ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's An ti-Counter feiting Poli cy. Fairchi ld's An ti-Counter feiting Policy is also state d on ou r external website, w ww.fair childsemi.com ,
under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a grow ing problem in the industry . All manu facturers of semicon ductor pro ducts are e xp eriencing counter feiting of thei r
parts. Customers who inadvertently purch ase co unterfeit p arts ex perience many problem s such as loss of brand repu tation, substan dard performan ce, failed
applications, and increased cost o f productio n and man ufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong mea sures to protect oursel v es and our custome rs from the
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourag es customers to purchase Fairchild par ts either directly from Fairchild or fr om Authorize d Fairchild
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distrib utors
are genuine parts, have full tr aceability , meet Fairchild' s quality standards for handling and storage and pr ovide a ccess to Fa irchild's full range of up-to-date technical
and product information. Fairchild and ou r Authorized Distributo rs will stan d behind all warran ties and will appropriate ly addr ess any warranty issues that may ari se.
Fairchild will not provide any w arranty coverage o r other assistance fo r parts bo ught from Unauthorized Sources. F airchild is committed to combat this global
problem and encourage our customers to do their par t in stopping this practi ce by buying direct or from au thorized distr ibutors.
