This Statement of Limited
Warranty applies to this product if it
was originally purchased for your
use, and not for resale, from
Lexmark or a Lexmark remarketer,
referred to in this statement as
“Remarketer.”
Warranty
Lexmark warrants that this

and workmanship
•Conforms to Lexmark’s official
published specifications

If this product does not function as
warranted during the warranty
period, contact a Remarketer or
Lexmark for repair or replacement
(at Lexmark’s option) without

If this product is a feature or option,
this statement applies only when
that feature or option is used with
the product for which it was
designed. To obtain warranty
service, you may be required to
present the feature or option with
the product.
If you transfer this product to
another user, warranty service
under the terms of this statement
is available to that user for the
remainder of the warranty period.
You should transfer proof of
original purchase and this
statement to that user.
Warranty service
The warranty period is 12 months
and starts on the date of original
purchase as shown on the

To obtain warranty service you
may be required to present proof of

packaged to a Lexmark designated

loss of, or damage to, a product in
transit to the Remarketer or the

When warranty service involves
the exchange of a product or part,
the item replaced becomes the
property of the Remarketer or
Lexmark. The replacement may be
a new or repaired item. The
replacement item assumes the
remaining warranty period of the
original product.
Replacement is not available to

exchange is defaced, altered, in
need of a repair not included in
warranty service, or damaged
beyond repair. Also, such product
must be free of any legal
obligations and restrictions.

Limitation of liability
Your sole remedy under this
Statement of Limited Warranty is
set forth in this section. For any
claim concerning performance or
nonperformance of Lexmark or a
Remarketer for this product under
this Statement of Limited Warranty,
you may recover actual damages
up to the limit set forth in the
following paragraph.
Lexmark's liability for actual
damages from any cause
whatsoever will be limited to the
greater of 1) $5,000 or 2) the
amount you paid for the product
that caused the damages. This
limitation of liability will not apply to
claims by you for bodily injury or
damage to real property or tangible
personal property for which
Lexmark is legally liable. In no
event will Lexmark be liable for any
lost profits, lost savings, incidental
damage, or other economic
consequential damages. This is
true even if you advise Lexmark or
a Remarketer of the possibility of
such damages. Lexmark is not
liable for any claim by you based
on a third party claim.
This limitation of remedies also
applies to any developer of
materials supplied to Lexmark.
Lexmark’s and the developer’s
limitations of remedies are not
cumulative. Such developer is an
intended beneficiary of this
limitation.
Additional rights
Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, or do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the
limitations or exclusions contained
above may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific
legal rights. You may also have
other rights which vary from state
to state.
