3Com's sole obligation under this express warranty shall be, at 3Com's option and

responsible for Customer products or parts received without a warranty service
authorization. In the United States, 3Com may ship a replacement product or part
prior to receiving the original product or part ("advance exchange"). If advance
exchange is not available, then the repaired 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 3Com's expense. The repair and replacement process for products or
parts in locations outside of the United States will vary depending on Customer's

3Com will charge Customer the then-current price of such product or part.
