10. Warranty and Registration
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D-Link”) provides this Limited

• D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor and
• Products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the United States, the District of
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.
3-Year Limited Warranty for the Product(s) is defined as follows:
• Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans) Three (3) Years
• 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) days (“Warranty Period”), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and
operated as contemplated in its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Warranty Period,
the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free of physical defects. D-Link’s sole
obligation 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.
Non-Applicability of Warranty: The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for hardware and software of
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,

the product 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.
Submitting A Claim: The customer shall return the product to the original purchase point based on its
return policy. In case the return policy period has expired and the product is within warranty, the

Hardware defect or Software nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow D-Link to confirm the same.
• The original product owner must obtain a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number from

• After an RMA number is issued, the defective product must be packaged securely in the
original or other suitable shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, and the
RMA number must be prominently marked on the outside of the package. Do not include any
manuals or accessories in the shipping package. D-Link will only replace the defective portion of the
Product and will not ship back any accessories.
• The customer is responsible for all in-bound shipping charges to D-Link. No Cash on Delivery

lost in transit to D-Link. The repaired or replaced packages will be shipped to the customer via UPS
Ground or any common carrier selected by D-Link, with shipping charges prepaid. Expedited
shipping is available if shipping charges are prepaid by the customer and upon request.
D-Link may reject or return any product that is not packaged and shipped in strict compliance with the
foregoing requirements, or for which an RMA number is not visible from the outside of the package. The
product owner agrees to pay D-Link’s reasonable handling and return shipping charges for any product
that is not packaged and shipped in accordance with the foregoing requirements, or that is determined by
