OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE: Customer must contact a Palm Computing, Inc.
or 3Com Technical Support or Customer Service center within the applicable warranty
period to obtain warranty service authorization. Dated proof of original purchase from
3Com or its authorized reseller will be required. 3Com is not responsible for Customer
products or parts received without a warranty service authorization. In the United States,
3Com may ship a replacement product or part prior to receiving the original product or part

part will be shipped as soon as reasonably possible, which will be no later than thirty (30)
days after 3Com receives the original product or part. Repaired or replacement products
will be shipped to Customer at 3Com’s expense. The repair and replacement process for
products or parts in locations outside of the United States will vary depending on
Customer's location.

Products or parts shipped by Customer to 3Com must be sent prepaid and packaged
appropriately for safe shipment, and it is recommended that they be insured or sent by a
method that provides for tracking of the package. When an advance exchange is provided
and Customer fails to return the original product or part to 3Com within thirty (30) days
from the date the warranty service authorization is issued, 3Com will charge Customer the
then-current published catalogue price of such product or part.

EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR
CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS
OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY
QUALITY, CORRESPONDENCE WITH DESCRIPTION, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT,
ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. 3COM NEITHER ASSUMES NOR
AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR USE OF ITS
PRODUCTS.

3COM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IF ITS TESTING AND
EXAMINATION DISCLOSE THAT THE ALLEGED DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION IN
THE PRODUCT DOES NOT EXIST OR WAS CAUSED BY CUSTOMER'S OR ANY THIRD
PERSON'S MISUSE, NEGLECT, IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR TESTING,
UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPTS TO OPEN, REPAIR, OR MODIFY THE PRODUCT, OR
ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND THE RANGE OF THE INTENDED USE, OR BY
ACCIDENT, FIRE, LIGHTNING, OTHER HAZARDS, OR ACTS OF GOD. THIS
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE OF THE

PRODUCT, INCLUDING CRACKS OR SCRATCHES ON THE LCD TOUCHSCREEN OR
OUTSIDE CASING. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY WHEN THE MALFUNCTION
RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT IN CONJUNCTION WITH

PRODUCT OR PART DUE TO ANY COMMUNICATION SERVICE CUSTOMER MAY
SUBSCRIBE TO OR USE WITH THE PRODUCT.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, 3COM
ALSO EXCLUDES FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER
BASED IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), FOR INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR
FOR LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF INFORMATION
OR DATA, OR OTHER FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION

OR INTERRUPTION OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF 3COM OR ITS AUTHORIZED
RESELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND
LIMITS ITS LIABILITY TO REPLACEMENT, REPAIR, OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE
PRICE PAID, AT 3COM'S OPTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES
WILL NOT BE AFFECTED IF ANY REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL FAIL OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

DISCLAIMER: Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages for
certain products supplied to consumers, or the limitation of liability for personal injury, so
the above limitations and exclusions may be limited in their application to you. When the
implied warranties are not allowed to be excluded in their entirety, they will be limited to
the duration of the applicable written warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights which may vary depending on local law.
