Sole Source as Wraith Systems is the only manufacturer able to fulfill this requirement.
