here's exactly what the warranty says:

		Lifetime Warranty

     Panamax warrants that our surge protectors will be free from defects in
material and workmanship.  Panamax will repair OR replace products that have
suffered damage from catastrophic transient surges.

end quote...

Panamax may be reached directly at 800-472-6262.  They also have a fax line 
at 415-472-5540.  Their address is:

	Panamax
	150 Mitchell Blvd.
	San Rafael, CA 94903-2057

And as everyone says, I am in no way associated with Panamax except for being
a satisfied customer.  (Too bad I didn't get one before my computer got hit
by a surge.  heh.)
