accessories, or any consumables, such as paper or ink cartridges, as to which there shall be no

items except for compatible Canon brand peripheral equipment covered by a separate warranty 
(“Separate Warranty”). Repairs of such Canon brand peripheral equipment shall be governed by the 
terms of the Separate Warranty. Non-Canon brand equipment and software that may be distributed

operate the Product as set forth in the user’s manual or other documentation for the Product.
(b) Use of parts, media, software or supplies (other than those sold by Canon USA), including 
non-Canon ink cartridges or refilled ink cartridges, that cause damage to the Product or

THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, AND EVEN IF CANON USA OR ITS ASF HAS BEEN 
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOR SHALL RECOVERY OF ANY KIND

The Canon USA repair facility will ship out the replacement Product prepaid by Canon USA.
