Limited warranty
HARDWARE: Palm Computing, Inc., a subsidiary of 3Com Corporation (collectively
“3Com“), warrants to the original end user (“Customer”) that this product will be free
from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use, for one year from the
date of original purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller. 3Coms sole obligation
under this express warranty shall be, at 3Coms option and expense, to replace the prod-
uct or part with a comparable product or part, repair the product or part, or if neither
repair nor replacement is reasonably available, 3Com may, in its sole discretion, refund
to Customer the purchase price paid for the product or part. Replacement products or
parts may be new or reconditioned. 3Com warrants any replaced or repaired product
or part, and any hardware upgrade to which Customer is entitled under an agreement
between Customer and 3Com, for a period of ninety (90) days from shipment, or
through the end of the original warranty, whichever is longer. All products or parts that
are replaced become the property of 3Com.
Accessory products, as listed in the applicable 3Com catalogue, are not covered under
this Limited Warranty except for the modem for the connected organizer, the cradles,
cables, memory upgrades, and leather items sold under the 3Com
® brand. 3Com shall
not be responsible for Customers software, firmware, information, or memory data
contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to 3Com for repair,
whether under warranty or not.
SOFTWARE: 3Com warrants to Customer that the Palm™ Desktop organizer software
and Palm OS™ software licensed from it will perform in substantial conformance to
their program specifications, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of original
purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller. 3Com warrants the media containing
software against failure during the warranty period. No updates are provided. 3Com
does not provide any warranty for Adobe
® Acrobat® Reader or any other third-party
applications software that is licensed to Customer by the third party. 3Coms sole obli-
gation with respect to this express warranty shall be (at 3Coms discretion) to refund the 
						

							Page 274 
purchase price paid by Customer for any defective software product, or to replace any
defective media with software which substantially conforms to applicable 3Com pub-
lished specifications. 3Com makes no warranty or representation that its software prod-
ucts will meet Customers requirements or will work in combination with any hardware
or applications software products provided by third parties, that the operation of the
software products will be uninterrupted or error free, or that all defects in the software
products will be corrected.
YEAR 2000 WARRANTY: In addition to the Hardware Warranty and Software War-
ranty stated above, 3Com warrants that the following date-data sensitive Palm Com-
puting
® products, namely the Pilot 1000, Pilot 5000, PalmPilot™ Personal Edition,
PalmPilot Professional Edition, Palm III™, and Palm VII™ connected organizers, as
well as all other 3Com products based on the Palm Computing platform software as of
July 1, 1998 and later, including the companion desktop software for Microsoft
® Win-
dows® and MAC OS™ platforms, will continue performing properly with regard to
such date-data on and after January 1, 2000, provided that all other products used by
Customer in connection or combination with the Palm Computing product, including
hardware, software, and firmware, accurately exchange date-data with the Palm Com-
puting product. 3Com makes no certification regarding the Year 2000 status of any other
Palm Computing products.
Any Palm Computing platform application supplied by 3Com that makes correct use of
Palm Computing platform date and time functions will not have a problem transition-
ing to the year 2000. The date and time utilities for the Palm Computing platform use 32
bits to store seconds, starting at January 1, 1904. This approach allows the correct repre-
sentation of dates up to 6:28:15 A.M. on February 6, 2040. Provided the product is still
being sold by 3Com, 3Com will make software enhancements to remove this limitation
to the Palm Computing platform well in advance of this date.
If it appears that any Palm Computing product does not perform properly with regard
to such date-data on and after January 1, 2000, and Customer notifies Palm Computing
before the later of April 1, 2000, or ninety (90) days after original purchase of the product
from 3Com or its authorized reseller, 3Com shall, at its option and expense, provide a
software update which would effect the proper performance of the product, repair the
product, deliver to Customer an equivalent product to replace the product, or, if none
of the foregoing is feasible, refund to Customer the purchase price paid for the product.
Any software update or replaced or repaired Palm Computing product will carry a Year
2000 Limited Warranty for ninety (90) days after purchase or until April 1, 2000, which-
ever is later.
Customers using date and time utilities other than those supplied by Palm Computing
should check with the developer to determine if the software will correctly handle all of
the subtle issues of date and time conversion.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE: Customer must contact a Palm Computing,
Inc. or 3Com Technical Support or Customer Service center within the applicable war-
ranty period to obtain warranty service authorization. Dated proof of original purchase
from 3Com or its authorized reseller will be required. 3Com is not responsible for Cus-
tomer products or parts received without a warranty service authorization. In the Unit-
ed States, 3Com may ship a replacement product or part prior to receiving the original 
						

							Page 275
product or part (“advance exchange”). If advance exchange is not available, then the re-
paired product or part will be shipped as soon as reasonably possible, which will be no
later than thirty (30) days after 3Com receives the original product or part. Repaired or
replacement products will be shipped to Customer at 3Coms expense. The repair and
replacement process for products or parts in locations outside of the United States will
vary depending on Customers location.
Products or parts shipped by Customer to 3Com must be sent prepaid and packaged
appropriately for safe shipment, and it is recommended that they be insured or sent by
a method that provides for tracking of the package. When an advance exchange is pro-
vided and Customer fails to return the original product or part to 3Com within thirty
(30) days from the date the warranty service authorization is issued, 3Com will charge
Customer the then-current published catalogue price of such product or part.

STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDI-
TIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATIS-
FACTORY QUALITY, CORRESPONDENCE WITH DESCRIPTION, AND NON-

THER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT
ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION,
MAINTENANCE OR USE OF ITS PRODUCTS.
3COM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IF ITS TESTING AND EX-
AMINATION DISCLOSE THAT THE ALLEGED DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION IN
THE PRODUCT DOES NOT EXIST OR WAS CAUSED BY CUSTOMERS OR ANY
THIRD PERSONS MISUSE, NEGLECT, IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR TESTING,
UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPTS TO OPEN, REPAIR, OR MODIFY THE PRODUCT, OR
ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND THE RANGE OF THE INTENDED USE, OR BY ACCI-
DENT, FIRE, LIGHTNING, OTHER HAZARDS, OR ACTS OF GOD. THIS WARRAN-
TY DOES NOT COVER PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE OF THE PRODUCT,
INCLUDING CRACKS OR SCRATCHES ON THE LCD TOUCHSCREEN OR OUT-
SIDE CASING. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY WHEN THE MALFUNCTION

THORIZED RESELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAM-
AGES, AND LIMITS ITS LIABILITY TO REPLACEMENT, REPAIR, OR REFUND OF
THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID, AT 3COMS OPTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABIL-
ITY FOR DAMAGES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED IF ANY REMEDY PROVIDED HERE-
IN SHALL FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
DISCLAIMER: Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limi-
tation of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages for
certain products supplied to consumers, or the limitation of liability for personal injury,
so the above limitations and exclusions may be limited in their application to you. When
the implied warranties are not allowed to be excluded in their entirety, they will be lim-
ited to the duration of the applicable written warranty. This warranty gives you specific
legal rights which may vary depending on local law.
GOVERNING LAW: This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State
of California, U.S.A. excluding its conflicts of laws principles and excluding the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
