repair.
Limited warranty coverage
Warranty service is only available from within the country where the Products were

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

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.

Appendix
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 r i 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.

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
