Appendix

Limited Warranty

Kodak warrants Kodak consumer electronic products and accessories (“products”), excluding batteries, to be free
from malfunctions and defects in both materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. Retain
the original dated sales receipt. Proof of the date of purchase will be required with any request for warranty repair.

Limited warranty coverage

Warranty service is only available from within the country where the products were originally purchased. You may
be required to ship products, at your expense, to the authorized service facility for the country where the products
were purchased. Kodak will repair or replace products if they fail to function properly during the warranty period,
subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Warranty service will include all labor as well as any
necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. If Kodak is unable to repair or replace a product, Kodak will, at
its option, refund the purchase price paid for the product provided the product has been returned to Kodak along
with proof of the purchase price paid. Repair, replacement, or refund of the purchase price are the sole remedies
under the warranty. If replacement parts are used in making repairs, those parts may be remanufactured, or may
contain remanufactured materials. If it is necessary to replace the entire product, it may be replaced with a
remanufactured product. Remanufactured products, parts and materials are warranted for the remaining warranty
term of the original product, or 90 days after the date of repair or replacement, whichever is longer.

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 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 purchase date or such longer period as required by law. 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 sale, purchase, or use of this product regardless of the
cause. Liability for any special, consequential or incidental damages (including but not limited to loss of revenue or
profit, downtime costs, loss of the use of the equipment, cost of substitute equipment, facilities or services, or
claims of your customers for such damages resulting from the purchase, use, or failure of the product), regardless
of cause or for breach of any written or implied warranty is expressly disclaimed.

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. Some states or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation 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.

liability exists beyond any minimum requirements imposed by law, even though defect, damage, or loss may be by
negligence or other act.
