LaCie warrants your PCI card against any defect in material and workmanship,
under normal use, for the period designated on your warranty certificate. In
the event this product is found to be defective within the warranty period,
LaCie will, at its option, repair or replace the defective PCI card.

This warranty is void if:
• The card was operated/stored in abnormal use or maintenance conditions;

alteration is expressly authorized in writing by LaCie;
• The card was subjected to abuse, neglect, lightning strike, electrical fault,
improper packaging or accident;
• The card was installed improperly;
• The serial number of the card is defaced or missing;

LaCie will not, under any circumstances, be liable for direct, special or
consequential damages such as, but not limited to, damage or loss of property
or equipment, loss of profits or revenues, cost of replacement goods, or
expense or inconvenience caused by service interruptions.

Under no circumstances will any person be entitled to any sum greater than
the purchase price paid for the card.

To obtain warranty service, call LaCie Technical Support. You may be asked to
furnish proof of purchase to confirm that the card is still under warranty.

All cards returned to LaCie must be securely packaged in their original box
and shipped with postage prepaid.
