2. A third party/independent operator provides the SIM card and cellular and/or other network or
system on which the Product operates. Therefore, Vertu will not accept responsibility under this
Limited Warranty for the operation, availability, coverage, services or range of the cellular or other
network or system. Before Vertu or a Vertu-authorised service company can repair or replace the
Product, the operator may need to unlock any SIM-lock or other lock that may have been added to
lock the Product to a specific network or operator. In such situations, please first ask the operator to
unlock your Product.
3. This Limited Warranty does not cover: a) normal wear and tear (including, without limitation, wear
and tear of camera lenses, batteries or displays); b) defects caused by rough handling (including,
without limitation, defects caused by sharp items, by bending, compressing or dropping, etc.); c)
defects or damage caused by misuse of the Product, including use that is contrary to the
instructions provided by Vertu (for example, as set out in the Product's user guide), and/or d) other
acts beyond the reasonable control of Vertu.
4. This Limited Warranty does not cover defects or alleged defects caused by the fact that the Product
was used with, or connected to, any product, accessory, software and/or service not
manufactured, or supplied by Vertu, or was used other than for its intended purpose. Defects can
be caused by viruses from your, or from a third party's, unauthorised access to services, other
accounts, computer systems or networks. Such unauthorised access can take place through
hacking, password mining or through a variety of other means.
5. This Limited Warranty does not cover defects caused by the fact that the battery has been short-
circuited, or by the fact that the seals of the battery enclosure or the cells are broken or show
evidence of tampering, or by the fact that the battery has been used in equipment other than that
for which it has been specified. This Limited Warranty is not enforceable if the Product has been
opened, modified or repaired by anyone other than an authorised service centre, if it is repaired
using unauthorised spare parts, or if the Product's serial number, the mobile accessory date code,
or the IMEI number, has been removed, erased, defaced, altered or are illegible in any way. This
shall be determined by the sole discretion of Vertu.
