and conditions:
 
1.  The limited warranty for the product extends 
for TWELVE (12) MONTHS beginning on the 
date of purchase of the product with valid 
proof of purchase, or absent valid proof of 
purchase, FIFTEEN (15) MONTHS from date 
of manufacture as determined by the unit’s

original purchaser of the product and is not 
assignable or transferable to any subsequent 
purchaser/end user.
 
3.  This warranty is good only to the original 
purchaser of the product during the warranty 
period as long as it is in the U.S, including 
Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. Territories and Canada.
 
4.  The external housing and cosmetic parts shall 
be free of defects at the time of shipment and, 
therefore, shall not be covered under these 
limited warranty terms.
 
5.  Upon request from LG, the consumer must 
provide information to reasonably prove the 
date of purchase.
 
6.  The customer shall bear the cost of shipping 
the product to the Customer Service 
Department of LG. LG shall bear the cost of 
shipping the product back to the consumer

limited warranty.
2.  WHAT THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT 
COVER :
1.  Defects or damages resulting from use of the 
product in other than its normal and customary 
manner.
2.  Defects or damages from abnormal use, 
abnormal conditions, improper storage, exposure 
to moisture or dampness, unauthorized 
modifications, unauthorized connections, 
unauthorized repair, misuse, neglect, abuse, 
accident, alteration, improper installation, or 
other acts which are not the fault of LG, including 
damage caused by shipping, blown fuses, spills 
of food or liquid.
3.  Breakage or damage to antennas unless caused 
directly by defects in material or workmanship.
4.   That the Customer Service Department at LG was 
not notified by consumer of the alleged defect or 
malfunction of the product during the applicable 
limited warranty period.
5.  Products which have had the serial number 
removed or made illegible.
6.  This limited warranty is in lieu of all other 
warranties, express or implied either in fact or 
by operations of law, statutory or otherwise, 
including, but not limited to any implied warranty 
of marketability or fitness for a particular use.
7.  Damage resulting from use of non-LG approved

11.  Consumables (such as fuses).
3. WHAT LG WILL DO:
   LG will, at its sole option, either repair, replace or 
refund the purchase price of any unit that does 
not conform to this limited warranty. LG may 
choose at its option to use functionally equivalent 
reconditioned, refurbished or new units or parts 
or any units. In addition, LG will not re-install or 
back-up any data, applications or software that 
you have added to your phone. It is therefore 
recommended that you back-up any such data 
or information prior to sending the unit to LG to 
avoid the permanent loss of such information.
4. STATE LAW RIGHTS :
  No other express warranty is applicable to 
this product. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED 
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED 
WARRANTY OF MARKETABILITY, IS LIMITED TO 
THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY 
HEREIN. LG INFOCOMM INC. SHALL NOT BE 
LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF THE USE OF THE 
PRODUCT, INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OR ANY 
OTHER DAMAGES, DIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, 
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY 
TO USE, THIS PRODUCT OR FOR ANY BREACH 
OF ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, 
INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF 
MARKETABILITY APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT.    Some states do not allow the exclusive of 
limitation of incidental or consequential damages 
or limitations on how long an implied warranty 
lasts; so these limitations or exclusions may not 
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal 
rights and you may also have other rights which 
vary from state to state.
