shipped to Customer, at 3Com's expense, not later than thirty (30) days after 3Com receives the defective

 

product, and 3Com will retain risk of loss or damage until the item is delivered to Customer.

 

3Com shall not be responsible for any software, firmware, information, or memory data of Customer

 

contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to 3Com for repair, whether under

 

warranty or not.

 

Dead- or Defective-on-Arrival.In the event a product completely fails to function or exhibits a defect in

 

materials or workmanship within the first forty-eight (48) hours of installation but no later than thirty (30)

 

days after the date of purchase, and this is verified by 3Com, it will be considered dead- or

 

defective-on-arrival (DOA) and a replacement shall be provided prior to 3Com receiving the defective

 

product, but only if Customer provides a purchase order number, credit card number, or other method of

 

payment acceptable to 3Com, to be used if 3Com needs to charge Customer for the replacement, as

 

explained below. The replacement product will normally be shipped not later than three (3) business days

 

after 3Com's verification of the DOA product, but may be delayed due to export or import procedures. The

 

shipment of a replacement product prior to 3Com receiving the defective product is subject to local legal

 

requirements and may not be available in all locations. When such a replacement is provided and Customer

 

fails to return the original product to 3Com within fifteen (15) days after shipment of the replacement, 3Com

 

will charge Customer for the replacement product, at list price.

 

Shipment of a Replacement Prior to 3Com Receiving the Defective Product is provided for five (5)

 

years, after which time it may be available for a specified fee, but in either case only if Customer provides a

 

purchase order number, credit card number, or other method of payment acceptable to 3Com, to be used if

 

3Com needs to charge Customer for the replacement, as explained below. 3Com will make commercially

 

reasonable efforts to ship the replacement product not later than five (5) business days after receiving the

 

request for a replacement, but may be delayed due to product availability or export or import procedures.

 

The shipment of a replacement product prior to 3Com receiving the defective product is subject to local legal

 

requirements and may not be available in all locations. When such a replacement is provided and Customer

 

fails to return the original product to 3Com within fifteen (15) days after shipment of the replacement, 3Com

 

will charge Customer for the replacement, at list price. This replacement prior to 3Com receiving the

 

defective product is different from the fee-based Advance Hardware Replacement Service, which is available

 

as a contracted service offering.
