Canon GPR-7 Drum Unit Limited Warranty
Canon U.S.A., Inc. and Canon Canada, Inc. ("Canon") warrant the Drum Unit incorporated into the imageRUNNER Series product
(the "Product") packaged with this Limited Warranty (the "Drum Unit") to be free from defects in workmanship and materials under
normal use and service, other than exterior defects, such as nicks, scratches, or dents, for a period of 30 days after delivery to the
original purchaser of the Drum Unit or use of it to make 100,000 copies, whichever comes first. If the Drum Unit proves to be
defective within this warranty period, Canon shall, at its sole option, replace it without charge.
Following the expiration of the 30 day warranty period, and continuing for a period of ONE YEAR after delivery to the original
purchaser of the Drum Unit or use of it to make 2,000,000 copies, whichever comes first, Canon shall provide a credit ("Credit") to
the original purchaser toward a replacement Drum Unit if the Drum Unit fails to operate under normal use and service by reason of
any defect in workmanship and materials, other than exterior defects, such as nicks, scratches or dents. The Credit shall be a
percentage of Canon's then current dealer price for the replacement Drum Unit determined as set forth in the example below.
Warranty replacement shall not extend the original warranty period of the Drum Unit.
THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS REGARDING MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
RELATING TO THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE DRUM UNIT. NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, CONDITION OR
GUARANTY, EXCEPT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, GIVEN BY ANY PERSON, FIRM OR CORPORATION WITH RESPECT TO
THE DRUM UNIT SHALL BIND CANON OR ANY SERVICE PROVIDER. NO WARRANTY IS GIVEN ON ANY USED DRUM
UNIT.
This warranty shall be void and of no force and effect if the Drum Unit is damaged as a result of (a) abuse, neglect, mishandling,
or alteration of the Drum Unit, a Product Accessory or a Product in which the Drum Unit is incorporated, electric current
fluctuation, exposure to light, or accident, (b) improper use, including failure to follow operating, maintenance and environmental
conditions prescribed in Canon's operator's manual or other documentation, (c) installation or repair by other than service
representatives qualified by Canon who are acting in accordance with Canon's service bulletins, or (d) use of supplies or parts
(other than those distributed by Canon) which damage the Drum Unit or cause abnormally frequent service calls or service
problems. Nor does this warranty extend to any Drum Unit on which the original identification marks or serial numbers have been
defaced, removed, or altered.
NEITHER CANON NOR ANY SERVICE PROVIDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
(UNLESS CAUSED SOLELY AND DIRECTLY BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF CANON OR ANY SERVICE PROVIDER), LOSS OF
REVENUE OR PROFIT, FAILURE TO REALIZE SAVINGS OR OTHER BENEFITS, EXPENDITURES FOR SUBSTITUTE
EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, STORAGE CHARGES OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE DRUM UNIT, REGARDLESS
OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED AND EVEN IF CANON OR ANY SERVICE PROVIDER HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOR SHALL RECOVERY OF ANY KIND AGAINST CANON OR
ANY SERVICE PROVIDER BE GREATER IN AMOUNT THAN THE PURCAHSE PRICE OF THE DRUM UNIT CAUSING THE
ALLEGED DAMAGE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PURCHASER ASSUMES ALL RISKS AND LIABILITY FOR
LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PERSONS AND PROPERTY OF THE PURCHASER OR OTHERS ARISING OUT OF THE
POSSESSION, USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE ANY DRUM UNIT SOLD BY CANON NOT CAUSED SOLELY AND
DIRECTLY BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF CANON OR ANY SERVICE PROVIDER. THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT EXTEND TO
ANYONE OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE DRUM UNIT AND STATES SUCH PURCHASER'S
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.
CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY
The defective Drum Unit must be returned to Canon, freight prepaid, in the original packaging with all necessary documentation
(machine log, a sample copy, warranty claim tag or other documents as required from time to time) to receive the Credit or
replacement Drum Unit.
EXAMPLE OF CREDIT

Calculation of the Credit may be illustrated by the following example:
Calculation: 2,000,000 - 1,000,000 = 1,000,000 = 50% of the dealer price of the replacement Drum Unit.
