Columbia, U.S. Possessions or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, addresses with an APO or
FPO.
Limited Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link products described below will
be free from material defects in workmanship and materials from the date of original retail purchase of the
product, for the period set forth below applicable to the product type (“Warranty Period”), except as otherwise
stated herein.
1-Year Limited Warranty for the Product(s) is defined as follows:
•Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans) One(1) Year
•Power Supplies and Fans One (1) Year
•Spare parts and spare kits Ninety (90) days
D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no
charge to the original owner or to refund at D-Link’s sole discretion. Such repair or replacement will be
rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement Hardware need not be new or
have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may in its sole discretion replace the defective Hardware (or any
part thereof) with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or
superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. Repaired or replacement Hardware will be
warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period from the date of original retail purchase. 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 property of D-Link upon
replacement or refund.
Limited Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will
substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the
applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety (90)

shall be to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially
conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to refund at D-Link’s sole discretion. Except
as otherwise agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee,
and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. Software will be
warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period from the date or original retail purchase. If a
material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not
practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-
conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies
thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given
automatically terminates.

D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any refurbished product and any product
purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or the

is being sold “As-Is” without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as
described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.
