Limited Warranty
Hardware:
D-Link warrants each of its hardware products to be free from defects in
workmanship and materials under normal use and service for a period
commencing on the date of purchase from D-Link or its Authorized Reseller
and extending for the length of time stipulated by the Authorized Reseller or
D-Link Branch Office nearest to the place of purchase.
This Warranty applies on the condition that the product Registration Card is
filled out and returned to a D-Link office within ninety (90) days of
purchase. A list of D-Link offices is provided at the back of this manual,
together with a copy of the Registration Card.
If the product proves defective within the applicable warranty period, D-Link
will provide repair or replacement of the product. D-Link shall have the sole
discretion whether to repair or replace, and replacement product may be
new or reconditioned. Replacement product shall be of equivalent or better
specifications, relative to the defective product, but need not be identical.
Any product or part repaired by D-Link pursuant to this warranty shall have
a warranty period of not less than 90 days, from date of such repair,
irrespective of any earlier expiration of original warranty period. When
D-Link provides replacement, then the defective product becomes the
property of D-Link.
Warranty service may be obtained by contacting a D-Link office within the
applicable warranty period, and requesting a Return Material Authorization
(RMA) number. If a Registration Card for the product in question has not
been returned to D-Link, then a proof of purchase (such as a copy of the
dated purchase invoice) must be provided. If Purchaser's circumstances
require special handling of warranty correction, then at the time of
requesting RMA number, Purchaser may also propose special procedure as
may be suitable to the case.
After an RMA number is issued, the defective product must be packaged
securely in the original or other suitable shipping package to ensure that it
will not be damaged in transit, and the RMA number must be prominently
marked on the outside of the package. The package must be mailed or
otherwise shipped to D-Link with all costs of mailing/shipping/insurance
prepaid. D-Link shall never be responsible for any software, firmware,
information, or memory data of Purchaser contained in, stored on, or
integrated with any product returned to D-Link pursuant to this warranty.
Any package returned to D-Link without an RMA number will be rejected
and shipped back to Purchaser at Purchaser's expense, and D-Link reserves
the right in such a case to levy a reasonable handling charge in addition
mailing or shipping costs.
