Limitations
This warranty does not cover circumstances beyond Kodak's control. This warranty does not apply when failure
is due to shipping damage, accident, alteration, modification, unauthorized service, misuse, abuse, use with
incompatible accessories or attachments (such as third party ink or ink tanks), failure to follow Kodak's
operation, maintenance or repacking instructions, failure to use items supplied by Kodak (such as adapters and
cables), or claims made after the duration of this warranty. Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty
for this product, and disclaims the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In

Your rights
