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

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

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-

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

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

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.
