warranty repair.
This limited warranty will be honored only within the geographical location that Kodak digital cameras and
accessories were purchased.
Kodak will REPAIR or REPLACE Kodak EasyShare digital cameras and accessories if they fail to function properly
during the warranty period, subject to any conditions and/or limitations stated herein. Such repair service will
include all labor as well as any necessary adjustments and/or replacement parts. Such repair or replacement is
the sole remedy under this warranty.
If replacement parts are used in making repairs, these 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.

Request for Warranty service will not be accepted without proof of date of purchase, such as a copy of the
original dated Kodak EasyShare digital camera or accessory sales receipt. (Always keep the original for your
records.)
This warranty does not apply to the battery(s) used in digital cameras or accessories. This warranty does not
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.
Kodak makes no other express or implied warranty for this product. 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.
The option of replacement 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

regardless of cause or for breach of any written or implied warranty is expressly disclaimed and excluded
herefrom.
Your ri ghts
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.
Outside the United States and Canada
In countries other than the United States and Canada, the terms and conditions of this warranty may be

loss may be by negligence or other act.
