reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in
all material respects to the defective Hardware. The Warranty Period shall extend for an additional
ninety (90) days after any repaired or replaced Hardware is delivered. If a material defect is
incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to repair or
replace the defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware
will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part
thereof) that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the
