Vicor does not warrant that customer’s own products, which incorporate such Vicor products, will in turn comply with the various RoHS Directives. In all cases, Customer shall remain liable for ensuring its own products meet all requirements of the RoHS Directives, including but not necessarily limited to:

  • Verifying the compatibility with its soldering process.
