Non-Applicability of Warranty: The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for hardware
and software of D-Link's products, will not be applied to and does not cover any product
purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-
Link, the sellers, or the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining
to the product and in that case, the product is being sold "As-Is" without any warranty
whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described herein,
notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.
Submitting A Claim: Any claim under this limited warranty must be submitted in writing
before the end of the Warranty Period to an Authorized D-Link Service Office.

The customer must submit as part of the claim a written description of the
Hardware defect or Software nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow D-Link to
confirm the same.
!
The original product owner must obtain a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”)
number from the Authorized D-Link Service Office and, if requested, provide written
proof of purchase of the product (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for
the product) before the warranty service is provided.
!
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

Link will only replace the defective portion of the Product and will not ship back any
accessories.

and shipped to D-Link Systems, Inc., 53 Discovery Drive, Irvine, CA 92618. D-Link
will not be held responsible for any packages that are lost in transit to D-Link. The
repaired or replaced packages will be shipped via UPS Ground or any common
carrier selected by D-Link, with shipping charges prepaid. Expedited shipping is
available if shipping charges are prepaid by the customer.
D-Link may reject or return any product that is not packaged and shipped in strict
compliance with the foregoing requirements, or for which an RMA number is not visible
from the outside of the package. The product owner agrees to pay D-Link’s reasonable
