Iomega warrants this hardware product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 
the warranty period. This non-transferable, limited warranty applies only to you, the first end-user 
purchaser. The warranty begins on the date of purchase and lasts for a period of one (1) year for 
products purchased in the Americas, the Asia-Pacific region, or non-European Union nations in 
Europe, the Middle East, or Africa; ninety (90) days for Iomega reconditioned products purchased in 
these regions; or, two (2) years for products purchased by an end-user in member nations of the 
European Union. Customers who register their new products at www.iomegareg.com within 90 days 
of purchase will receive a warranty extension so that their total warranty shall be a period of three 
(3) years in all regions. Reconditioned products are not eligible for a warranty extension. 

Excluded Products and Problems 

This warranty does not apply to: (a) software of Iomega or any affiliates; (b) expendable 
components such as fuses or bulbs; or (c) third party products, hardware or software, distributed by 
Iomega. Iomega makes no warranty of any kind on such products which, if included, are provided 
“AS IS.” This warranty also excludes damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, use of non-Iomega 
approved media or replaceable components, exposure of media to excessive magnetic fields, or 
external environmental causes, or damage arising from any cause or causes for which Iomega is not 
responsible such as exposure to abnormal temperatures, shock, power surges, power outages, 
improper power supply, or damage caused while the product is being shipped from you to Iomega. 

Your Iomega product may contain certain replaceable components such as hard drives or power 
supplies. Refer to your product documentation or contact Iomega to determine whether specific 
components are replaceable. Any alteration, change, modification, or repair (other than 
replacement of a replaceable component) made to the product by a party other than Iomega or 
Iomega’s authorized service provider will void this warranty. 

All Iomega products are manufactured solely to standard commercial grade levels of reliability and 
are not intended for use in any systems that require Iomega products to conform to the higher 
grades of reliability, such as critical safety systems, life-support systems, medical devices, nuclear 
facilities, military devices, satellites, or aviation equipment.  Iomega shall not be liable for any 
damages incurred if Iomega products are used in such capacities, and no warranty shall apply. 

Remedies 

Your sole and exclusive remedy for a covered defect is repair or replacement of the defective 
product, at Iomega's sole option and expense (shipping may be charged), and Iomega may use new or 
refurbished parts or products to do so. If Iomega is unable to repair or replace a defective product, 
your alternate exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the original purchase price. 

The above is Iomega 's entire obligation to you under this warranty. IN NO EVENT SHALL IOMEGA BE 
LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING
