WARRANTY

Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) warrants to you, the original purchaser of the Game, 
that this Game will perform substantially as described in the accompanying manual for a 
period of 90 days from the date of fi rst purchase. If you discover a problem with the Game 
covered by this warranty within the 90 day period, your retailer will repair or replace the

RETURNS WITHIN 90 DAY PERIOD

Warranty claims should be made to your retailer. Return the Game to your retailer along 
with a copy of the original sales receipt and an explanation of the diffi culty you are 
experiencing with the Game. At its option, the retailer will either repair or replace the Game. 
Any replacement Game will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period 
or 30 days from receipt, whichever is longer. If for any reason the Game cannot be repaired 
or replaced, you will be entitled to receive your direct (but no other) damages incurred 
in reasonable reliance but only up to the amount of the price you paid for the Game. The 
foregoing (repair, replacement or limited damages) is your exclusive remedy.

FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations
