ARRANTY
3Com’s sole obligation under this express warranty shall be,
at 3Com’s option and expense, to repair the defective
product or part, deliver to Customer an equivalent product
or part to replace the defective item, or if neither of the
two foregoing options is reasonably available, 3Com may,
in its sole discretion, refund to Customer the purchase price
paid for the defective product. All products that are
replaced will become the property of 3Com. Replacement
products may be new or reconditioned. 3Com warrants
any replaced or repaired product or part for ninety (90)
days from shipment, or the remainder of the initial
warranty period, whichever is longer.
Software
3Com warrants to Customer that each software program
licensed from it will perform in substantial conformance to
its program specifications, for a period of ninety (90) days
from the date of purchase from 3Com or its authorized
reseller. 3Com warrants the media containing software
against failure during the warranty period. No updates are
provided. 3Com's sole obligation under this express
warranty shall be, at 3Com's option and expense, to refund
the purchase price paid by Customer for any defective
software product, or to replace any defective media with
software which substantially conforms to applicable 3Com
published specifications. Customer assumes responsibility
for the selection of the appropriate applications program
and associated reference materials. 3Com makes no
warranty or representation that its software products will
meet Customer’s requirements or work in combination
with any hardware or applications software products
provided by third parties, that the operation of the
software products will be uninterrupted or error free, or
that all defects in the software products will be corrected.
For any third party products listed in the 3Com software
product documentation or specifications as being
compatible, 3Com will make reasonable efforts to provide
compatibility, except where the non-compatibility is caused
by a "bug" or defect in the third party's product or from
use of the software product not in accordance with 3Com’s
published specifications or user manual.
