LIMITED WARRANTY

(United States, Canada, APAC)

This warranty is provided to you by Cisco Systems, Inc. and/or its affiliated entities (“Cisco”)

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS

The benefits we give in this manufacturer’s warranty are additional to, and do not detract from, any rights and remedies that you may have under local consumer protection laws.

This manufacturer’s warranty is governed by the laws of the country in which you purchased your Cisco product. In many countries, consumers have statutory rights under local consumer laws. Those consumer rights may differ between countries, states and provinces, and often cannot be excluded.

This Manufacturer’s warranty is not intended to:

• change or exclude any statutory consumer rights

that cannot be lawfully changed or excluded; or

• limit or exclude any right you have against the

person who sold the Cisco product to you if that person has breached their sales contract with you.

A. SCOPE OF MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY

(i) Express warranty – warranty periods and remedies

a) repairing the product with new or refurbished parts, b) replacing the product with a reasonably available

equivalent new or refurbished Cisco product, c) refunding the actual purchase price of the product less

any rebates and discounts, or d) paying the cost of repair of the product.

Any repaired or replacement products are warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or 30 days, whichever is longer. All products and parts that are replaced become the property of Cisco.

Cisco additionally warrants that any media on which software for the product may be provided will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for the Software Media Warranty Period. The Software Media Warranty Period is a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original purchase. If you make an eligible software media claim under this manufacturer’s warranty, Cisco will honor the warranty by replacing the software media.

No Cisco employee, agent or reseller can make any verbal or written modification, extension or addition to this manufacturer’s warranty.

Note 1: Be aware that goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than the defective goods being repaired. Alternatively, refurbished parts may be used in the repair.

Note 2: The rights and remedies outlined above are the only rights and remedies available under this manufacturer’s warranty. However, a defect which gives rise to a claim under this manufacturer’s warranty may also give rise to rights under local laws under the original contract of sale, and different or additional remedies may be available under those laws. Further, rights and remedies may be available under local laws even for defects, goods or services that are not covered by this manufacturer’s warranty at all.

Cisco warrants the hardware in this Cisco product against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for the Hardware Warranty Period. The Hardware Warranty Period begins on the date of purchase by the original enduser purchaser and lasts for the period specified below:

• Twelve (12) months for new product

• Ninety (90) days for refurbished product

If you make an eligible hardware claim under this manufacturer’s warranty, Cisco will honor this warranty by doing one of the following (at its option):

e) the product has been subjected to abnormal physical or electrical stress, misuse, negligence, or accident,

f) the serial number on the product has been altered, defaced, or removed, or

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS

The benefits we give in this manufacturer’s warranty are additional to, and do not detract from, any rights and remedies that you may have under local consumer protection laws.

This manufacturer’s warranty is governed by the laws of the country in which you purchased your Cisco product. In many countries, consumers have statutory rights under local consumer laws. Those consumer rights may differ between countries, states and provinces, and often cannot be excluded.

For example, in Australia our goods come with certain guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. New Zealand also has similar consumer protection laws.

This Manufacturer’s warranty is not intended to:

• change or exclude any statutory consumer rights

that cannot be lawfully changed or excluded; or

• limit or exclude any right you have against the

person who sold the Cisco product to you if that person has breached their sales contract with you.
