One Year Limited Warranty and
Replacement Service (USA only)
by Brother in its sole discretion. Brother reserves the right to supply a
refurbished or remanufactured replacement Machine and/or accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished parts provided such
replacement products conform to the manufacturer's specifications for new
product/parts. The repaired or replacement Machine and/or accompanying
Consumable and Accessory Items will be returned to you freight prepaid or
made available for you to pick up at a conveniently located Authorized
Service Center.
If the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items are
not covered by this warranty (either stage), you will be charged for shipping
the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items back
to you and charged for any service and/or replacement parts/products at
Brother's then current published rates.
The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under
this warranty.
What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine:
When a replacement Machine is authorized by Brother, and you have
delivered the Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized
Service Center will provide you with a replacement Machine after receiving
one from Brother. If you are dealing directly with Brother, Brother will send
to you a replacement Machine with the understanding that you will, after
receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the required proof of purchase
information, together with the Machine that Brother agreed to replace. You
are then expected to pack the Machine that Brother agreed to replace in the
package from the replacement Machine and return it to Brother using the
pre-paid freight bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions
provided by Brother. Since you will be in possession of two machines,
Brother will require that you provide a valid major credit card number.
Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account number that you
provide until Brother receives your original Product and determines that your
original Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be
charged up to the cost of a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your
original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the problems
with your original Product are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the
proper packaging instructions are not followed and has caused damage to
the product; or (iv) the warranty period on your original Product has expired
or has not been sufficiently validated with a copy of the proof of purchase (bill
of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or
remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty
period remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days.
You will keep the replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original
Machine shall become the property of Brother.
Retain your original
Accessory Items and a copy of the return freight bill, signed by the
courier.
