Possessions or Protectorates, US Military Installations, addresses with an APO or FPO.
3-Year Limited Hardware Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link products
described below (“Hardware”) will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials from the

D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware at no charge to the original
owner. 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 of an identical make, model or part; D-Link may in its
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. 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 property of D-Link upon replacement or refund.

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. The Warranty Period shall extend for an additional
ninety (90) days after any replacement Software is delivered. 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.
