Maxtor Personal Storage 3000LS Limited Warranty Statement

Maxtor’s warranty obligations are limited to the terms set forth below:

Maxtor warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“you”) that new Maxtor Personal Storage
3000LS disk drive products (“Products”) will be free from defects in material and workmanship for
the Standard Warranty Period, which for the Product is ninety (90) days. The start of the warranty
period is the date of your purchase of the Product from Maxtor or Maxtor’s authorized reseller.
Maxtor may require proof of purchase to validate the start of the Standard Warranty Period.

For replacement Products, the warranty on the replacement Product is the remainder of the
warranty on the original Product or 90 days, whichever is longer.

The Products are manufactured from parts and components that are new or equivalent to new in
accordance with industry standards.

If you discover a defect in material and workmanship for the Standard Warranty Period and Maxtor
agrees that the defect exists, Maxtor will, at its option, repair or replace the Product at no charge to
you, provided it is returned during the Standard Warranty Period, with transportation charges
prepaid, to the facility designated by Maxtor. The Product must be properly packaged in Maxtor or
Maxtor-approved packaging, with the Return Material Authorization (RMA) number clearly displayed
on the outside of the packaging, to obtain warranty service.

To request warranty service and before returning a Maxtor product, visit www.maxtor.com to locate
the appropriate telephone number for obtaining customer assistance within your jurisdiction. Once
the Maxtor Service Center determines that a repair is required, Maxtor will issue an RMA number.
A copy of your receipt or bill of sale bearing the name and location of Maxtor’s authorized reseller
and the Maxtor serial number and model number of the Product in which the defect has been
reported may be required as a proof of your purchase for warranty service.

The warranty applies only to the Maxtor products that can be identified by the original, unaltered
Maxtor trademark, trade name or logo affixed to them. Maxtor does not warrant any product that is
not manufactured by, for, or with permission from Maxtor.

This warranty does not cover any of the following conditions:

•

Abuse, unreasonable use, mistreatment, or neglect

•

Unusual physical or electrical stress or power fluctuations

•

Damage caused during installation of the Product

•

Damage caused by the equipment or system with which the Product is used

•

Damage caused by modification or repair not made or authorized by Maxtor

•

Products whose Maxtor Serial Number has been removed or defaced

•

Damage caused by use of non-Maxtor packaging

•

Damage caused by improper or improperly used packaging

•

Damage caused by lack of ESD protection

•

Products that are determined to be stolen

Maxtor owns all parts removed from the repaired Products. Maxtor uses new and reconditioned
parts in performing warranty repairs and building replacement products.

THIS WARRANTY AND REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHERS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. MAXTOR
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, AS TO THE PRODUCTS OR ANY OTHER MATTER
WHATSOEVER. IN PARTICULAR, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, MAXTOR SPECIFICALLY
DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF SATISFACTORY
QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON­INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY ARISING FORM A
COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. No Maxtor distributor, reseller, dealer, agent or
employee is authorized to make any modification, extension or addition to this warranty.

MAXTOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND WHETHER OR NOT MAXTOR WAS
ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR PROGRAMS, LOST PROFITS, DOWNTIME, GOODWILL,
DAMAGE OR REPLACEMENT OF EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY, AND ANY COSTS OF
RECOVERING, PROGRAMMING OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA STORED IN OR
USED WITH MAXTOR PRODUCTS. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for
death or personal injury caused by the negligence of Maxtor or its associated companies, officers,
representatives or agents.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages
or exclusions of implied warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction. If a Product is purchased from Maxtor or Maxtor’s authorized reseller by
you in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East, you may have additional warranty rights which are
explained at www.maxtor.com.

This Statement of Limited Warranty shall be exclusively interpreted in accordance with the English
language with the meaning of its terms. Should a translated version of this Limited Warranty
deviate from the English language version, only the English version shall apply and be binding.
