address).
The Canon USA repair facility will ship out  the replacement Product, via 2nd day Air freight 
service, prepaid by Canon USA. After receipt of  the replacement Product (with instructions and a 
prepaid waybill), follow the enclosed instructions  on how to ship the defective Product to the
