Limited Warranty
Hardware. Cisco Systems, Inc., or the Cisco Systems, Inc. subsidiary selling the Product, if sale is not
directly by Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”) warrants that commencing from the date of delivery to
Customer (but in case of resale by a Cisco reseller, commencing not more than ninety (90) days after
original shipment by Cisco), and continuing for a period of the longer of (a) ninety (90) days or (b)
the period set forth in the Warranty Card accompanying the Product (if any), the Hardware will be
free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use. The date of shipment of a Product
by Cisco is set forth on the packaging material in which the Product is shipped. This limited warranty
extends only to the original user of the Product. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire
liability of Cisco and its suppliers under this limited warranty will be, at Cisco's or its service center's
option, shipment of a replacement within the period and according to the replacement process
described in the Warranty Card, or a refund of the purchase price if the Hardware is returned to the
party supplying it to Customer, if different than Cisco, freight and insurance prepaid. Cisco
replacement parts used in Hardware repair may be new or equivalent to new. Cisco’s obligations
hereunder are conditioned upon the returned of affected articles in accordance with Cisco's or its
service center's then-current Return Material Authorization (RMA) procedures.
Software. Cisco warrants that commencing from the date of delivery to Customer (but in case of resale
by a Cisco reseller, commencing not more than ninety (90) days after original shipment by Cisco), and
continuing for a period of the longer of (a) ninety (90) days or (b) the period set forth in the Warranty
Card accompanying the Product (if any): (a) the media on which the Software is furnished will be free
of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use; and (b) the Software substantially
conforms to its published specifications. Except for the foregoing, the Software is provided AS IS. This
limited warranty extends only to the Customer who is the original licensee. Customer's sole and
exclusive remedy and the entire liability of Cisco and its suppliers under this limited warranty will be,
at Cisco or its service center's option, repair, replacement, or refund of the Software if reported (or,
upon request, returned) to the party supplying the Software to Customer, if different than Cisco. In no
event does Cisco warrant that the Software is error free or that Customer will be able to operate the
Software without problems or interruptions.
In addition, due to the continual development of new techniques for intruding upon and attacking
networks, Cisco does not warrant that the Software or any equipment, system or network on which
the Software is used will be free of vulnerability to intrusion or attack.
