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 by advance replacement. 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. When an advance 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.

 

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.

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

WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. 3COM NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO

 

ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR

3COM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IF ITS TESTING AND EXAMINATION DISCLOSE THAT

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND LIMITS ITS LIABILITY TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OR REFUND OF THE

limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights which

 

may vary depending on local law.

 

 

GOVERNING LAW

This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A. excluding its conflicts of
