exhibits a defect in materials or workmanship within the first forty-eight (48) hours of
installation but no later than thirty (30) days after the date of purchase, and this is
verified by 3Com, it will be considered dead- or defective-on-arrival (DOA) and a

the DOA product, but may be delayed due to export or import procedures. The

available for a specified fee. 3Com will make commercially reasonable efforts to ship the
replacement product not later than five (5) business days after receiving the request for
