EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY ON MEDIA SET FORTH
ABOVE AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SOFTWARE PROVIDED BY LINKSYS
WITH THE PRODUCT, WHETHER FACTORY LOADED ON THE
PRODUCT OR CONTAINED ON MEDIA ACCOMPANYING
THE PRODUCT, IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND. Without limiting the foregoing, Linksys does
not warrant that the operation of the product or software
will be uninterrupted or error free. Also, due to the
continual development of new techniques for intruding
upon and attacking networks, Linksys does not warrant
that the product, software or any equipment, system or
network on which the product or software is used will be
free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack. The product
may include or be bundled with third party software or
service offerings. This limited warranty shall not apply to
such third party software or service offerings. This limited
warranty does not guarantee any continued availability
of a third party’s service for which this product’s use or
operation may require.
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS
OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE LIMITED TO
THE DURATION OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. ALL OTHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES 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
limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights which vary by jurisdiction.
TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE 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, SOFTWARE OR
ANY SERVICES PROVIDED IN RESPECT OF SUCH PRODUCT
OR SOFTWARE, EVEN IF LINKSYS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT
NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, 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 limited
warranty 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.
