THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NEITHER EXCLUDE NOR LIMIT (I) ANY
MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS OF THE CLIENT OR (II) ANY OF THE

VERTU warrants that this cellular phone ("Product") is free from defects in material
and workmanship according to the following terms and conditions:
1. The Limited Warranty for the Product extends for TWO (2) years beginning on the

of a change of owner/user, such warranty period shall continue for the remaining
part of the twenty-four (24) month period and otherwise remain unaffected.
2. During the period of the Limited Warranty, Vertu will repair, modify or replace, at
Vertu's sole option, any defective parts, or any parts that will not properly operate
for their intended use with new or refurbished replacement items if such repair or
replacement is needed because of product malfunction or failure during normal
usage. No charge will be made to the Client for the repair or replacement of any
such parts. Vertu will also pay for the labour charges incurred by Vertu in repairing
or replacing the defective parts. The repaired Product will be warranted for the
balance of the original warranty period or for ninety (90) days from the date of
repair, whichever is longer. This Limited Warranty does not cover damage to or
defects in (other than manufacturing defects) appearance, cosmetic, decorative
or structural items and any non-operative parts. Vertu's limit of liability under the

reasonable amount for usage. These remedies are the Client's exclusive
remedies for breach of this Limited Warranty.

or delivery of the Product by producing a legible and non-modified original
certificate of authenticity which clearly indicates the name and address of an
authorised retailer, the date and place of purchase/delivery, the product type and
the IMEI or serial number of the Product, a bill of sale or a dated receipt which
contains the same information.

manufactured and supplied by Vertu or used other than for its intended use.
