Appendix
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 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. 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
different. Unless a specific Kodak warranty is communicated to the purchaser in writing by a Kodak company,
no warranty or liability exists beyond any minimum requirements imposed by law, even though defect, damage,
or loss may be by negligence or other act.
