Limited Warranty
Hardware:
D-Link warrants each of its hardware products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials under normal use and service for
a period commencing on the date of purchase from D-Link or its Authorized Reseller and extending for the length of time stipulated by
the Authorized Reseller or D-Link Branch Office nearest to the place of purchase.
This Warranty applies on the condition that the product Registration Card is filled out and returned to a D-Link office within ninety
(90) days of purchase. A list of D-Link offices is provided at the back of this manual, together with a copy of the Registration Card.
If the product proves defective within the applicable warranty period, D-Link will provide repair or replacement of the product. D-Link
shall have the sole discretion whether to repair or replace, and replacement product may be new or reconditioned. Replacement
product shall be of equivalent or better specifications, relative to the defective product, but need not be identical. Any product or part
repaired by D-Link pursuant to this warranty shall have a warranty period of not less than 90 days, from date of such repair,
irrespective of any earlier expiration of original warranty period. When D-Link provides replacement, then the defective product
becomes the property of D-Link.
Warranty service may be obtained by contacting a D-Link office within the applicable warranty period, and requesting a Return
Material Authorization (RMA) number. If a Registration Card for the product in question has not been returned to D-Link, then a
proof of purchase (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice) must be provided. If Purchaser's circumstances require special
handling of warranty correction, then at the time of requesting RMA number, Purchaser may also propose special procedure as may be
suitable to the case.
After an RMA number is issued, the defective product must be packaged securely in the original or other suitable shipping package to
ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, and the RMA number must be prominently marked on the outside of the package. The
package must be mailed or otherwise shipped to D-Link with all costs of mailing/shipping/insurance prepaid. D-Link shall never be
responsible for any software, firmware, information, or memory data of Purchaser contained in, stored on, or integrated with any
product returned to D-Link pursuant to this warranty.
Any package returned to D-Link without an RMA number will be rejected and shipped back to Purchaser at Purchaser's expense, and
D-Link reserves the right in such a case to levy a reasonable handling charge in addition mailing or shipping costs.
Software:
Warranty service for software products may be obtained by contacting a D-Link office within the applicable warranty period. A list of
D-Link offices is provided at the back of this manual, together with a copy of the Registration Card. If a Registration Card for the
product in question has not been returned to a D-Link office, then a proof of purchase (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice)
must be provided when requesting warranty service. The term "purchase" in this software warranty refers to the purchase transaction
and resulting license to use such software.
D-Link warrants that its software products will perform in substantial conformance with the applicable product documentation
provided by D-Link with such software product, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase from D-Link or its Authorized
Reseller. D-Link warrants the magnetic media, on which D-Link provides its software product, against failure during the same
warranty period. This warranty applies to purchased software, and to replacement software provided by D-Link pursuant to this
warranty, but shall not apply to any update or replacement which may be provided for download via the Internet, or to any update
which may otherwise be provided free of charge.
D-Link's sole obligation under this software warranty shall be to replace any defective software product with product which substantially conforms to
D-Link's applicable product documentation. Purchaser assumes responsibility for the selection of appropriate application and system/platform software and
associated reference materials. D-Link makes no warranty that its software products will work in combination with any hardware, or any application or
system/platform software product provided by any third party, excepting only such products as are expressly represented, in D-Link's applicable product
documentation as being compatible. D-Link's obligation under this warranty shall be a reasonable effort to provide compatibility, but D-Link shall have no
obligation to provide compatibility when there is fault in the third-party hardware or software. D-Link makes no warranty that operation of its software
products will be uninterrupted or absolutely error-free, and no warranty that all defects in the software product, within or without the scope of D-Link's
applicable product documentation, will be corrected.
