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

particular purpose. In the event that the exclusion of any implied warranty is
ineffective under the law, the duration of the implied warranty will be one year from

The option of repair, replacement, or refund is Kodak’s only obligation. Kodak will not
be responsible for any special, consequential or incidental damages resulting from the

Your rights
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights which vary from
state to state or by jurisdiction.

In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of
this warranty may be different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to
