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

except where the non-compatibility is caused by a "bug" or defect in the third

meeting this standard. If it appears that any product that is stated to meet this

period to obtain warranty service authorization. Dated proof of purchase from 3Com

or its authorized reseller may be required. Products returned to 3Com's Corporate

Dead- or Defective-on-Arrival. In the event a product completely fails to function

or exhibits a defect in materials or workmanship within the first forty-eight (48)

hours of installation but no later than thirty (30) days after the date of purchase, and

this is verified by 3Com, it will be considered dead- or defective-on-arrival (DOA) and

a replacement shall be provided prior to 3Com receiving the defective product, but

only if Customer provides a purchase order number, credit card number, or other

method of payment acceptable to 3Com, to be used if 3Com needs to charge

Customer for the replacement, as explained below. The replacement product will

normally be shipped not later than three (3) business days after 3Com's verification

of the DOA product, but may be delayed due to export or import procedures. The

ARRANTY

shipment of a replacement product prior to 3Com receiving the defective product is

subject to local legal requirements and may not be available in all locations. When

such a replacement is provided and Customer fails to return the original product to

3Com within fifteen (15) days after shipment of the replacement, 3Com will charge

Customer for the replacement product, at list price.

Shipment of a Replacement Prior to 3Com Receiving the Defective Product is

provided for five (5) years, after which time it may be available for a specified fee,

but in either case only if Customer provides a purchase order number, credit card

number, or other method of payment acceptable to 3Com, to be used if 3Com

needs to charge Customer for the replacement, as explained below. 3Com will make

commercially reasonable efforts to ship the replacement product not later than five

(5) business days after receiving the request for a replacement, but may be delayed

due to product availability or export or import procedures. The shipment of a

replacement product prior to 3Com receiving the defective product is subject to local

legal requirements and may not be available in all locations. When such a

replacement is provided and Customer fails to return the original product to 3Com

within fifteen (15) days after shipment of the replacement, 3Com will charge

Customer for the replacement, at list price. This replacement prior to 3Com receiving

the defective product is different from the fee-based Advance Hardware Replacement

Service, which is available as a contracted service offering.
