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 to 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.

D-Link warrants that its software products will perform in substantial
conformance with the applicable product documentation provided by D-Link
with such software product, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of
purchase from D-Link or its Authorized Reseller. D-Link warrants the magnetic
media, on which D-Link provides its software product, against failure during the
same warranty period. This warranty applies to purchased software, and to
replacement software provided by D-Link pursuant to this warranty, but shall
not apply to any update or replacement which may be provided for download via
the Internet, or to any update which may otherwise be provided free of charge.

D-Link's sole obligation under this software warranty shall be to replace any
defective software product with product which substantially conforms to
D-Link's applicable product documentation. Purchaser assumes responsibility
for the selection of appropriate application and system/platform software and
associated reference materials. D-Link makes no warranty that its software
products will work in combination with any hardware, or any application or
system/platform software product provided by any third party, excepting only
such products as are expressly represented, in D-Link's applicable product
documentation as being compatible. D-Link's obligation under this warranty
shall be a reasonable effort to provide compatibility, but D-Link shall have no

obligation to provide compatibility when there is fault in the third-party
hardware or software. D-Link makes no warranty that operation of its software
products will be uninterrupted or absolutely error-free, and no warranty that all
defects in the software product, within or without the scope of D-Link's
applicable product documentation, will be corrected.
