Limited Warranty

Hardware:
D-Link warrants each of its hardware products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials
under normal use and service for a period commencing on the date of purchase from D-Link or its
Authorized Reseller and extending for the length of time stipulated by the Authorized Reseller or D-Link
Branch Office nearest to the place of purchase.
This Warranty applies on the condition that the product Registration Card is filled out and returned to a
D-Link office within ninety (90) days of purchase. A list of D-Link offices is provided at the back of this
manual, together with a copy of the Registration Card.
If the product proves defective within the applicable warranty period, D-Link will provide repair or
replacement of the product. D-Link shall have the sole discretion whether to repair or replace, and
replacement product may be new or reconditioned. Replacement product shall be of equivalent or better
specifications, relative to the defective product, but need not be identical. Any product or part repaired
by D-Link pursuant to this warranty shall have a warranty period of not less than 90 days, from date of
such repair, irrespective of any earlier expiration of original warranty period. When D-Link provides
replacement, then the defective product becomes the property of D-Link.
Warranty service may be obtained by contacting a D-Link office within the applicable warranty period,
and requesting a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. If a Registration Card for the product in
question has not been returned to D-Link, then a proof of purchase (such as a copy of the dated purchase
invoice) must be provided. If Purchaser's circumstances require special handling of warranty correction,
then at the time of requesting RMA number, Purchaser may also propose special procedure as may be
suitable to the case.
After an RMA number is issued, the defective product must be packaged securely in the original or other
suitable shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, and the RMA number must be
prominently marked on the outside of the package. The package must be mailed or otherwise shipped to
D-Link with all costs of mailing/shipping/insurance prepaid. D-Link shall never be responsible for any
software, firmware, information, or memory data of Purchaser contained in, stored on, or integrated with
any product returned to D-Link pursuant to this warranty.
Any package returned to D-Link without an RMA number will be rejected and shipped back to Purchaser
at Purchaser's expense, and D-Link reserves the right in such a case to levy a reasonable handling charge
in addition mailing or shipping costs.
Software:
Warranty service for software products may be obtained by contacting a D-Link office within the
applicable warranty period. A list of D-Link offices is provided at the back of this manual, together with a
copy of the Registration Card. If a Registration Card for the product in question has not been returned to
a D-Link office, then a proof of purchase (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice) must be provided
when requesting warranty service. The term "purchase" in this software warranty refers to the purchase
transaction and resulting license to use such software.
