Advance Replacement
is provided for ninety (90) days, after which time it may be available for a specified fee. 3Com
will make commercially reasonable efforts to ship the replacement product not later than five (5) business days after
receiving the request for advance replacement, but may be delayed due to product availability or export or import
procedures. The shipment of advance replacement products is subject to local legal requirements and may not be
available in all locations. When an advance replacement is provided and Customer fails to return the original product
to 3Com within fifteen (15) days after shipment of the replacement, 3Com will charge Customer for the
replacement, at list price. This advance replacement is different from the fee-based Advance Hardware Replacement
Service, which is available as a contracted service offering.
