cover circumstances beyond Kodak’s control, nor problems caused by failure to follow the operating instructions
in the Kodak EasyShare digital cameras and accessories User’s Guides.
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, 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.

consequential or incidental damages resulting from the sale, purchase, or use of this product, regardless of the
