Limited Warranty for Intel® Chassis

Subassembly Products

Intel warrants that the Products (defined herein as the Intel® chassis subassembly and all of its various components and software delivered with or as part of the Products) to be delivered hereunder, if properly used and installed, will be free from defects in material and workmanship and will substantially conform to Intel's publicly available specifications for a period of three (3) years after the date the Product was purchased from an Intel authorized distributor. Software of any kind delivered with or as part of products is expressly provided "as is" unless specifically provided for otherwise in any software license accompanying the software.

If any Product furnished by Intel which is the subject of this Limited Warranty fails during the warranty period for reasons covered by this Limited Warranty, Intel, at its option, will:

REPAIR the Product by means of hardware and/or software; OR

REPLACE the Product with another Product; OR

REFUND the then-current value of the Product if Intel is unable to repair or replace the Product.

If such Product is defective, transportation charges for the return of Product to buyer within the USA will be paid by Intel. For all other locations, the warranty excludes all costs of shipping, customs clearance, and other related charges. Intel will have a reasonable time to make repairs or to replace Product or to refund the then-current value of the Product.

In no event will Intel be liable for any other costs associated with the replacement or repair of Product, including labor, installation or other costs incurred by buyer and in particular, any costs relating to the removal or replacement of any product soldered or otherwise permanently affixed to any printed circuit board.

This Limited Warranty, and any implied warranties that may exist under state law, apply only to the original purchaser of the Product.

Extent of Limited Warranty
