• This limited warranty ("warranty") is given only to the original end-user/retail purchaser (referred
to in this warranty as "Original Purchaser") of the accompanying product, consumables and
accessories (collectively referred to in this warranty as "this Product").
• If you purchased a product from someone other than an authorized Brother reseller in
the United States or if the product was used (including but not limited to floor models
or refurbished product), prior to your purchase you are not the Original Purchaser and
the product that you purchased is not covered by this warranty.
What is covered:
• The machine includes a Machine and may include Consumable and Accessory Items.
Consumable and Accessory Items include but are not limited to label cassettes,
cutters, stamps, power adapters, cases and batteries.
• Except as otherwise provided herein, Brother warrants that the Machine and the
accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be free from defects in materials
and workmanship, when used under normal conditions.
• This warranty applies only to products purchased and used in the United States. For
products purchased in, but used outside, the United States, this warranty covers only
warranty service within the United States (and does not include shipping outside the
United States).
What is the length of the Warranty Periods:
• Machines: two years from the original purchase date.
• Accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items: 90 days from the original purchase
date or the rated life of consumable, whichever comes first.
What is NOT covered:
This warranty does not cover:
(1) Physical damage to the machine;
(2) Damage caused by improper installation, improper or abnormal use, misuse, neglect or
accident (including but not limited to transporting the machine without the proper
preparation and/or packaging);
(3) Damage caused by another device or software used with the machine (including but not
limited to damage resulting from use of non Brother
Accessory Items);
(4) Consumable and Accessory Items that expired in accordance with a rated life; and,
(5) Problems arising from other than defects in materials or workmanship.
This limited warranty is VOID if the machine has been altered or modified in any way
(including but not limited to attempted warranty repair without authorization from
Brother and/or alteration/removal of the serial number).
What to do if you think your Product is eligible for warranty service:
Report your issue to our P-touch Customer Service Hotline at 1-877-BROTHER (1877-276-8437) or to a Brother Authorized Service Center within the applicable war-
ranty period. Supply Brother or the Brother Authorized Service Center with a copy of
your dated bill of sale showing that the machine was purchased within the U.S. For the
name of local Brother Authorized Service Center(s), call 1-877-BROTHER (1-877-276-
8437).
What Brother will ask you to do:
After contacting Brother or a Brother Authorized Service Center, you may be required
to deliver (by hand if you prefer) or send the Product properly packaged, freight prepaid, to the Authorized Service Center together with a photocopy of your bill of sale.
You are responsible for the cost of shipping, packing product, and insurance (if
you desire). You are also responsible for loss or damage to the machine in shipping.

-brand parts and Consumable and
What Brother will do:
If the problem reported concerning your Machine and/or accompanying Consumable
and
Accessory Items is covered by this warranty and if you first reported the problem to
Brother or an Authorized Service Center within the applicable warranty period, Brother
or its Authorized Service Center will repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items at no charge to you for parts or labor. The decision as to whether to repair or replace the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable
and Accessory Items is made by Brother in its sole discretion.
Brother reserves the right to supply a refurbished or remanufactured replacement
Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items and use refurbished
parts provided such replacement products conform to the manufacturer's specifications
for new product/parts.
The repaired or replacement Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items will be returned to you freight prepaid or made available for you to pick up at
a conveniently located Authorized Service Center.
If the Machine and/or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items are not covered by this warranty (either stage), you will be charged for shipping the Machine and/
or accompanying Consumable and Accessory Items back to you and charged for any
service and/or replacement parts/products at Brother's then current published rates.
The foregoing are your sole (i.e., only) and exclusive remedies under this warranty.
What happens when Brother elects to replace your Machine:
When a replacement Machine is authorized by Brother, and you have delivered the
Machine to an Authorized Service Center, the Authorized Service Center will provide
you with a replacement Machine after receiving one from Brother. If you are dealing
directly with Brother, Brother will send to you a replacement Machine with the understanding that you will, after receipt of the replacement Machine, supply the required
proof of purchase information, together with the Machine that Brother agreed to
replace. You are then expected to pack the Machine that Brother agreed to replace in
the package from the replacement Machine and return it to Brother using the pre-paid
freight bill supplied by Brother in accordance with the instructions provided by Brother.
Since you will be in possession of two machines, Brother will require that you provide a
valid major credit card number. Brother will issue a hold against the credit card account
number that you provide until Brother receives your original Product and determines
that your original Product is entitled to warranty coverage. Your credit card will be
charged up to the cost of a new Product only if: (i) you do not return your original Product to Brother within five (5) business days; (ii) the problems with your original Product
are not covered by the limited warranty; (iii) the proper packaging instructions are not
followed and has caused damage to the product; or (iv) the warranty period on your
original Product has expired or has not been sufficiently validated with a copy of the
proof of purchase (bill of sale). The replacement Machine you receive (even if refurbished or remanufactured) will be covered by the balance of the limited warranty period
remaining on the original Product, plus an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the
replacement Machine that is sent to you and your original Machine shall become the
property of Brother. Retain your original Accessory Items and a copy of the return
freight bill, signed by the courier.
Limitations:
Brother is not responsible for damage to or loss of any equipment, media, programs or
data related to the use of the machine. Except for that repair or replacement as
described above, Brother shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages or specific relief. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to
you.
THIS WARRANTY IS GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR
ORAL, WHETHER EXPRESSED BY AFFIRMATION, PROMISE, DESCRIPTION,
DRAWING, MODEL OR SAMPLE. ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THIS
ONE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY
DISCLAIMED.
• This Limited Warranty is the only warranty that Brother is giving for the machine. It is
the final expression and the exclusive and only statement of Brother's obligations to
you. It replaces all other agreements and understandings that you may have with
Brother or its representatives.
• This warranty gives you certain rights and you may also have other rights that may
vary from state to state.
• This Limited Warranty (and Brother's obligation to you) may not be changed in any way
unless you and Brother sign the same piece of paper in which we (1) refer to the
machine and your bill of sale date, (2) describe the change to this warranty and (3)
agree to make that change.
Important:
We recommend that you keep all original packing materials, in the event that you ship
the machine.
