Limited Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link products described below will be free from material defects in
workmanship and materials from the date of original retail purchase of the product, for the period set forth below applicable to the product type
( "Warranty Period"), except as otherwise stated herein.

(excluding power supplies and fans)
•
Power Supplies and Fans Three (3) Year
•
Spare parts and spare kits Ninety (90) days
D-Link's sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no charge to the original owner or to refund
at D-Link's sole discretion. Such repair or replacement will be rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement Hardware
need not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may in its sole discretion replace the defective Hardware (or any part thereof) with
any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware.
Repaired or replacement Hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period from the date of original retail purchase. If a
material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to repair or replace the defective Hardware,
the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All
Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of D-Link upon
r eplacement or refund.
Limited Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product ("Software") will substantially conform to D-Link's then current
functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a
period of ninety (90) days ("Warranty Period"), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and operated as contemplated
in its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free
of physical defects. D-Link's sole obligation shall be to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially
conforms to D-Link's functional specifications for the Software or to refund at D-Link's sole discretion. Except as otherwise agreed by D-Link in writing,
the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the
Software. Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period from the date or original retail purchase. If a material non-
conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the
price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all
c opies thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates.
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 refurbished product and 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.
