completed Registration Card is returned to an Authorized D-Link Service
Office within ninety (90) days after the date of original retail purchase of the

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 D­Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property
of D-Link upon replacement 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 delivery of the Software
for a period of ninety (90) days (“Warranty Period”), if 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 non­conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially
conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software. 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. The Warranty
Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any replacement
Software is delivered. 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 D­Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is
first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for
which a refund is given automatically terminates.
