Maxtor’s warranty obligations are limited to the terms set forth below:
Maxtor warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“you”) that new Maxtor Personal Storage 3000LS disk drive products (“Products”) will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the Standard Warranty Period, which for the Product is ninety (90) days. The start of the warranty period is the date of your purchase of the Product from Maxtor or Maxtor’s authorized reseller. Maxtor may require proof of purchase to validate the start of the Standard Warranty Period.
For replacement Products, the warranty on the replacement Product is the remainder of the warranty on the original Product or 90 days, whichever is longer.
The Products are manufactured from parts and components that are new or equivalent to new in accordance with industry standards.
If you discover a defect in material and workmanship for the Standard Warranty Period and Maxtor agrees that the defect exists, Maxtor will, at its option, repair or replace the Product at no charge to you, provided it is returned during the Standard Warranty Period, with transportation charges prepaid, to the facility designated by Maxtor. The Product must be properly packaged in Maxtor or Maxtor-approved packaging, with the Return Material Authorization (RMA) number clearly displayed on the outside of the packaging, to obtain warranty service.
To request warranty service and before returning a Maxtor product, visit www.maxtor.com to locate the appropriate telephone number for obtaining customer assistance within your jurisdiction. Once the Maxtor Service Center determines that a repair is required, Maxtor will issue an RMA number. A copy of your receipt or bill of sale bearing the name and location of Maxtor’s authorized reseller and the Maxtor serial number and model number of the Product in which the defect has been reported may be required as a proof of your purchase for warranty service.
The warranty applies only to the Maxtor products that can be identified by the original, unaltered Maxtor trademark, trade name or logo affixed to them. Maxtor does not warrant any product that is not manufactured by, for, or with permission from Maxtor.
This warranty does not cover any of the following conditions:
•Abuse, unreasonable use, mistreatment, or neglect
•Unusual physical or electrical stress or power fluctuations
•Damage caused during installation of the Product
•Damage caused by the equipment or system with which the Product is used
•Damage caused by modification or repair not made or authorized by Maxtor
•Products whose Maxtor Serial Number has been removed or defaced
•Damage caused by use of non-Maxtor packaging
•Damage caused by improper or improperly used packaging
•Damage caused by lack of ESD protection
•Products that are determined to be stolen
Maxtor owns all parts removed from the repaired Products. Maxtor uses new and reconditioned parts in performing warranty repairs and building replacement products.
THIS WARRANTY AND REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. MAXTOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, AS TO THE PRODUCTS OR ANY OTHER MATTER WHATSOEVER. IN PARTICULAR, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, MAXTOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON- INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY ARISING FORM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. No Maxtor distributor, reseller, dealer, agent or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension or addition to this warranty.
MAXTOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND WHETHER OR NOT MAXTOR WAS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR PROGRAMS, LOST PROFITS, DOWNTIME, GOODWILL, DAMAGE OR REPLACEMENT OF EQUIPMENT AND PROPERTY, AND ANY COSTS OF RECOVERING, PROGRAMMING OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA STORED IN OR USED WITH MAXTOR PRODUCTS. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of Maxtor or its associated companies, officers, representatives or agents.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or exclusions of implied warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. If a Product is purchased from Maxtor or Maxtor’s authorized reseller by you in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East, you may have additional warranty rights which are explained at www.maxtor.com.
This Statement of Limited Warranty shall be exclusively interpreted in accordance with the English language with the meaning of its terms. Should a translated version of this Limited Warranty deviate from the English language version, only the English version shall apply and be binding.
