LIMITED WARRANTY
HARDWARE:
3Com warrants its hardware products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials,
under normal use and service, for the following lengths of time from the date of purchase
from 3Com or its
Authorized Reseller:
If a product does not operate as warranted above during the applicable warranty period, 3Com shall, at its
option and expense, repair the defective product or part, deliver to Customer an equivalent product or part to
replace the defective item, or 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. Any replaced or repaired product or part has a ninety (90) day warranty or the remainder of the
initial warranty period, whichever is longer.
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.
SOFTWARE:
3Com warrants that the software programs licensed from it will perform in substantial
conformance to the program specifications therefor 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 with respect to this express warranty shall be
(at 3Com's discretion) to refund the purchase price paid by Customer for any defective software products, or to
replace any defective media with software which substantially conforms to 3Com's applicable 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 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.
STANDARD WARRANTY SERVICE:
Standard warranty service for hardware products may be obtained by
delivering the defective product, accompanied by a copy of the dated proof of purchase, to 3Com's Corporate
Service Center or to an Authorized 3Com Service Center during the applicable warranty period. Standard
warranty service for software products may be obtained by telephoning 3Com's Corporate Service Center or an
Authorized 3Com Service Center, within the warranty period. Products returned to 3Com's Corporate Service
Center must be pre-authorized by 3Com with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number marked on the
outside of the package, and sent prepaid, insured, and packaged appropriately for safe shipment. The repaired
or replaced item will be shipped to Customer, at 3Com's expense, not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of
the defective product by 3Com.
WARRANTIES EXCLUSIVE:
IF A 3COM PRODUCT DOES NOT OPERATE AS WARRANTED ABOVE, CUSTOMER'S
SOLE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF THAT WARRANTY SHALL BE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE
PURCHASE PRICE PAID, AT 3COM'S OPTION. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THE FOREGOING
WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR
CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE,
INCLUDING WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
