OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE: Customer must contact a 3Com Corporate Service Center or an Authorized 3Com Service Center within the applicable warranty period to obtain warranty service authorization. Dated proof of purchase from 3Com or its autho- rized reseller may be required. A User Service Order (USO), Return Material Authorization (RMA) or Service Repair Order (SRO) number will be issued. This number must be marked on the outside of the package sent to 3Com’s Corporate Service Center. The product must be packaged appropriately for safe shipment and sent pre- paid. It is recommended that returned products be insured or sent by a method that provides for tracking of the package. Responsibil- ity for loss or damage does not transfer to 3Com until the returned item is received by 3Com. 3Com will retain risk of loss or damage until the item is delivered to Customer. For non-US Customers, the word 'prepaid' shall be omitted where this requirement is not per- mitted by law. The allocation of responsibility for loss or damage stated shall be subject to any mandatory legal requirements.

3Com shall not be responsible for any software, firmware, informa- tion, or memory data of Customer contained in, stored on, or inte- grated with any products returned to 3Com for repair, whether under warranty or not.
