below and to the repair or replacement service as determined by DitoGear in its sole discretion. Some states (countries and
provinces) do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition may last, so the limitations described

from state to state (or by country or province). This limited warranty is governed by and construed under the laws of the
coun try in w hich the prod uct purc hase took pla ce. DitoGear, the warrantor, under this limited warranty stands for DitoGear™ Robert

Warranty.
DitoGear’s warranty obligations for this hardware product are limited to the terms set forth herein. DitoGear
warrants this DitoGear-branded hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship under
normal use for a period of one (1) year from the date of retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser
(“Warranty Period”). If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period,
at its option and to the extent permitted by law, DitoGear will either (1) repair the hardware defect
at no charge, using new or refurbished parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (2)
exchange the product with a product that is new or refurbished that is equivalent to new in performance
and reliability and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase
price of the product. DitoGear may request that you replace defective parts with user-installable new
or refurbished parts that DitoGear provides in fulfillment of its warranty obligation.
A replacement product or part, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions
provided by DitoGear, assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or ninety (90) days from the date of
replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you.
When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item
becomes DitoGear’s property. Parts provided by DitoGear in fulfillment of its warranty obligation must
be used in products for which warranty service is claimed. When a refund is given, the product for which the refund is
provided must be returned to DitoGear and becomes DitoGear’s property.
Exclusions and limitations.
To the extent permitted by law, this warranty and the remedies set forth above are exclusive and in lieu

defects. If DitoGear cannot lawfully disclaim statutory or implied warranties then to the extent permitted by law, all such
warranties shall be limited in duration to the duration of the express warranty and to the repair or replacement service as
determined by DitoGear in its sole discretion. Some states (countries and provinces) do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty or condition may last, so the limitations described above may not apply to you. No DitoGear reseller,
agent, or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition to this warranty. If any term is held to be
illegal or unenforceable, the legality or enforceability of the remaining terms shall not be aected or impaired.

not apply to any non-DitoGear hardware products even if packaged or sold with DitoGear hardware. Manufacturers or
suppliers, other than DitoGear, may provide their own warranties to the end user purchaser, but DitoGear, in so far as
permitted by law, provides their products “as is”.

responsible for damage arising from failure to follow instructions relating to the product’s use.

materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken elements on
ports; (c) to damage caused by use with non-DitoGear products; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid
contact, fire, earthquake or other external causes; (e) to damage caused by operating the product outside the permitted

by anyone who is not a representative of DitoGear; (g) to a product or part that has been modified to alter functionality or
capability without the written permission of DitoGear; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to
the normal aging of the product.

special, incidental or consequential damages resulting from any breach of warranty or condition, or under any other
legal theory, including but not limited to loss of use; loss of revenue; loss of actual or anticipated profits (including loss of
profits on contracts); loss of the use of money; loss of anticipated savings; loss of business; loss of Opportunity; loss of
goodwill; loss of reputation; loss of, damage to or any indirect or consequential loss or damage howsoever caused including the
replacement of equipment and property. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to death or personal injury claims, or

not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not
apply to you.
