Appendix F: Warranty Information

LIMITED WARRANTY

Linksys warrants to You that, for a period of five years (the “Warranty Period”), your Linksys Product will be substantially 
free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Your exclusive remedy and Linksys' entire liability under 
this warranty will be for Linksys at its option to repair or replace the Product or refund Your purchase price less any 
rebates. This limited warranty extends only to the original purchaser. 

If the Product proves defective during the Warranty Period call Linksys Technical Support in order to obtain a Return 
Authorization Number, if applicable. BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE ON HAND WHEN CALLING. If You are 
requested to return the Product, mark the Return Authorization Number clearly on the outside of the package and include a 
copy of your original proof of purchase. RETURN REQUESTS CANNOT BE PROCESSED WITHOUT PROOF OF PURCHASE. You 
are responsible for shipping defective Products to Linksys. Linksys pays for UPS Ground shipping from Linksys back to You 
only. Customers located outside of the United States of America and Canada are responsible for all shipping and handling 
charges. 

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED 
TO THE DURATION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND 
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE DISCLAIMED. Some jurisdictions do not 
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to You. This warranty gives 
You specific legal rights, and You may also have other rights which vary by jurisdiction.

This warranty does not apply if the Product (a) has been altered, except by Linksys, (b) has not been installed, operated, 
repaired, or maintained in accordance with instructions supplied by Linksys, or (c) has been subjected to abnormal 
physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident. In addition, due to the continual development of new 
techniques for intruding upon and attacking networks, Linksys does not warrant that the Product will be free of 
vulnerability to intrusion or attack.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL LINKSYS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST DATA, REVENUE OR PROFIT, 
OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF 
LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT 
(INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE), EVEN IF LINKSYS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT 
WILL LINKSYS’ LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE PRODUCT. The foregoing limitations will apply even if 
any warranty or remedy provided under this Agreement fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the 
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to You.

Please direct all inquiries to: Linksys, P.O. Box 18558, Irvine, CA 92623.
