ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

This Limited Warranty provides for specific legal rights with respect to your NOOK® eReader. Please review it care- fully. You may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

WHAT WARRANTIES APPLY TO MY NOOK?

What is Covered?

This Limited Warranty covers your NOOK. For purposes of this Limited Warranty, “NOOK” means only the hardware comprising: (i) your NOOK, NOOK Color™, NOOK Simple Touch™, or NOOK Tablet™ eReader unit; and (ii) the peripherals included in the packaging with your NOOK, NOOK Color, NOOK Simple Touch, or NOOK Tablet.

Express Warranty

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty, Barnes & Noble, Inc. (“B&N”) warrants to the original retail purchaser only (“you”) that your NOOK will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal consumer use for a period of one (1) year from the date of original retail purchase (the “Warranty Period”). This express warranty is not transferable to subsequent owners of the product. If your NOOK was originally purchased by someone else as a gift for you, as shown by a gift receipt, you will be considered the “original retail purchaser” of that NOOK.

Implied Warranty

You may also have implied warranties under the laws of some jurisdictions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such implied warranties are limited to the duration of the Warranty Period. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so this limitation may not apply to you. You may not assign or otherwise transfer such implied warranties. However, some jurisdictions extend the protection of implied warranties to subsequent consumers, so this limitation may not apply to you.
