EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
This Limited Warranty applies only to hardware products manufactured by or for LaCie that can be
identified by the “LaCie” trademark, trade name, or logo affixed to them. The Limited Warranty does
not apply to any non-LaCie hardware products or any software, even if packaged or sold with LaCie
hardware. Manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers, other than LaCie, may provide their own
warranties to the end user purchaser, but LaCie, in so far as permitted by law, provides their
products “as is”. Software distributed by LaCie with or without the LaCie brand name (including, but
not limited to system software) is not covered under this Limited Warranty. Refer to the licensing
agreement accompanying the software for details of your rights with respect to its use.
LaCie does not warrant that the operation of the product will be uninterrupted or error-free. LaCie
is not responsible for damage arising from failure to follow instructions relating to the product's
use. This warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, unless damage has occurred due to a
defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches,
dents and broken plastic on ports; © to damage caused by use with non-LaCie products; (d) to
damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes; (e) to
damage caused by operating the product outside the permitted or intended uses described by LaCie;
(f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is
not a representative of LaCie or a LaCie Authorized Service Provider; (g) to a product or part that has
been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of LaCie; or (h) if
any LaCie serial number on the product has been removed or defaced.
No LaCie dealer, agent, or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition
to this warranty.
Any loss, corruption or destruction of data while using a LaCie drive is the sole responsibility of the
user, and under no circumstances will LaCie be held liable for the recovery or restoration of this
data. To help prevent the loss of your data, LaCie highly recommends that you keep TWO copies of
your data; one copy on your external hard disk, for instance, and a second copy either on your
internal hard disk, another external hard disk or some other form of removable storage media. LaCie
offers a complete line of CD and DVD drives. If you would like more information on backup, please
refer to our website.
LACIE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING
FROM ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS,
DOWNTIME, GOODWILL, DAMAGE TO OR REPLACEMENT OF EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY, AND ANY
COSTS OF RECOVERING, REPROGRAMMING, OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA STORED IN
OR USED WITH LACIE PRODUCTS EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability for incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state.
