Limited Lifetime Warranty

## Warranties

As the original purchaser, you receive these warranties from Xircom:

### Hardware

Your Xircom Ethernet PC Card (RealPort2 Ethernet 10/100, RealPort Ethernet 10/100, RealPort Ethernet 10, CreditCard Ethernet 10/100, or CreditCard Ethernet 10) products (collectively, “Products”), will be free from defects in material and workmanship and will perform in substantial compliance with your user documentation accompanying the Products for as long as you own and properly use the Products.

### Software

Software accompanying these Products (including driver, utility software, etc.) and the magnetic or optical media containing the software are warranted to perform in substantial compliance with the specifications contained in your user documentation for two years from your purchase date. Our warranty does not cover or provide you with rights to upgrades or updates.

You are responsible for your choice of applications programs or related reference materials. Given the wide range of third party hardware and applications software products you might use our software with, you understand that Xircom does not warrant the compatibility or the uninterrupted or error free operation of our software.

Upon our confirmation of a covered defect or failure, at our option we will repair or replace the affected item or will refund your purchase price if repair or replacement is not possible or practical. At our option, replacement products or repaired items may be a new, refurbished, or functionally equivalent item. Our warranty on items serviced under warranty will be lifetime for hardware and, for software, 90 days from return to you of software/magnetic media or the remainder of the original warranty, whichever is longer. Repair, replacement, or refund are the exclusive remedies available to you from Xircom for products and software.

## Your Obligations

Your warranty rights will be honored provided you

1. Read and follow your user documentation for installation, setup, software setup, and operating guidelines.
2. Use the Products and software only in suitable physical or operating environments as described in your user documentation and for purposes for which the Products and software are intended.

Xircom’s Technical Support department at (805) 376-9200.

Your Xircom contact will discuss your problem to confirm the defect. If warranty or return service is needed, you’ll receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. Replacement Product will be shipped when the original Product has been received by Xircom. (U.S. only: advance shipment of replacement Product is available with a credit card deposit.)

Ship your return Product prepaid, with the RMA number clearly visible on the outside of the shipping package, to:

Returned Products may need to include, if requested by Xircom, all other components from your original package, including the Product and any cables, connectors, software media, and user documentation. Be sure to enclose a copy of your purchase receipt or other proof of purchase confirming that you are the original purchaser.

## Limitations

Our warranty is subject to the following limitations:

- We do not cover or accept liability for any injury, damage, or failure caused by misuse, abuse, acts of Nature, accidents (e.g., dropping the Products or software diskettes), failure to follow instructions and procedures contained in the user documentation, electrical mishaps, causes beyond our control, or claims by other than the original purchaser.
- We will not honor, and will consider our warranty voided, if there has been any (1) tampering with the Product’s external label or serial number, (2) attempt to open the Product’s case, or (3) attempted or actual repair by anyone other than an authorized Xircom technician.

## Disclaimer

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY WE MAKE FOR THE PRODUCT AND SOFTWARE. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, NO OTHER WARRANTY APPLIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OF NON-INFRINGEMENT. XIRCOM WILL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (e.g., LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO ANY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT OR RELATED DATA).

## Additional Rights

Some states or countries do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on the length of an implied warranty, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. Our warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state or country to country.
