TDK LIMITED WARRANTY

One Year Limited Warranty for Hardware 
Ninety Day Limited Warranty for TDK Software

TDK Electronics Corporation ("TDK") warrants to the end-user customer that this data storage product, exclusive of software (referred to
herein as "Hardware" or "Product") will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from date of
purchase. If TDK receives notice of any such defects during the warranty period, TDK will, at its option, either repair or replace the Product
which it finds to be defective at no charge (except for shipping and insurance). Repair of defective Product may be with either new or
rebuilt replacement parts that will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. Any exchanged parts under this warranty
will become the property of TDK. Replacement Product may be either new or reconditioned. If the Product is discontinued and no longer
available, then it may be replaced with Product determined by TDK to be of similar value and performance.

TDK warrants to the end-user customer that the TDK-branded software included with the Product (herein referred to as "TDK Software")
when properly installed   and used will not fail to execute its programming instructions due to defects in materials or workmanship for
a period of ninety (90) days from date of purchase. If TDK receives notice of any such defects during the warranty period, TDK will
replace the TDK Software which it finds to be defective at no charge (except for shipping and insurance).

Any software other than TDK Software included with the Product is supplied on an "AS IS" basis and without any representations or
warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for
a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. Please refer to any documentation included with such software for your rights and
obligations with respect to that software.

TDK does not warrant that the operation of the Product will be uninterrupted or error free. This Limited Warranty does not apply to
defects resulting from (1) acts of God, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, abnormal, or unusually heavy use; (2) improper
installation, operation, testing, or maintenance; (3) power failure or connection to improper voltage supply; or (4) attempted repair by
any party other than TDK. This Limited Warranty does not apply when the malfunction results from the use of the Product in conjunction
with other products, software, or accessories, or where it is determined by TDK that there is no fault with the Product itself. 
This Limited Warranty is invalid if the factory applied serial number has been altered or removed from the Product.

This Limited Warranty extends only to the original end-user customer and is not transferable to any subsequent purchaser. This Limited
Warranty is valid only within the United States. For areas outside the United States, contact the authorized dealer from whom you
purchased the Product to determine what warranty, if any, applies.

In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the Product to TDK freight prepaid, in either its original package or packaging
providing a degree of protection equivalent to that of the original packaging, along with proof of purchase. [Please contact TDK at the
number listed below or in the manual for further information.]

TDK MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES APPLY, DESPITE THEIR EXCLUSION UNDER THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY, SUCH WARRANTIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES PROVIDED HEREUNDER.

THE REMEDIES PROVIDED UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. TDK’S LIABILITY UNDER ANY LEGAL
THEORY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE PRODUCT SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE
PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT SHALL TDK BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM USE OF THE PRODUCT.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or any exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have
other rights which vary from state to state.
