Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D­Link”) provides this Limited warranty for its product only to the person or entity
that originally purchased the product from:

• D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor and

• Products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the

United States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Possessions or
Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, addresses with an APO or FPO.

Limited Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link
products described below will be free from material defects in workmanship
and materials from the date of original retail purchase of the product, for the
period set forth below applicable to the product type (“Warranty Period”),
except as otherwise stated herein.

1-Year Limited Warranty for the Product(s) is defined as follows:

• Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans) One (1) Year

• Power Supplies and Fans One (1) Year

• Spare parts and spare kits Ninety (90) days

D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware
during the Warranty Period at no charge to the original owner or to refund at
D-Link’s sole discretion. Such repair or replacement will be rendered by D­Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement Hardware need
not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may in its sole
discretion replace the defective Hardware (or any part thereof) with any
reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially
equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware.
Repaired or replacement Hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the
original Warranty Period from the date of original retail purchase. If a material
defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion
that it is not practical to repair or replace 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 D-Link, 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 retail purchase of the Software for a
period of ninety (90) days (“Warranty Period”), provided that 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 non-conforming
Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D­Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to refund at D-Link’s sole
discretion. 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. Software will
be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period from the date
or original retail purchase. 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 D-Link; 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.

Non-Applicability of Warranty: The Limited Warranty provided hereunder
for hardware and software of D-Link's products will not be applied to and does
not cover any refurbished product and any product purchased through the
inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the

pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being sold "As-Is"

Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the
contrary.

written description of the Hardware defect or Software
nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow D-Link to confirm the
same.

Authorization (“RMA”) number from the Authorized D-Link Service
Office and, if requested, provide written proof of purchase of the
product (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for the

• 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. Do not
include any manuals or accessories in the shipping package. D­Link will only replace the defective portion of the Product and will not
