SHARP ELECTRONICS CORPORATION warrants to the first consumer purchaser that this Sharp brand
product  (the “Product”), when shipped in its original container, will be free from defective workmanship
and materials, and agrees that it will, at its option, either repair the defect or replace the defective Product
or part thereof with a new or remanufactured equivalent at no charge to the purchaser for parts or labor for
the period(s) set forth below.

This warranty does not apply to any appearance items of the Product nor to the additional excluded item(s)
set forth below nor to any Product the exterior of which has been damaged or defaced, which has been
subjected to misuse, abnormal service or handling, or which has been altered or modified in design or
construction.

In order to enforce the rights under this limited warranty, the purchaser should follow the steps set forth
below and provide proof of purchase to the servicer.

The limited warranty described herein is in addition to whatever implied warranties may be granted
to purchasers by law. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR USE ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD(S) FROM THE DATE OF
PURCHASE SET FORTH BELOW. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

Neither the sales personnel of the seller nor any other person is authorized to make any warranties other
than those described herein, or to extend the duration of any warranties beyond the time period described
above on behalf of Sharp.

The warranties described herein shall be the sole and exclusive warranties granted by Sharp and shall be
the sole and exclusive remedy available to the purchaser. Correction of defects, in the manner and for the
period of time described herein, shall constitute complete fulfillment of all liabilities and responsibilities of
Sharp to the purchaser with respect to the Product, and shall constitute full satisfaction of all claims,
whether based on contract, negligence, strict liability or otherwise. In no event shall Sharp be liable, or in
any way responsible, for any damages or defects in the Product which were caused by repairs or at-
tempted repairs performed by anyone other than an authorized servicer. Nor shall Sharp be liable or in any
way responsible for any incidental  or consequential economic or property damage. Some states do not
allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
