LIMITED WARRANTY 

D-Link provides this limited warranty for its product only to the person or entity who originally purchased the product 

from D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor. D-Link would fulfill the warranty obligation according to the local 

warranty policy in which you purchased our products. 

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 date of original retail purchase 

of the Hardware, for the period set forth below applicable to the product type (“Warranty Period”) if the Hardware is 

used and serviced in accordance with applicable documentation; provided that a completed Registration Card is 

returned to an Authorized D-Link Service Office within ninety (90) days after the date of original retail purchase of the 

Hardware. If a completed Registration Card is not received by an authorized D-Link Service Office within such ninety 

(90) period, then the Warranty Period shall be ninety (90) days from the date of purchase.

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 may 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. 

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 delivery of the Software for a period of ninety (90) days (“Warranty Period”), 

if 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. 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. 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.
